There were so many treacherous locations across Planet Earth during The Combine regime. A lot of these were developed by the alien empire, but there were others that formed naturally as a deadly result of a connection between two, very different dimensions. The Quarantine Zone was a place of nightmares, but how did it become this way?

Why was an entire section of City 17 quarantined? What secrets did it hold? And how did the unfortunate souls inside finally escape their perpetual torment? In this video, we explore the lore and story behind the Quarantine Zone in Half-Life: Alyx.
