The release of Half-Life in 1998 changed the future of video games. This genre defining masterpiece continued on with multiple sequels, however, as we all know, during the development of the story of a game, other ideas and suggestions are left behind.

In this video, I explore Mathoms From The Lambda Files. A collection of two unknown stories developed by Marc Laidlaw. This blog post gives us an insight into just how different Half-Life could have been if these alternate ideas were suggested to the Half-Life team, and we look into how much of an impact it would have left on the future titles.
