Iron Lung fans hoping for more aquatic horror are in luck, as Klems has announced The Temple, a standalone Half-Life 2 mod. Coming soon to ModDB and Steam, the mod will take players into the deep, but also amongst the clouds, and even into orbit for a two-hour cosmic horror adventure.
The Temple is a short, atmospheric first-person horror game set in the far future that sees players explore an abandoned colony on an aquatic planet aboard three separate vehicles, each with their own mechanics and environments. Players will also explore on foot, solve puzzles, and read logs in an effort to figure out what happened to the colonists.
You’ll dive deep beneath the sea with the submarine, fly high with the airship, and glide even higher with the space shuttle. You’ll need to take care, as ancient entities are lurking across the mod’s three chapters.
Klems states that The Temple is complete, with “only a few tweaks” needed before release. You’ll be able to get your hands on the mod as soon as next month.
