About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

Project Borealis: Prologue is a fan-made game which expands on the classic episodic series by Valve Software. Return to a snow covered Ravenholm and experience the iconic town reimagined in an arctic atmosphere and modern graphics.

Return to the snow-covered streets of Ravenholm in this reimagined continuation of the beloved Half-Life saga. Project Borealis: Prologue is a fan-made gaming experience set before the events of Project Borealis. 

Project Borealis and Project Borealis: Prologue are fan creations developed by Icebreaker Industries LLC and not affiliated with Valve Corporation.

The Legacy Continues

Inspired by the epic cliffhanger from Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Project Borealis represents a fan-made effort to realize a cohesive story conclusion to the episodic series. This prologue chapter invites players back into the HEV suit of Gordon Freeman, offering a glimpse into the next chapter of his journey.

A Familiar Yet Different World

Step into a Ravenholm transformed by time and the elements. The once-familiar town now lies buried under a blanket of snow, hiding the past and new present dangers beneath its pristine surface. As you navigate through this hauntingly beautiful landscape, you'll encounter some classic enemies reimagined and completely new secrets hidden within.

Powered by Unreal Engine 5

Experience the Half-Life universe like never before with stunning visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5. From the glint of ice on abandoned buildings to the eerie scuttle of headcrabs in the distance, great attention has been given to preserve the uniquely immersive feeling of the original games.

For the Fans, By the Fans

Project Borealis: Prologue is a labor of love, created by passionate fans determined to see the Half-Life story through to its conclusion. While this prologue is just the beginning — acting as a bridge between the familiar and the unknown — it represents our commitment to delivering an experience worthy of the Half-Life legacy.

The journey that began so long ago in City 17 is far from over — and Ravenholm is just the first step into a larger world waiting to be explored.
