Half-Life: Alyx in real life

This might look like a video, but it's actually a love letter. To a life-changing VR experience that has altered the way I think about linearity and agency in narratives, and given me an incredible place to escape during the coronavirus quarantine. 

It took a team of hundreds 13 years to build this game. I have so many thoughts, but I'll get those down later. I have to go finish playing it. 

Update: The format and mechanics of this zombie shoot-em-up game is the backbone of Gaia. We are infinitely grateful to Valve for the gift they gave us by creating it.
