The air is foul and corporate fascism reigns in the not too distant future.
Somewhere in the North American Union you are Myo Hyori, an 18 year-old girl of Korean descent who has had enough.
Oh and you can start fires- with your mind.
This makes your corporate owners very nervous…
Humanity is deeply in debt and under constant surveillance.
Refugees flood the West due to a devastating war in the Middle East and major earth changes in South-East Asia.
The oil flow dries up.
Marshall Law introduced in response to a chain of domestic terrorist attacks against major financial institutions.
The air becomes poisonous in major cities – The rise of air tycoons, owners of air recycling plants.
Anyone not purchasing a set amount of goods in a certain amount of time is labeled a nosumer and can be charged with refusal to stimulate the failing economy.
Cybernetics is everywhere.
Europe becomes too cold, many parts of Asia sink, Africa and South America are raped for natural resources while North America is constantly ravaged by earthquakes.
Marriage and the nuclear family are on the way out, there are three women to a man.
There are permanent colonies on Mars and the Moon.
But as the old world is crumbling something new is coming into being. Many people are waking up to their true powers- their DNA changing somehow….
You are one of these outcasts.

I think it would be cool if we all record exactly how long it takes for us to play this mod. Just like GameLengths. Actually, it’s a feature I would like to add properly to the site early next year.
I am trying Toggl and it looks pretty cool. Hopefully, MapTap will have a timer in a future version.
- Copy the Gstring folder into your SourceMods folder.
- Restart or start Steam.

The other reviews said it pretty much already.
Ambitious, gorgeous, atmospheric, sometimes frustrating.
But overall, few mods can deliver such a unique adventure.
21st February 2012
Well put.
22nd February 2012
Addendum:
-There’s no saying just how amazing the atmosphere/suspense can be in some parts: (mild spoilers) the eerie derelict buildings, nuked city, and high-rise parts, are convincing, breathtaking, and downright disturbing. I haven’t seen so much talent in a long time, if ever.
-The amount of detail everywhere in this mod is almost mind boggling.
-No trace of ridiculous hollywood-esque overstated detonation garbage for 5-year olds in this mod! It’s all so refreshingly clean.
-Of course, this mod isn’t for everyone. Some will hate it a great deal. Amen.
-Didn’t use the slowmotion feature once. Just never liked that in any game.
-The lack of crosshair makes the game significantly more difficult.
14th May 2012
I’ve just started playing Gstring and have 2 questions (so far):
1. Is there any way to add the crosshair?
2. I can’t seem to control mouse movements, it leaps about with the tiniest of touches, even on minimum sensitivity, any clues as to why?
24th February 2012
Myo’s computer broke so the update might Take a little longer.
25th February 2012
Oh damn it, I change my review.
Not because of “popular demand”.
Not because I want to stay in the “global consensus” (I still continue to despise 1187, against all odds).
But, I can’t stop to think about this mod, and still following it, and trying to help the dev’ a bit, and some other stuff.
And also, this is like Strider Mountain… My first review was a TT, changed to PIN.
SM and GS were first both played at particularly hard moments of my life and my job, and probably suffered from that. I was even going to not play mod’s until 2013, but as you can see, this changed….
Well, PIN… Even if the flaws haven’t changed, I support them More and actually enjoyed them as good challenge… Like finding my way…
Other than That, it still stays as the greatest post-apo game ever made and it clearly… Hypnotized me.
Damn mod. Maybe the next patches will make me change the rating to PF, who knows. But this G String is so much a slap in the face, you should play it now.
But be still prepared to a hardcore journey…
“G String” should be studied. It is a UFO in the mod world, the game world. If this have been indie, it would have raised some controversy.
As a conclusion : Don’t push aside a work who talks so well about humanity.
13th March 2012
Awesome mod!
It ain’t perfect but that’s the beauty of it.
One talented girl modder indeed!
The maps are simply so colorful and lots of sexiness hehe!
Playing it wanna makes you go out and go disco disco with Zohan ahihi!
Some of the weapons looks and sounded horrible though but
I simply fix that using my smod custom weapons.
Updates in the future for this mod might be the addition of
iron sighted weapons which I suggested and was offered to rescript
the weapons definitely an honor to help out a fellow mapper/modder.

the major problem i am having is this:
ED_Alloc: no free edicts
i read a post somewhere that said to type “-num_edicts 2047″ (without the quotes) in the steam ‘launch options’ dialog box.
this hasn’t helped. it still keeps crashing to the desktop.
lowering the resolution doesn’t fix the problem for me either.
i have tried typing -num_edicts 6000 to see if this will help, but nothing.
i noticed that i am not alone in this respect, but no-one has provided any decent workarounds to this.
does myo know about this. if she is aware, will this be addressed in the forthcoming patch?
cheers.
baz.
22nd April 2012
I had this problem with one map only, the one with a huge chasm in the ventilation, so I avoided looking down and then the problem stopped in the next map.
As for Myo being aware, you may find the info at the bottom of this page relevant:

@denizen50:
cheers for replying.
i have got past it now by purely running into the problem area and tearing across to the other exit in that room and going through it.
there was a few times where i missed the correct exit so it crashed again.
the key, for me anyway, was constantly spamming the quick-save every-time i made about 5seconds of progress before it decided to crash to the desktop.
29th April 2012
I have posted my review if anybody is interested. It’s at the top of the first page.

This is lovechild.
I won’t say much because many said everything about details before.
Don’t expect an easy run. I’m talking not only about partially terrible level design but emotional touch and depth it will have on your heart and soul. It will suck you in and won’t let you go. It will give you not only gameplay but EXPERIENCE. Experience of dying or may be already dead world. That feeling of oblivion which is reaches extreme in scenes with Korean pop songs – at contrast with their happy tone. And it’s good that you should seek your way further because you can look at surroundings (don’t forget – you can sprint without limitations) at dead body of that city.
This mod brings more horror when Cry of Fear could ever dream.
This is manifesto.
This was made not to entertain you but to hit you at your head with a plank of wood. To make you fall on your knees in despair.
This is art.
