Once you have found the artifact, press this button on your suit and you will get teleported back to the Black Mesa laboratory.

Work your way through a few areas of BM and kill a few enemies, not rocket science, is it?

Tired of hearing about mods that claim they are going to re-create the HL2 leaked beta? NO? Then is mod is absolutely, definitely, probably, maybe, possibly for you or maybe somebody you know, or a friend of somebody you know.

Author’s Note
“This is yet another ‘You are Gordon Freeman and must escape Black Mesa’ episode with some really random title, but I still hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it.”

“The Game Master’s Lair challenges the player with three “Classic Game” Puzzles inspired by Milton Bradley’s Simon Game, ATARI’s Breakout, and the game show “Let’s Make a Deal.”

The Level is intended to fit within the Half-Life universe, but showcase unique gameplay atypical of a combat oriented First Person Shooter. The player is armed with only the basic physics cannon and must solve each puzzle to advance. The level’s difficulty must be accessible to all skills levels.”

It features 6 levels of action, exploring a range of locations, non-linear level progression, a musical score, some new abstract textures and challenging gameplay.

From there you need to follow the clues and reach a specific point.

Be careful because your way is blocked at certain points and the use of the airboat is recommended, although not required.

Another escape the prison map. This one contains large Combine architecture, with long balconies from which the Combine can attack you.
