History VideoGame / GreyHalfLife2

* [[EasyModeMockery Normal Mode Mockery]]: Several scares, enemies, and an entire ending are kept from the player until they beat Hard mode.

''Grey'' is a PsychologicalHorror game created as a mod to Creator/ValveSoftware's popular ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' video game by Deppresick Team. Grey acts as a total conversion mod to a certain extent, as much of the game's content is new rather than being lifted straight out of ''Half-Life 2'' (aside from some sound effects and certain enemy behaviors).

* NintendoHard: The game's hard mode, which rivals Cry of Fear's Nightmare mode in difficulty. Not only does it change the maps and how the player progresses through them, but several late-game enemies appear way earlier in the game, health and ammunition are much scarcer, and there are several enemies that could kill the player at low-health. [[UpToEleven And that's all before the player even gets to the mechanics shop.]]

* CreepyChild: the game's only real "boss" fight is against three of these that look about the same.

* SurrealHorror: One of the main features of this game, especially whenever Grey starts hallucinating.

* OurGhostsAreDifferent: [[spoiler: Assuming the events of the game really took place in-universe, his mom became a full-on RealityWarper after she died.]]

''Grey's'' biggest inspirations include ''VideoGame/SilentHill'', ''Film/JacobsLadder'', and ''VideoGame/CondemnedCriminalOrigins'', and due to the game's nature as a horror mod for a ''Half-Life'' game, it can even been seen as a companion title to other popular horror mods such as ''VideoGame/CryOfFear'' and ''VideoGame/AfraidOfMonsters''.

* NintendoHard: The game's hard mode, which rivals Cry of Fear's Nightmare mode in difficulty. Not only does it change the maps and how the player progresses through them, but several late-game enemy types appear before the player even gets the pistol, health and ammunition are much scarcer, and there are several enemies that could kill the player at low-health.

* ScoringPoints: At the end of the game (after the 1.1 update) you are given a score based on how well you did. Unlike ''VideoGame/CryOfFear'', however, there's no point to getting a high score (at least on Normal mode).

* [[EasyModeMockery Normal Mode Mockery]]: If you beat the game on Normal mode [[spoiler: Grey is locked in the basement of the hospital by his mother's spirit.]] You have to play the harder mode in order to get a different ending.

* ScareChord: Used on some of the jump scares.

* PsychologicalHorror: In the same vein as a few of the game's inspirations (in particular the DarkWorld aspect feels similar to ''SilentHill'' and ''{{Condemned}}'').

!!Tropes associated with {{Grey}}:

* BarrierBustingBlow: Happens during the "asylum" hallucination from an enemy that can't be harmed.
