The mod is notable for its expansive maps and alternate paths (deviating from its parent game's nonlinear presentation). The story is more than a little vague, though according to the developers it is based (or at least inspired by) ''Half-Life'' story writer's Marc Laidlaw's novel ''The Third Force: A Novel of Gadget''.
