help Half-Life: Decay FAQ
Can you play Half-Life: Decay on PC?
Not officially - it was a PlayStation 2 exclusive when Gearbox Software released it in 2001. Years later, fans built an unofficial PC port, which remains the only way to play it outside of the PS2 version.
Can Half-Life: Decay be played single-player?
Yes, there is a solo mode where an AI controls the second character. The game was genuinely designed around two-player split-screen cooperation, though, since both scientists are needed to solve Black Mesa's puzzles.
Who are the two playable characters in Decay?
You play as Gina Cross and Colette Green, two scientists at the Black Mesa Research Facility. Their story runs parallel to Gordon Freeman's during the same resonance cascade incident.
How does Decay fit with the other Half-Life expansions?
It is the third Gearbox-developed expansion after Opposing Force (1999) and Blue Shift (2001). All three retell the Black Mesa incident from different characters' perspectives in the same 24-hour window.
