For those who couldn’t enjoy Half-Life Alyx due to the VR exclusivity, there is a new experience to enjoy set within the universe Valve built. This fan-created graphic novel is officially licensed and has just released a new chapter for fans to enjoy over on Steam. The seventh chapter, called The Dark Between Stars, is available now right here.
The Half-Life adaptation is called A Place in the West and was first published back in September of 2016. Created by a talented team of five, this adventure takes fans of the iconic Valve franchise on a wild new ride following Albert Kempinski. Scientist Leyla Poirier is also a main feature of this new tale alongside the beloved alien Vortigaunt, a warrior named Dreyfus.
“We’re so excited by this seventh chapter,” said writer and co-creator Ross Joseph Gardner. “It officially marks the halfway point in our story, and sees the comic’s setting, New Franklin, descend into civil war. The art team has done an incredible job.”
For those curious about jumping in, we’ve got a free preview at some of the new pages of the latest chapter, which you can see below:
