15 Essential Half-Life 2 Mods You MUST Play

5. Nightmare House 2

Nightmare House 2 is a visceral, survival horror mod for Half-Life 2, set after the events of the original Nightmare House. Don't worry, the original is re-mastered here as a prologue so you can keep up with the story.

At the beginning of the narrative, following a car crash, you seek help at a creepy mansion. Unfortunately, this cavernous old house is inhabited by the vengeful spirit of a young woman and hordes of the undead.

After this traumatising experience, you wake up in the psychiatric ward of Never Lose Hope Hospital. Needless to say, the situation does not improve. It's dark, frightening and packed full of unexpected jump scares. Your nerves will be shredded.

If you're a horror fan then Nightmare House 2 is essential but also worth checking out is the excellent Silent Hill: Alchemilla, a faithful recreation of the psychological terror of that franchise.
