Development
Develpoment for the game started in 2014 when long time Half-Life fan Richard Seabrook first started to develop the game. Some time in 2015, Richard sent a prototype for his game to Valve in a Half-Life themed Brief Case. Valve liked what they saw so they gave the game a thumbs up and gave Richard full control over the Half-Life source engine and Valve deemed his game to be second level canon which is equally as canon as the Half-Life 1 expansion pack. The finished Prospekt wa dot be released February 11th 2016 but was pushed back to the 18th due to the Lunar Sale event. Prospect has 13 chapters and according to Richard Seabrook, was intended to be equal to Half-Life: 2 episode 1.

Gameplay
Much like the games before it, Prospekt was a FPS game that's primary antagonist's are the Combine Empire. Unlike the other games, Prospekt has H.E.C.U soldie Adrian Shephard at center stage and instead of the H.E.V suit, the player uses Shephards combat armour Like the H.E.V. The armour fills up to a maximum of 100 and is worn down by enemy attacks or environmental damag. It can be filled up using the Comien Charging Station. Pound for Pound, Prospekt is very similar to other Half-Life games except that the player doesn't have control over the Gravity Gun, the Crossbow and the Pherapods.

Reception
The game received mixed reviews but had a slightly more positive review all around. A main point in criticism is the bugs the game has and the lack of diversity in the enemy choices, as deeper I the game, The Combine become the players only enemy. Many players actually asked for a refund while others defended the game and shamed the negative critics. As of now all of Half-Life: Prospekt purchases were made on Steam
