This is an exclusive demo, not related to the main campaign. You will not get spoiled the main campaign's content. Only the very end will provide some extra story information for the main campaign. Therefore, you are invited to freely play Atmospheric Demo.

Good day!
I have not really planned to make a release article, rather just upload the files and that is it. However, after some talk internally, we have come to realize we need to set up some instructions on reporting crashes and other various issues to avoid the typical "the mod always crashes" or other similar comment.
Issues can be reported in the comment section here. All issues are looked at, even if we are not necessarily responding to all of them.
Please provide as much information as possible. This includes:
Please note that empty comments that follow the trend "the mod crashes", "it doesn't work", "I have a bug", "fuk u" will be ignored.
Thank you for your patience! This is the beginning of the journey with Atmospheric Demo! Chapter 1 is in development and more information will be revealed as more progress is made.
Much has already been said in the previous article, however, we strongly recommend playing the game the first time on easy, medium or hard. Only play on nightmare difficulty on a second playthrough.
There are 2 slightly different endings. Finding all secrets and playing the entire demo on nightmare difficulty will unlock some extra story elements for the main campaign. Changing difficulty mid game or not finding all secrets will cancel that ending.
Have fun everyone!
Hard Duty features a bunch of new things. Some taken from the expansions and some being unique.
Hard Duty: Atmospheric Demo entered beta testing not long ago, see what has been learned through this phase.

Very impressive demo for a mod presentation, i really do like the atmosphere and detail of the maps kinda make me feel like playing Half-life Echoes again, i did both the endings and i can see you are a fan of Underhell cause i can see the reference at the end part. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for taking the time to play! I have watched with great pleasure and have taken note of two bugs:
1) You had trouble with the rope during the electrified water sequence. This is caused by playing Half-Life at high FPS. We will look at patching this.
2) It looks as though the slow motion effect played during the ambush sequence when the door blows up did not work for you. I am unsure why it did not play as we have tested this again right after seeing this gameplay and all of us had the slow motion effect play properly.
can i ask does the mod play on the xash 3d ?
No, it won't work on Xash.
I have a question about half-life hard duty: is this mod using the standard goldsource engine?
Yes.
Hard Duty was my nickname in college... But yeah, this one looks really promising, Imma keep my eyes on this one
Pretty, following
