* Story

	HOME ALONE -NOT... 

You are not Gordon Freeman. In fact, you've never heard of him(which
is obvious). But one night, bad things just start to happen. You're in a
very bad situation, just like Dr. Freeman was.

A small group of aliens have invaded your house. Some of them are like any
Earth animal. Some of them are just like humans: intelligent and evil. 

(When you visited the US. last week, you read an article about a village nut
who claimed that he had met some "Grand Intellectual Species from outer space."
He said that the US Government had managed to travel to their homeworld,
where they enslaved or massacred the aliens. Could it be true? Are you
dealing with these aliens now ?)

You will soon find out that your house is surrounded by military goons, except that
they're not really goons, but troops with a mission: take down all hostiles.
You hope that they will kill the aliens and save you, but your boss did mention
something about rumours of his rivals. You are a foreman at the Building Company,
and it has been your job to oversee various building processes.

What a nasty situation. All because of a high-tech Hazardous Environment Suit of 
unknown origin. Heck, at least it works, and it keeps you in one piece while working
for the not-so-local Building Company. The Company's boss kindly asked you
to bring the HEV back. 

Sure, the HEV's pretty valuable, but why would a bunch of commandos want it ?
Or aliens, who obviously have the ability to travel between dimensions ?

Just a suit ? Nah, it's gotta be more than that... 
--------------------------------------------------------------

Playing tips & hints; pretty obvious.

* HEV and some weaponry can be found in the starting map.
* DON'T go outside (red door) before you have enough weapons...
* Stuck ? Duck ! And move !
* Search all dark spots, doors, drawers etc. with your use key, crowbar
and flashlight ! You'll find items...
* Different types(!) of duck-jumping may come in handy!
* Pay attention to storyline (now is there such a thing?).
