Malice Breach

Their fate was ultimately sealed, forever, in the Malice. They are now forever a part of the living, breathing, punishing world.

Hours after the resonance cascade, a breach opened in a part of Black Mesa that isn't on any map: a way into the Malice, a parallel copy of every world you know, rotted into flesh. The Xen found it first and wandered in, curious. Black Mesa's scientists and an HEV crew went in next, not knowing the Xen were already inside, and the military followed and set up camp on the other side. They had known about the breach for hours. None of them came back. Now your team has found the portal and steps through, not knowing what horrors wait on the other side. The Malice kept everyone who went before you, and grew them into what you see below.

A wave-based story told in chapters. Earn Ichor from everything you kill, feed it to the Flesh Terminal to build your arsenal, and survive the waves as you push deeper into the Malice. Each chapter is harder than the last, and at the end the Malice itself is waiting.

The look is drawn from brutal death metal album art: flesh, bone and ritual, nothing held back.

rituals/

What the Malice made of the people who came first.

The Bone Throne
The Bone ThroneCathedral of Fused BoneA cathedral of fused bone: blood-soaked steps climb to a throne grown from a dozen skeletons. Whoever sat here never got up. The headcrabs at his feet rotted with him.
The Idol
The IdolSworn to DesecrationBlack stone and ram horns. It holds a heart high, still bleeding into the offering bowl. Everything that kneels here is sworn to desecration.
The Stakes
The StakesSentenced to RotCharred stakes in a mound of flesh. The Hollowed hang on them, some upright, some head-down, sentenced to rot. Three stakes are still empty.
The Offering
The OfferingExcision of the EvisceratedA HECU soldier hung on a bone tree, his back flayed open into wings. The Malice excises what is left of him, one organ at a time.
The Pillar
The PillarFused in DecayA twisted column of flesh with bodies fused into it. Scientist, soldier and Xen alike, decaying as one, and still reaching out.
The Watchers
The WatchersUlcerated Necrotic SenescenceThree dead heads of Malice flesh grown out of a wall, jaws hanging open over what is left at their feet. Ulcerated, senescent, and still watching.
The Heap
The HeapSqualid PutrefactionA mound of flesh and bodies, squalid and putrefying, piled head-high. A few are still trying to climb out.
Bone Cradle
Bone CradleLoathsome Craniectomic GorgingA Hollowed soldier, headless, hung in a cradle of Malice bone. The tendril in his neck is still feeding.
Bone Cradle: the scientist
Bone Cradle: the scientistVisceral ProcurementOne of the HEV team that found the Malice first. Chest split open, ribs pried apart. The procurement has already begun.
The Maw
The MawGorging on Rotten RemnantsA spiral of flesh in the floor, ringed with teeth, dragging bodies down. It never stops gorging.

Out in the yards and the tunnels.

The Thorn Mother
The Thorn MotherVault of TormentA hunched mass of Malice flesh grown out of a wall, its chest torn open on a rib cage, eyes all over it. Its halo of thorns holds what is left of the soldiers and scientists.
The Meat Truck
The Meat TruckSlick Flesh Against AsphaltThe HECU hauler that came in first. Its cargo bed is full now, and every body that slides off the back hits the road with a wet slap.
The Flesh Terminal
The Flesh TerminalSanguinous Visceral TransfusionRises out of the floor between waves. Feed it Ichor and it gives you what you need to survive the next one.
Malice Crystal
Malice CrystalSeptic Dysmorphic ContagionXen crystal, taken by the flesh. The infection has deformed it into something that is no longer mineral.
