After falling into a river, he realizes the dead have risen and they hunger...
 
''They Hunger'' is one of the better known ''[[Half Life]] One'' mods, alongside ''Counter-Strike'', ''[[The Hidden: Source]]'', ''Sven-Coop'', ''Redemption,'' ''Gunman Chronicles'', ''The Specialists''...
 
In this three part action horror/survival horror mod, you must fight your way through hordes of the experiments of a mad scientist, his minions, and the poor infected shmucks standing in your way.
Line 38:
* [[Cool Train]]: In the first episode. You get to control it, and it even goes Hoot Hoot!
* [[Cue the Sun]]: At the end of the third episode, {{spoiler|after the final fight in the air is over, the helicopter with the Deputy and the player flies off into the sunrise.}}
* [[Damage Sponge Boss]]: The Sheriff. An official mod was eventually released that halved his health and he ''still'' took forever to kill.
* [[Dem Bones]]: Resurrected skeletons that can talk. And shoot lightning bolts.
** "Who goes there~?"
Line 67:
{{quote|-- '''Zombified Soldier:''' "DIE, ZOMBIE SCUM!"}}
* [[Infant Immortality]]: Averted several times, sadly. In the hospital, a baby is heard crying, until it abruptly stops. The player cannot get to the nursery immediately, and when he does... There is a pile of gibs in the beds for newborns. And later in the mountains, the player has to kill their resurrected tiny, tiny skeletons that have the hunger...
* [[It Got Worse]] for each episode. The infection is not limited to humans, so there were more enemies in the later episodes.
* [[Jump Scare]]: A few of them are in the games, but thankfully, they are far between each other.
** Most memorable one is at the beginning, before the Zombies come and when the player walks to the church. He is walking through a cave when a skull rolls in front of him.
Line 86:
* [[Mood Whiplash]].
* [[Mooks but No Bosses]]: the first two episodes had no bossfights.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: The Devil´s Rift. It is an active volcano. Also, Rockwell Asylum for the Criminally Insane.
* [[Nightmare Dreams]]: The main character has two of them when he lies unconscious in the hospital.
* [[Night of the Living Mooks]]: Dr. Franklin and The Sheriff are the only zombified men with personalities.
Line 95:
* [[Our Zombies Are Different]] - Most zombies are of the B-movieish type, but people who have only recently been infected can still use their firearms and their knowledge they had prior. For instance, you learn that they can fly helicopters.
* [[Papa Wolf]] - The sheriff loves his zombie "children".
* [[Parasol of Pain]]: The first weapon picked up is a umbrella.
* [[People Farms]]: Instead of killing all the uninfected inmates in the Asylum, they are all locked in their cells instead.
* [[Pyromaniac]]: One is encountered in the Asylum. Even when he is dying he tells the player, with passion, to set the asylum on fire to kill everything in it. Not a bad idea. After the second episode, the player finaly gets to, so to speak,[[Video Game Flamethrowers Suck|try]] being one.
Line 111:
* [[Standard FPS Guns]]
* [[Stock Ness Monster]]: There is a Giant Bullsquid living in one of the lakes in Rockwell. If its existence and size has something to do with the undead is unknown.
* [[Story-Driven Invulnerability]]: At the gates of Dr. Franklin's asylum after setting the building on fire, the Doctor himself comes running from the same way you came. You cannot kill him, and once he runs up to you, both of you get knocked unconscious by the Asylum's explosion.
* [[Sunglasses At Night]]: The Sheriff.
* [[Take Over the World]]: Dr. Franklin and the Sheriff decides to spread their hunger.
Line 119:
* [[They Called Me Mad]]: Dr. Franklin says this word for word, replacing Mad with Crazy.
* [[Two-Faced]]: Dr. Franklin. He had the deformity before the infection, however.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: The Zombies.
* [[Undead Child]]: The baby skelletons.
* [[Unusable Enemy Equipment]]: The weapon Franklin uses against the player.
