  • An alternative, horror-toned texture overhaul for HL2 and CS:S, without straying too far from the Source engine artstyle, and being consistent.
  • This has gone through many rough drafts and iterations, I like the spot it's in now, though I am still doing touchups every now and then.
  • I would recommend pairing Alternative Atmosphere with this, it uses audio from the same games I used textures from.
  • Zero performance impact, the replacements are matched to original texture filesize & resolutions.

Beta Aesthetics never quite scratched my itch for an overhaul either, so this is my personal take. It's a niche and personalized look, so I don't expect this to tailor to literally everyone

Huge thanks to Lumine Trimethyworth for letting me borrow their S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Skyboxes, and Mellish for playtesting a bit.

A couple additional materials from PARANOIA, INFRA, and No More Room In Hell were also mixed into existing ones.

All credits to: GSC Game World, 4A Games, Tripwire Interactive, Monolith Studios, PARANOIA dev team, KPL-Team, Loiste Interactive, and NMRIH Team for textures.

You should play the games I used these assets from, they're really good.
