THE FINAL HOURS OF HALF-LIFE: ALYX is an interactive storybook, written by Geoff Keighley, that takes fans inside Valve Software to chronicle the company’s past decade of game development, including the return of Half-Life.

## About This Game
Twenty-two years ago, Geoff Keighley was in college when he visited Gabe
Newell and Valve Software to write The Final Hours of Half-Life. Now, over two
decades later, Keighley returns to Valve for The Final Hours of Half-Life:
Alyx.

This 25,000 word multimedia experience gives readers an unprecedented and
unvarnished look at the past decade inside Valve. From the revelation of
surprising canceled projects to never-before-seen images, photos and video,
The Final Hours dissects Valve’s creative process and candidly explores the
development history of Half-Life: Alyx.

This interactive storybook does not use or require a virtual reality headset.
It merges a 25,000 word traditional story with 3D video game technology to
give customers a fly-on-the-wall perspective of Valve’s creative process.
