''Half-Life: Uplink'' is a '' demo, the location and scenario in this demonstration do not appear in ''Half-Life''. ''Day One'' is an OEM version that features roughly the first fifth of the entire game. The ''Half-Life 2'' demo features two selectable chapters taken directly from the game. Like its successor's demo, however, ''Uplink'' was made available for download after the release of the full retail version of the game. The Uplink chapters were cut during ''Half-Life'''s development phase, and roughly fit in prior to or during the ''Lambda Core'' chapter. They were, however, strongly revised for the demo release. ''Uplink'' also includes the same Hazard Course from the full release of ''Half-Life''. ''Uplink'' was included with the Game Of The Year Edition of ''Half-Life'' as a minor Mod , and was included with all later versions of it. While it is absent from Steam , it can still be installed if the user has access to the Uplink files from a previous ''Half-Life'' install, or through the ''Uplink Lite'' download {Link without Title} . STORY The player takes control of Gordon Freeman 48 hours after the "containment breach," according to a caption. A scientist and a Security Guard wish to enter the Lambda complex and escape, but they cannot open the reactor door until a signal is sent to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission ( USNRC ), and the Radio Antenna must be reconfigured manually. To this end, they enlist the player's aid, sending him through an area heavily populated with military personnel and Vortigaunt s; having reconfigured the antenna, the player must navigate through an underground maze populated by Headcrab s and zombies. Arriving back at the starting point, the player passes through the previous area, fighting against headcrabs, zombies, and now Houndeye s, only to become trapped in a large room with a Gargantua , which proceeds to kill everyone there before homing in on the player. The G-Man is seen watching from a window high on the wall. The screen then fades to black, accompanied by the caption: ''Current evaluation: uplink completed. Require further data.'' EXTERNAL LINKS
