   • The rest of the hlvrai cast but they're kind of incidental!
   • this is a game so we may be perfectly clear gordons just in character
   • Existentialism
   • Normal half life gameplay i assure you (lying)
   • felix is here but the dick joke level is shockingly minimal

   Summary

   Felix Freeman is both brother and bother to Gordon Freeman. Perhaps unfortunately, Gordon Freeman is a vessel through which a particular man now plays a game, and has no idea who Felix is.
