Gvarados' Garage Master, SadlyItsBradley's Crash Course, and Manello's horde defense map XenThug currently sit at the top of the Workshop's most popular list. that will surely get more terrifying as its creator continues tinkering with it.įor those craving mods with a bit more substance, there are a few early stand-outs. A few releases advertise the inclusion of a working crowbar someone has already made some lightsabers to play around with there's a version of the hallway from P.T. Of course, in these early days of mod support there are some other emerging trends and gimmicks. As I wrote this piece, one of them uploaded 'Infinity Piano in Space,' a mod which I don't think I'll be installing for fear of having my computer combust under the strain of trying to render all that ivory and wood.

People have also made a green screen piano room and an eerie room where you can play piano for a group of silent, uninterested NPCs. A simple, no frills Piano Player's Room by creator IK72 was one of the first mods released on the Steam Workshop. Since Valve included all of Half-Life: Alyx's maps with the release of the mod tools, along with all their pre-built interactive components, players no longer need to load up the hotel lobby map that the piano's in.
