Trivia
This game is included with the purchase of Half-Life 2. It serves as a single-level tech demo, mainly to demonstrate High Dynamic Range (HDR) lighting, with commentary. Despite being a tech demo, it has a self-contained story of its own that is non-canon to the Half-Life series.

Goofs
While he looks for his gate key, the fisherman says "Got the key, right here..." and then "There we go!", but the game subtitles say "Got the key, right here... somewhere..." The fisherman never says "somewhere".

Quotes
[first lines]
The Fisherman: [upon seeing Gordon for the first time] Hey! You there! Wait a minute now... aren't you...? Ah, you are! You're that scientist chap - Friedman, Fishman - am I right? You must be here to take on the Combine. Not sure what one man can do, but... no other reason to visit St. Olga at a time like this. I'll take you to where they made their base - or as far as I can, at any rate.

Good

Originally planned as a section of the Highway 17 chapter of Half-Life 2, Lost Coast turned out to be a playable tech showcase that showcases the addition of HDR dynamic lighting to the Source engine.

20 minutes of gunfights, and the battle with the boss (helicopter) and the water kills you, stumbled, died, on hard, 20 minutes turn into 30) And when you get a taste and start speedrunning a little (3 passage, you already fit in 2 minutes) The game seems to be created for speedruns) And so the norms of a techno demo with comments from the developers and GABIN himself) What kind of music is in the church mmm)
