<span style="color:white; font-weight:bold">Half-Life 2: Episode One</span> is the first in a series of games that reveal the aftermath of {{hl2|1.bold}} and launch a journey beyond [[City 17]]. It focuses on developing [[Alyx Vance|Alyx]] as a character.
 
Consciousness returns. [[Gordon]] and Alyx discover they've somehow escaped both the reactor explosion and the [[G-Man]]'s malevolent grasp. Before they can ponder their miraculous survival, the crippled [[Citadel]] lurches back to life just long enough to initiate a self-destruct sequence. With Alyx at his side, Gordon must flee a city in chaos before the Citadel's final detonation turns City 17 into a toxic, mutant-infested crater.
 
Aside from the story, the game initially runs on {{src06|1.bold}}, which introduced new features such as [[HDR]], [[$phong|Phong shading]], and [[Source_2006#Features|much more]]. The game was later upgraded to {{src09|1}}, then again with {{src13sp|1}}.
