It will ask you if you want to "Launch Application", that application being Steam. - The game was originally supposed to be an April Fools' Day joke in which Gabe Newell would announce that the release date for Half-Life 2 had been moved up further, albeit with some parts cut out.[2]
- The game was taken off Steam in February 2008 because the company that had made it went bankrupt.
