Half-Life: Alyx but the Gnome is TOO AWARE (ACT 1: PART 1)

ACT 1: PART 2 is OUT NOW! -    • Half-Life: Alyx but the Gnome is TOO ...  
On June 1st, 2021, twitch streamer 'wayneradiotv' was linked to a workshop page for a newly uploaded mod for Half-Life: Alyx VR. A mod that would "breathe life" into Gnome Chompski. He installed it, hoping to make the stream of his "gnome run" more interesting. He was not aware of the myth, but that didn't matter anymore. The following footage is documentation of the "Gnome Edition's" existence and what its discovery unleashed into the world.

A "gnome run" is a phenomenon that exists within a handful of Valve titles. Unlike a normal playthrough, the player must collect a small garden gnome at the start of the run, referred to as "Gnome Chompski", and carry him to the end of the game. This run can be completed in Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Left 4 Dead 2, and Half-Life: Alyx. 1.5% of Alyx players have successfully completed a "gnome run", granting them the achievement "Gnome Vault of My Own".

In an interview shortly after Half-Life: Alyx's SDK release in 2020, Gabe Newell requested that the modding community avoid tampering with files pertaining to the "gnome run" claiming that "certain modifications may make completing the challenge next to impossible, and render the achievement unobtainable". As players speculated on his words, rumors sprung forth that there is a special version of the "gnome run" that can only be accessed via the modification of said files. Exactly what must be done to the game to access this "Gnome Edition" of Half-Life: Alyx is not known.

Some tried to find the truth of the "Gnome Edition", but all documented attempts led to dead ends or bricked games. The "Gnome Edition" was dismissed as mere myth hyped up by overzealous fans.

It wasn't a myth.
