Half Life 2: Dominion

Plaza Square is the central hub of City 23, encircled by administrative buildings and dominated by towering propaganda screens looping Administrator Richter’s announcements and “loyalty reminders.” Citizens gather here for mandatory addresses and Combine celebrations. The perimeter hosts regime-approved shops run by loyalists, selling prepared foods, sanctioned entertainment devices, and essentials—luxuries available to those with enough credits. At the center, the Ration Station distributes synthetic protein packs and purified water twice daily, often drawing long lines. Civil Protection maintains a strong presence, randomly checking IDs and monitoring conversations. Scanner drones sweep overhead, while fixed cameras track every movement. Benches and marked waiting zones permit tightly controlled social interaction under constant watch.
