The voice acting is great. And I love story-driven games. But thus far, this is one big 'where the hell am I supposed to go?' interspersed with really eerie audio. I HATE having to turn noclip on just to find out I missed a really well-hidden ladder.

Also it's after midnight here, the lights are off, volume up and surround sound on.
I'm more than a little freaked.
I played about 20 minutes tonight, and I was primarily shocked by the quality of the voice acting. Few things in a game drive me away more quickly than bad voice acting, regardless of the story or the graphics.
Bobby Miller, I dragged the Korsakovia folder into SourceMods, just like I do with other Mods. They all work. When I open up steam (I've deleted the registry and updated multiple times and it still won't work), and click Korsakovia and launch the game, it says that Steam is too busy to handle my request and it won't open up. I've tried reinstalling Korsakovia as well.
Hmm... I think I know what I'll be playing once I beat Assassin's Creed now. If this freaks me out so bad that I grab a crowbar, lock myself in my bathroom and refuse to come out, I'm blaming you Lynx.
I normally don't respond well to horror movies or games. They bore me, they rarely get me beyond the occasional "SURPRISE!" gimmick, and I'd simply rather not waste my time... Korsakovia, on the other hand. Delicious.
It is seriously impressive the fear and tension they've created with Korsakovia.
This kind of indie development should be making waves in the industry. This work is absolutely awesome.
Dillmeister....
Hmm.. My only other thought would be to totally re-install Steam, but that's a bit too much of a hassle for just one mod. Maybe ask around the official steam forums for similar situations?
I'm out of ideas without some extensive searching of the web. Sorry I couldn't be more help...
If you come across a solution, please share it with us. This is very intriguing to me.
Another solution might be checking your free harddrive space. I´ve had the same problem, but not with this mod. My HDD was clogged, so Steam refused to start the game. Since this mod uses assets from Episode 2, i would recommend at least 3 gigs of free space on your HDD. Defragmentation lowers the level loading times, obviously...
Dillmeister! Korsakovia requires HL2 episode 2.
If U have it on your PC,place Korsakovia folder in the half-life 2 episode 2 directory,rename korsakovia folder to something short (like "KK") .
creat a shortcut of hl2,open shortcut's properties and in the "target" type " -steam -game KK ".
It looks like this for me: " "H:\Games\Half-Life 2 Episode Two\half-life 2 episode two\hl2.exe" -steam -game KK " (works 100%)
As of 2013, all the above installation information for Korsakovia is wrong.
To install Korsakovia, upzip the Korsakovia folder into your Steam Software Development Kit (SDK) 2007 folder. By default the filepath is something like "C:\Steam\SteamApps\YOURUSERNAME\source sdk base 2007". Now *manually* create a shortcut to the hl2.exe found in the SDK 2007 folder (Note: tweaking the launch options via Steam and creating a Steam-created shortcut won't work). Open your shortcut's properties. In the "target" field type: -steam -game Korsakovia. Use that shortcut to launch the game.

Can't wait to come back to this later.
Remove the file clientregistry.blob in the directory /Steam/
There's a big archive on the steampowered forums that details what to do in this situation, found here:
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=5483-YUFN-0521
Try that out.
Thanks, anyways!

It's a stretch... I need to keep thinking.

+ I recommend U to try out "Half-Life 2-Riot Act" & "Nightmare house 2" ,they're great.
