Half-Life: Uplink is a demo version of Valve’s 1998 first-person shooter computer game Half-Life, released on February 12, 1999.

Uplink features many of the common enemies, characters, and weapons from the full game, but unlike the first Half-Life demo and the Half-Life 2 demo, the location and scenario in this demonstration do not appear in Half-Life. The Uplink chapters were cut during Half-Life’s development phase and roughly fit in prior to or during the Lambda Core chapter; they were, however, strongly revised for the demo release. Uplink also includes the same Hazard Course from the full release of Half-Life.

While absent from Steam, Uplink can still be installed if the user has access to the Uplink files from a previous Half-Life install, through several methods:

HL!UL!SL (Formerly SteamLink) is an installer package that installs Uplink as a Steam Half-Life mod.
Uplink Lite contains the same content but must be manually copied into place.
Uplink Addon seamlessly adds the Uplink levels into the game flow of Half-Life itself, along with some minor content additions.

Story

The player takes control of the main character, Gordon Freeman 48 hours after the “containment failure,” and in the Lambda Reactor Complex, according to the caption. The facility that Freeman is in, is under a heavy bombing. He soon meets a scientist and a security guard who wish to enter the Lambda complex and escape, but they cannot open the reactor door until a signal is sent to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC), and the radio antenna must be reconfigured manually. To this end, they enlist Gordon Freeman’s aid. He moves through an area populated by headcrabs, zombies, and vortigaunts with the help of another security guard, and then battles HECU personnel, who are executing scientists. He then moves through a HECU camp, battling many soldiers and a few military turrets. Gordon soon arrives at the building containing the radio antenna and sends a message to the USNRC. After an ambush by HECU personnel busting through the roof and door of the building, Gordon passes through a maze-like area containing numerous radiation leaks, as well as a dying scientist due to radiation poisoning. Gordon also encounters zombies and barnacles, who are killing the last few HECU troops in the building. Freeman climbs out and arrives back at the HECU camp, where more HECU soldiers have arrived, although they are preoccupied with fighting vortigaunts.
