As TachyonTele suggested, you may want to play or read into Half Life Alyx. Time travel got involved.

I’ve heard there are mods to play it on a flat screen. Obvs you’d lose a lot of the experience, but that would be a way to get the story.

I watched a story recap on yt.

If possible, I recommend giving Alyx a go, even if you have to borrow a headset, visit a friend, arcade, ect.

Not an option for everyone of course, Alyx aside VR is fun and while the entry requirements are getting lower it's still a leap.

Valve will probably summarise the main story change in HL3, which will be a very WTF moment that's kinda on brand with the scenario.
