About This Game

Cry of Fear is a psychological single-player and co-op horror game set in a deserted town filled with horrific creatures and nightmarish delusions. You play as a young man desperately searching for answers in the cold Scandinavian night, finding his way through the city as he slowly descends into madness. With a strong emphasis on cinematic experience, immersion and lateral thinking, players will be taken on a nightmare rollercoaster-ride through the grim streets of Fäversholm and beyond. Not everything is as it seems...

Cry of Fear originally started out as a Half-Life 1 modification, set in the same vein as the classic survival horror games of old. 4 years in the making and picking up several modding awards on the way, it is now a free, standalone game for anyone to enjoy. Beware though, it's not for the faint of heart.

Key Features:

  • Huge single-player campaign with over 8 hours of gameplay
  • Multiple endings and over 20 different unlockables to keep you playing
  • Full length co-op campaign with up to 4 players
  • Strong modding support with 12 custom campaigns and examples included, with requests from modding community listened to and implemented
  • Terrifying and unforgettable atmosphere
  • 24 different and unique weapons to choose from
  • Unlockable extra campaign after beating single-player
  • Original soundtrack comprises over 5 hours of haunting, melodic music

I think I would play this one again for sure. It's a creepy free Horror Game. But be careful if you are weak against horror. I have to say, it's an awesome Game and it's for free. So I can't make bad Review to that. It's not brilliant, but it's good against other free horror Games on Steam. Awesome job. Can't wait to wet my trousers very soon. XD

In theme this is a great game and is able to give off a great atmosphere. Clearly inspred from silent hill, which is always good, in fact going deeper into it It, it gets better, but the start of the game isn't great, the sp00ky jumpscare at the start can give a bad impression. The combat? Its really not that good either, its melee combat is preety terrible and its placement of enemies really makes it look confused, it wanting to be a SH esc game, or a dead space game, though for the atmosphere its amazing and I'd suggest trying it out for that.

An incredibly unique game with tons of fun especially with friends, fortunately its free so why not have a play at it. But be warned you will rage quite often still fun though. I beat it so there's proof that its not impossible :D

This game should be a series. It has the potential of being a "Triple A" title. Heart pounding gameplay, Scary monsters at every turn and most of all it seriously messes with your head. This is Silent Hill's indie brother in-law.

Unless you love ear rape and enemys around most corners this games kinda sucks (i know its old but still) It Uses every bad trick in the book to "Scare" you some listed below: Suprise insta kills EVERY enemy screechs at you All enemys are bullet Sponges Enemy Spawn at your spawn And many Pitfall traps If you enjoy all of those with little to no story you will love it.

1 hour to get it to work, then it worked, crashed on first loading screen. Unclear vague story and no context on the reasons for what is happening. Clunky and terrible

So this game said it would give me depression. I mean to be fair after seeing all the shit that was broken in this game and the "scary atmosphere" I think I did develop a little bit of depression, depression from the fact that I played this potato of a game.

This game is simply amazing. Lots of hours of single-player content, its free, and awesome multiplayer maps. Not to mention the countless single player custom maps and game that comes with it. I cannot recommed this game enough, definitely give it a try. Won't cost you a cent.

It is such a good horror game itself, and best of all it's free! I do wish the Source version itself wasn't discontinued, and I would gladly purchase it if it was ever released
