You wake up in a dark alley, not knowing anything. What has happened anyway? You struggle after the truth and answers. Answers you want to know in the darkness and fear, which makes your heartbeat race like violent blows against your head. Where do "they" come from? What has happened? Are you just turning insane? The time is up; you can't stay there reading your smses forever. It's time to head out and find the answers. Cry of Fear is a singleplayer modification of Half-Life 1 which brings you the horror you've always been afraid of. It's a total conversion of Half-Life 1, which means it uses NO Half-Life 1 content or other peoples' files. It's all made exclusively by the developers. It also uses new gaming styles that you will rarely find in Half-Life mods, such as advanced cutscenes and other stuff that will be revealed at a later date.
Very old, dated game design.
The levels are extremely linear. Item placement is just blatantly bad. Who keeps ammunition clips on their front porch anyway? Where do the painkiller syringes come from? Why are the Swedish cops armed with American weapons?
Not scary, since everything is just based on jump scares.
Pacing is jerky.
Good looking weapon and item models. Good looking cop player models.
The monsters look low-red and sub-par.
