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.
The best horror game I have ever played, period. The fact that this started out as a mod for the original Half-Life is almost unbelievable. Visuals may not be top-notch when compared to modern AAA titles, but for the engine, the price (none!) and the fact that it was independently developed, this game is phenomenal. Incredible atmosphere, a small arsenal of weaponry, grotesque adversaries and hours and hours of game time come together to create a terrifying psychological horror story. It's frightening, disturbing, harrowing and a game you will never forget. Exemplary!
