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.
A cinematic trailer made by Arvuti, one of the mappers for this community campaign. It will be released this thursday! Get ready for it!

I made a map and beta tested the whole thing and I must say this:
You guys will LOVE this.
Of course we will! AoM with CoF? I just can expect insane epicness!
Looks awesome. Hope it won't be entirely made out of cheap screamers and jump scares.
It's much better than the last one. Also there is only one real sawrunner.
but I like jump scares...
Ive played quite a bit to it. I'm at the AoM part and it is almost like the Cof Campaign. And yes, there are poop your pants jumpscares, the good ones, the ones that can hurt you ;) have fun.
"It will be released this thursday! Get ready for it!"
Preparing to be unable to sleep for the next week or so after this Thursday then o_0
There is only one word that can describe this, and it is:
AWESOME!
This trailer was a lot better, and I like the humour at the end. ^__^
Looking forward to this.
this.. is gonna be so awesome!
Total, mindfuck.
I'm kinda excited to see what this CS contains, the title and tone makes it seem like it might be more about Simon's descent into madness, and I can imagine that being pretty cool from both gameplay and narrative standpoints.
In the mod itself it seemed more like Simon was going from bad to worse, rather than from good to bad, so I'd really love to learn more about the character personalities and dynamics prior to the events of Cry of Fear, like what happened to Simon and Sophie.
It's an major improvement since the last collaboration, but still it is mostly a collaction of random maps strung together.
Hmm, okay. That's cool, but I'd love to see more narrative stuff. It might be cool to get writers from the community on board for future collaborations too; if you had good maps a a cohesive story it could be amazing.
I write a little bit, and I've written horror before (although not modern stuff, but I'm reasonably adaptable), for example this one I did for fun, trying to embrace a vaguely Dickensian style; Gazornonplat.deviantart.com)
I'm sure there are other writers in the community too who'd be only too willing to contribute to something like that.
It's not that we're lacking good story ideas, but as we were talking about it, I don't know how much people would like taking assignments. They want complete creative freedom. We'll just have to wait for some more solo campaigns for complete stories.
The closest thing to a complete storyline I've seen has been my campaign, The Hole, which can be dowloaded on the forums and the final version will be released with 1.5.
Oh, I didn't mean any disrespect with regards to the ideas already out there, it's just that map making and writing are very different disciplines, and if things could be organised in a way that suited people it could be a great way to pull more talent from the community. Perhaps people would submit stories and then mappers could vote on them and the best would be made into a campaign, I can imagine something like that working.
I'll keep an eye out for that. Story and thematics are always the things I look most closely at in games, so anything that adds some more exposition to the Cry of Fear universe is awesome.
awesome as ever :joebiden:
The only thing I could say was "OH MY F*#$KING JESUS"
And spam the trailer on as many facebook pages as I could remember.
******* Afraid of Monsters in my Cry of Fear.
Today might be my last day on internet, take a look in my blog, I'm writting down the diary I was writing on my tumblr..
Well Biden at the beginning had me loling and replaying the whole video just to make sure i was not seeing things.
Cant wait today is the day!!!!!!!! Gonna be playing it like a baws!!! :D
