Cry of Fear - Free on Steam

Just noticed that this is free on Steam, good reviews as well bit of an old game but couldn't find it posted here.


Info added by

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.

    Yeah, every now and then the world goes mad and a mod/free game gets posted here as a deal, but they often make me happy as I've usually not heard of them...

    Think the last time I was introduced to Entropy: Zero.

    They also give me another opportunity to say:

    *Everyone that owns a copy of Skyrim SE on Steam should totally download Enderal, it's the best RPG I've played in the last ten years (and I've recently finished Baldurs Gate 3).*

    Heat added OP.

    Worth a try even if it turns out to be rubbish you can't complain if it's free. Thanks for sharing
