The collision detection is spotty, objects regularly clip through walls, and bugs and crashes are not at all uncommon. вЂњCry Of FearвЂќ runs on the eighteen year old GoldSrc engine, and oh does it ever show. There really is very little in this game that is easy on the eyes, which is a poor decision in a game that reuses so many of its visual elements again and again. Players can expect to see the same three or four posters in every single location that they visit throughout the game. Many of the gameвЂ™s textures are unacceptably low-resolution for a modern game. This doesnвЂ™t seem to be any sort of stylistic choice, but rather just an artifact of the rendering engine used. The graphics might have looked good if the game had come out around 2002, but in 2013 it just looks ugly. вЂњCry Of FearвЂќ is not a visually appealing game. There are a few really nice atmospheric touches, but the gameвЂ™s attempts to be вЂњSilent Hill 2вЂќ just remind the player how much better that game was than вЂњCry Of Fear.вЂќ It does have some good jump-scares though. There is a twist to the story, but you can probably see it coming from a mile away. Also much like the Silent Hill games, вЂњCry Of FearвЂќ attempts to make much of its story and setting into a metaphor for what is going on inside of the characterвЂ™s mind, though Team Psykskallar does not pull this off anywhere near as well as Team Silent. The location switches back and forth between a more realistic depiction of the city and a more hostile, abstracted version in an obvious homage (if youвЂ™re feeling generous) to the Silent Hill games. The player then takes control of Simon as he tries to get home and help this stranger. After that, Simon begins receiving text messages from his mother asking him to come home, as well as from an unknown number begging him for help.

After a series of brief flashes of vague medical imagery, Simon awakens in an alley with no idea of how he got there. The game opens in a city in Sweden, where a young man named Simon is hit by a car. The story in вЂњCry Of FearвЂќ is a bit jumbled.

However, an update to the вЂњHalf-LifeвЂќ rendered the mod incompatible, and so Team Psykskallar decided to turn their mod into a standalone game, which was released in 2013. Welcome back to our ongoing exploration of the free horror games available on Steam this week weвЂ™re going to be looking at one of the biggest and most ambitious of the lot, вЂњCry of Fear.вЂќ This game originated as a mod for вЂњHalf-LifeвЂќ which entered development in 2008 and was finished in 2012.
