About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

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.

Key Features:

Huge single-player campaign with over 8 hours of gameplay
Multiple endings and over 20 different unlockables to keep you playing
Full length co-op campaign with up to 4 players
Strong modding support with 12 custom campaigns and examples included, with requests from modding community listened to and implemented
Terrifying and unforgettable atmosphere
24 different and unique weapons to choose from
Unlockable extra campaign after beating single-player
Original soundtrack comprises over 5 hours of haunting, melodic music
