As a supporter of Indie games, I keep updated with the new releases of horror indie games. In February, the release of Cry of Fear was highly regarded as one of the best horror indie games released this year. It took me a while to actually get around to playing it and all I can say is that I regret not playing sooner. The game itself is a Half-Life 1 mod but the story of the game is actually quite interesting. You play as Simon who wakes up in a dark alley, knowing nothing of his whereabouts or what has happened recently. However, as he begins exploring his environment he encounters monsters that represents the darkness and fear that follows him. Therefore, you get a mix of horror and a psychological thriller all in one package. The basic controls of the game is actually quite simple, however, the inventory can get tricky but eventually you get used to it has you have quick select, you pockets, and your bag as your inventory slots. The monsters in the game are quite grotesque looking but represent different fears surprisingly. In order to defeat these enemies you utilize melee weapons and arsenal. You get an array of knives and guns, for example, you have semi-automatic weapons, automatic weapons, handguns, shotguns, and sniper rifles to help you defeat enemies. The game also utilizes puzzles as well. In some instances, you have to find items in order to make gates or equipment work and find keycards to access buildings in order to progress. However, as a person who loves a good story, the game accomplishes this aspect very well. Some parts of the story are confusing but it allows the player to become more involved in the story. Lastly, the graphics (especially for a Half-Life 1 mod) aren't that bad, of course there is pixelization but it’s tastefully done. In conclusion, I recommend this game to anyone who likes a good story and likes defeat monsters. If you've played Afraid of Monsters than I highly recommend this game.
