Cry of Fear is a 2012 indie survival horror video game developed and published by Team Psykskallar. It is derived from a mod for the video game Half-Life developed by the same team a year prior. Cry of Fear follows the story of Simon Henriksson, a 19-year-old Swedish male suffering from depression and anxiety, exploring the city of Stockholm.
Combining elements of survival horror and first-person shooter mechanics, Cry of Fear challenges players to navigate through a haunting urban environment filled with monsters and unsettling occurrences. The story explores themes of mental illness and trauma. The game was praised for its atmospheric tension, narrative, and innovative use of the Half-Life engine. Cry of Fear received the Mod DB awards for Best Single Player Game of the Year and the Community Award.
