You're putting the freaks out of their misery, and you've also made yourself feel better about the quantity of stupidity in the world you live in.ĭarkworks' survival horror/action game Cold Fear follows my (insane) logic, putting you in the role of an ex soldier Tom Hansen, now a member of the US Coast Guard. So from that point of view, in the game, it's not really a crime spilling out their brains, or whatever it is that moves them. The thing with survival horror games is that they present humans in what I think is their true light - as senseless, inarticulate beasts with only enough brains to walk, eat, and kill others. Cold Fear is the sophomore release by Darkworks, whose first published game was Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare (2001), the fourth title in the genre-founding Alone in the Dark series.
It turns out that the ship has not been abandoned - yet many of those who remain on board have not remained completely human. Coast Guard officer, players set out to investigate the ship and step aboard a high-seas nightmare. The game's story begins far offshore in the Bering Sea, on an apparently abandoned Russian whaler.
Cold Fear is a survival-horror game with an emphasis on action, featuring both adventure-style puzzle solving and third-person shooting.
