''[https://web.archive.org/web/20200115063153/http://www.cry-of-fear.com/ Cry of Fear]'' is a horror [[Half Life]] mod from the same developers who brought you ''[[Afraid of Monsters]]'', released on February 22nd, 2012.
The mod takes place in the capital of [[Sweden]], Stockholm, where something has gone horribly wrong. A depressed teenager named Simon gets hit by a car, and after a nightmare, he finds himself in an alleyway with no idea how he got there - and the only way out filled with abominations.
Line 8:
Its four-player co-op campaign follows four policemen stuck in Simon's nightmare, and it has a [[Gaiden Game]] in the form of Doctor's Story, where Simon's doctor vows to destroy the source of Simon's anguish.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Air Vent Escape]]: Deep in the lower subway.
* [[AKA-47]]: The TMP. The weapon name isn't fake: just wrong.
Line 20:
* [[Bag of Holding]]: As long as at least one of the six slots is free Simon can carry a stone tablet and a ladder.
* [[Bedlam House]]: Mölnberg Mental Hospital outside Stockholm.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Almost everything written in the game world is in Swedish. Posters, products, newspapers. They are all either there to cheer someone up, or they are referring to depression and/or suicides.
* [[Black Comedy]]: The joke ending. {{spoiler|[[Afraid of Monsters|David Leatherhoff]] turns out to be the reason that Simon's legs are unusable... All while still looking blocky and using text with no voice to accompany him, with a slightly flanderized personality ("Sorry man. I'm fucking stoned.").}}
* [[Blade Below the Shoulder]]: The same women who stab themselves in the throat with them have the third kind.
Line 57:
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: An actual gameplay mechanic.
* [[Dummied Out]]: A [[wikipedia:Smith %26 Wesson M76|Smith And Wesson]] can be found in the game files.
* [[Easter Egg]]: The Let's player [[
{{quote|'''Simon:''' Stephano? What the fuck, Pewdiepie?}}
** [[Secret Weapon]]: Also, you can unlock [[Afraid of Monsters|David Leatherhoff's Axe]]
Line 84:
* [[Guide Dang It]]: The park puzzle.
* [[Half the Man He Used To Be]]: The first boss can kill Simon by sawing him in half.
* [[Hellevator]]: In the beginning the pedophile rendered the apartments elevator unusable for everyone without a access code. The children had to bear it and take the stairs, where he would wait and pull them into his apartment. When Simon finally finds the code and take the elevator, it goes down. Deep in the earth it stops, forcing Simon to take the stairs even deeper.
* [[Harder Than Hard]]: Nightmare difficulty.
* [[I'll Kill You!]]: Simon shouts this at {{spoiler|Doctor Purnel}} near the end of the game. {{spoiler|A literal [[Curb Stomp Battle]] ensues.}}
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: The pedophile killer.
* [[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]]: What happens to Simon if he walks too close to the organic, growing [[Eldritch Abomination|abomination]] that sprouted in the middle of Ronald Street.
* [[Impromptu Tracheotomy]]: The women with their limbs replaced with huge metallic spikes commit suicide by stabbing themselves in the throat once they've taken enough damage.
Line 129:
* [[Roar Before Beating]]: Sawrunner loves doing it.
* [[Room Full of Crazy]]: In the pedophile's apartment, there is a room with photos of his various victims all over the walls.
* [[Run or Die]]: Sawrunner is the dangerous madman Simon must flee from during a chase sequence, and one swipe of his chainsaw kills you instantly. Killing Sawrunner is possible, but it requires wasting All ammo and cherry tapping with melee whacks. It is not worth running around without ammunition, and {{spoiler|He´ll just come back again.}}
* [[Save Game Limits]]: In a possible reference to [[Silent Hill]] and the early [[Resident Evil]] games, the player can only save with tape recorders found [[Blatant Item Placement|scattered around the environment.]] On [[Harder Than Hard|Nightmare]] difficulty, the player must find cassette tapes to be able to save.
* [[Scenery Gorn]]
* [[Screaming Woman]]: The {{spoiler|hanging women}} in the Forest. They double as both an environmental hazard and a [[Jump Scare]].

* [[Serial Killer]]: A pedophile who murdered kids.

Line 139:
* [[Skippable Boss]]: {{spoiler|Carcass}}. But if you do, {{spoiler|[[Earn Your Happy Ending|Simon kills Sophie in the ending]]}}.
* [[Sprint Meter]]: Simon can only run for a few seconds. The player can also use stamina from the same meter to increase the accuracy with the hunting rifle.
* [[Stringy
* [[Suicide Attack]]: The babies with their exploding heads will run up to Simon and explode.
** [[Action Bomb]]
Line 153:
* [[Unusable Enemy Equipment]]: The enemies attack Simon with hammers, knifes, scissors, chainsaws, a mace and axes: all of which cannot be gained during gameplay. Of all of them, only the axe is available during a second playthrough.
** The glocks that the only enemies with guns use [[Averted Trope|however]]...
* [["Wake
* [[Waking Up Elsewhere]]: Simon gets hit by a car, and then wakes up in an alley.
* [[White Mask of Doom]]: Some of the more insane enemies wear paper masks, resembling those once worn by Plague Doctors in real life during the bubonic plague. The somewhat less insane Doctor encountered wears a gasmask, which is more gray.
