Introduction
I have been looking for games that capture the same feel as Cry of Fear - whether it is the visual style, the unique atmosphere, etc. After playing several titles that reminded me of it in different ways, I decided to put together a list for other Cry of Fear fans. In this guide, I will show games with a similar vibe to help others discover similar experiences.
Game Types
Type 1: It is a psychological horror where you try to survive. Monsters come out of everywhere at any moment. You slaughter monsters. The mechanics are the same as Cry of Fear. It feels like you are playing Cry of Fear.
Type 2: It is a psychological horror where you try to survive. Enemies come out of everywhere at any moment. You slaughter enemies. The main character may be stronger than Cry of Fear.
Type 3: Although it does not feel like Cry of Fear in terms of gameplay, it is similar. The camera angle is different. It is a psychological horror where you try to survive.

Added Silent Hill. Thank you. Also thanks for informing how to obtain them.
Captain Save-a-Hoe ♡ 23 Feb, 2024 @ 10:57am 
Not adding Silent Hill, the game that inspired the devs themselves, it's crazy. It is not avaiable on steam sure, but SH2 and SH3 can be obtained legally for free from the "MyAbandonware" website (even tho it's SH1 what inspired them, avaiable with emulator only)
Outsider One  [author] 19 Feb, 2024 @ 1:59am 
Added Total Chaos. Thank you.
