About Cold Fear™

✦ AI summary

Board a blood-soaked Russian whaler in the Arctic to uncover cosmic horrors while battling mutated creatures across storm-tossed, collapsing environments. Survive through creative combat using improvised weapons, environmental traps, and dynamic physics as the ship itself becomes as deadly as the monsters hunting you.

In a ferocious Arctic storm, distress signals are sent from a mysterious Russian whaler. As leading Coast Guard veteran Tom Hansen, you board to investigate — and discover unthinkable horrors lurking beneath the ship's bloodstained decks.
  • Brave dangerous waters: Rocked by huge breakers, you must steady your nerves — and aim — to evade a watery grave.
  • Keep your bearings: Battle against increasingly mutated enemies in treacherous, unstable environments.
  • Unleash a torrent of weapons: Create fatal traps and use shotguns, flame throwers, or any object you can find to survive.

Used to watch my dad play it years back, now i got myself to play it, its amazing game with fantastic atmosphere, just u on abandoned ship in the eye of the storm and a ton of unfriendly monsters. The weather effects and the movements of the whole ship are just astonishing for its time. Such a gem from the peak gaming era where games use to be creative and have a soul. <3

Works suspiciously well on modern hardware/Windows 11 but doesn't support resolutions higher than 1600x1200 without some slight tweaks

This game was a solid B, and it would have sold much better...if it wasn't released two months after the original Resident Evil 4. It does have it's moments, and it's share of references to other media...overall it was enjoyable. It was basically The Thing, on a boat/tanker. A remake would be welcomed.

Please bring this back to Steam or remake/remaster it or something! This game needs to be fixed on PC and it would be nice to have achievements too. Maybe one day it will be playable on modern systems. Negative review until they fix it.
