The Simon controlled throughout the game is a depiction of the Real Simon who combats the trauma of his mind. At this point the player realizes that the events in Cry of Fear are nothing more than a metaphor of Simon's book therapy. If Carcass was killed and the doctor was given the gun, Simon finishes his book and prepares to commit suicide, but he is interrupted by an evil counterpart, Book Simon, who opens the door of his apartment and disappears. The doctor tells Simon that the medication will not help him by itself, and recommends that Simon try a cognitive therapy, asking him to write a book about his feelings and anxiety. He then has a flashback of the doctor talking to Simon (who is confined to a wheelchair as a result of the accident). If given the gun, the doctor turns on Simon and the two of them fight, with Simon emerging victorious. The player is given the option to choose whether or not to fight and kill Carcass, as well as whether or not to help the doctor by giving him a gun. Along the way, he meets a cryptic and violent doctor who says he can't trust Simon, and a childhood friend and love interest named Sophie, who commits suicide at the will of a creature named Carcass. He also receives flashbacks telling the story of what happened after the accident, from the police response to the resulting hospital stay. Much of his time is spent exploring and fighting off crazed, deformed humanoid creatures. The story begins in a dark and gloomy city in Sweden, with Simon waking up in an alley after being struck by a car while trying to help a wounded man. PlotД¬ry of Fear 's story spans seven to eight chapters, depending on the player's actions. Confusion due to Valve regarding Cry of Fear 's status as freeware caused the game to be delayed until April 25, 2013.

This update made several Half-Life mods, including Cry of Fear, incompatible with the base game. Some days before Cry of Fear 's anniversary, Valve released a Half-Life update for Linux compatibility, making changes in the folders and engine. Stamina is consumed through strenuous actions such as running and jumping, and can be recovered by resting or the use of morphine syringes. Health is recovered by the use of morphine syringes, which can blur the player's vision if overused. Item combination is also possible from the inventory screen. Another unique mechanic is the ability to dual-wield inventory items, allowing the use of two weapons at a time, or one weapon and a light source. Д¬ry of Fear features many unique mechanics, such as the limited inventory system, which allows the player to carry only 6 items at a time and does not pause the game while the inventory screen is open.

The game switches between normal gameplay levels representing the city and surrounding areas, and 'nightmare' levels, similar to those found in the Silent Hill series of games. The player must navigate the city solving puzzles and fighting monsters to progress.

The player controls Simon Henriksson, a 19вЂ‘yearвЂ‘old who wakes up in an alley shortly after being hit by a car. Changing the renderer allowed the developers to bypass some older limits and add new engine effects such as texture bump mapping, specular reflection and 3D skyboxes. At its beginning, Cry of Fear used the standard Half-Life renderer which was later replaced by one from Paranoia, another popular Half-Life modification. The inventory system was also reduced from 12 slots to 6. This was later changed to illuminate the area in front of the player.

For example, the phone's flashlight was initially made to illuminate an area around the player. During the 4В years of development of Cry of Fear, many ideas were scrapped, while others were improved. The mod was delayed several times due to time limitations before being released in 2012.
