This is one of my favorite video games of all time. I have replayed this game about 10 times, and I enjoy every playthrough as if it were my first. Cry of Fear gives full delivery about a Swedish man who goes through life with trauma, including his anxiety and depression which makes his journey a living hell. Ronnberg made a beautifully sorrow soundtrack to go with it as well, which is always nice to listen to. the story is amazing and it tells through Simon's journey of trying to return home after waking up from a car crash, which paralyzed his legs. The inventory isn't too complex and is simplistic and realistic, along with the reloading system. The few characters you meet in the game take effect on Simon and his previous years. The puzzles are done well and the level design is based on Ronnberg's town as well (which he took pictures in his time of development and modeled the town after the photos he took). this game is nice, short, depressing, and an amazing experience overall.
