Cold Fear is a survival-horror game with an emphasis on action, featuring both adventure-style puzzle-solving and first-person shooting. The game's story begins far offshore in the Bering Sea, on an apparently abandoned Russian whaler. In the role of a U.S. Coast Guard officer, players set out to investigate the ship and step aboard a high-seas nightmare. It turns out that the ship has not been abandoned -- yet many of those who remain on board have not remained completely human. Cold Fear is the sophomore release by Darkworks, whose first published game was Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare (2001), the fourth title in the genre-founding Alone in the Dark series.
