Brings what grabs you about F.E.A.R.: dread and tension, good gunplay as well as a dark atmosphere.

A grim first-person shooter set on a Mars research base where hell breaks loose. Cramped, pitch-black corridors, jump scares and scarce resources make it feel more like survival horror than the fast-paced classic Doom.
