Cry of Fear has a very special place in my life. Since the early age I've been showing signs of depression, and as I grew older, it became worse. A lot worse, to the point that at the age of 22 I tried to kill myself, jumping out of my window. Sometime before it happened, I found the Cry of Fear, and it just hit too close to home. I felt exactly like Simon - alone, depressed, anxious and full of problems. Every time he went through sorrow, pain, stress - I felt it too. And the fact that 3 out of 4 endings in the game lead to the suicide of Simon... yeah, I felt it too. I was listening to the OST every single day, crying and just hoping that tomorrow I won't wake up. It was miserable to say the least. But, the story doesn't end there. I survived the jump - broke my back, legs, arms, basically everything. But I didn't die, and after spending months stuck in bed (I'm almost fully recovered now) I realized - life is worth living. The depression shows its ugly face from time to time, it's not completely gone, but I fight it now, and there's no chance I will come back to that dark place again. I still listen to the OST from time to time. Not to grieve like I used to, but because the music is an absolute work of art, and it reminds me of how strong I am now, of how much I went through to get to where I'm at rn. "I think this is a good time to close this book. It has changed my life forever"

The thing is: I was diagnosed by my psychiatrist firstly with bipolar disorder, but then she changed my diagnosis to borderline personality disorder, and as she said to me there is no way to get rid of, only to ease symptoms with meds and go through therapy to minimize risk of suicide. And sorry for my cringe story, but it feels like there is no way to get out of it. Whats even point to stay living if you are chronically mentally ill? Seems like the real option is only suicide, like Simon did :D Sorry, just wanted to sound off and share. (and yes, this music is so fucking great)

I discovered Cry of Fear during the pandemic. I was 17, and my first love (I'm not with him in a romantic way, but we are really close friend today because we've been through so much together) was home with me, and we played this game together late at night. I remember being really affected by the ambiance of this game, something really touched my soul and maked me feel in a unique way I never felt with anything else. Cry of Fear have a really important place in my life, and I guess I never related so much to a sensation then this strange feeling of struggling to come home in a dark and hopeful city that feel so empty and dangerous. I use to feel exactly like Simon in some of my dreams during this period, stuck somewhere, unable to come in my sweat home in an interminable cold night. But now I have a really different point of view in life, I found something to waking up for and I have a lot of people that I love around me (friends, lover, and family), and I feel very grateful for all the beautiful human experiences I've been able to share with those people. I'm so grateful to always be so close to my first love because he his a really important person to me, and we are so attached to eachoter. Oh, and I also discovered DSBM, witch make me think a lot about this game (especially LifeLover). Anyway, I wich everybody here is doing good, and have found some sense in life. If it's not the case, don't be to rude to yourself and allow yourself to stay in "the abysses" when you don't feel like trying to be happy. I think happiness is going to come anyway, when you least expect it. But don't take this extra step and hurt yourself further than you should be please. Always stay empathic and kind to others people, you don't know what they're going through to. Idk, it was my goofy take of the day (excuses my bad english i'm a frenchie) Love :))

When I was a little kid, I would pass of things as normal. When I grew older I began to realize things that I had been through. I developed PTSD through having to live with my meth head dad for half a year and it was awful. He burned me with a cigarette, called me weak, and he even had drug parties in the same house that I was sleeping in. I believe that is the reason why I absolute despise it when I touch someone I don’t 100% trust. This OST reminds me of some of those traumatic memories, but it gives me motivation; it reminds me how I overcame that. I still suffer from anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I’ve almost attempted suicide, but I stopped myself. I sometimes feel like I am trapped in a haze, a bubble of my own emotions in which I can’t seem to escape. The memories, the people who hurt me, the people I’ve lost, the pain, still hurts me to this day. I sometimes want to cry my eyes out, but I hate crying. I am nonbinary because of the way my dad treated me, I feel like it’s another way to try to relieve that pain of being mocked and teased about being weak and not man enough.

Hey man..I know im kinda late here, but I just wanna tell you that you are strong for going through that and still being here, and im so sorry for what happend to you... Life puts us through a lot of problems and challenges, to test our mental..life will throw you to the floor and make you feel miserable sometimes, thats true... ive had some struggles when I was young aswell... My parents would always be arguing, my dad was too immature to take care of me and sometimes had abusive behaviour when I was younger. One of the few memories I have about one of those abusive interactions was him putting a pillow over my head when I was 6 or so to stop me from crying after he had made my mom cry. My grandparents and my mom's brother used to have a lot of conflict regarding my mom and dad relationship, because she was always delusional trying to make the "perfect family" and never leavijg my dad, going as far as them saying that my mom was dead to them... She attempted $ú|cide twice because of all of that...alongside my dads abusive behaviour... I dont remember much about when I was young, and its probably due to that.. Ive also struggled a lot with mental problems that I didnt know I had, that ive only been recently diagnosed this year... Ive been feeling a lot better now. My parents are divorced, but its not a bad thing. My dad has changed a lot as a person for the better, my grandparents support my mom more than anything, and ive been getting a lot of help from doctors, friends and family.. So yeah, in conclusion, life puts you through a lot of shit...and a lot of people seem to not understand you or not "care" about what you feel, but trust me, theres a lot of people who care about you and love you. Stay strong... I love you 🩷

[@Weird_Doll]

This isn't just a game or just a soundtrack. This is art that connects people in their grief and their existence. This is terror, emotion, silence and a loud scream. It's the depiction of human darkness that drives you crazy and provides comfort at the same time. Because you don't feel alone. This game means emptiness, loneliness and hopelessness and at the same time security and a feeling of "coming home". It is a masterpiece. A feeling, an image, a state. It is so much and so valuable. It is a part of Scarred hearts and lonely souls. It's a hug and a pang from the universe. It's indescribably wonderful, it's living and dying. It's darkness and light. It's perfect.

This music.... It takes me back to 2013 when I finally played this game for the first time. Loved every second of it. Bought the soundtrack and everything. The first song especially, Brandon. It takes me back to those bus rides home, my head against the window, watching the scenery go by.. September, the chill of fall was in the air, the start of the spooky season. A Friday night, no homework, no responsibilities, just a night at home with my family, playing video games and watching a movie with them. A feeling of content, freedom, a feeling of happiness. Feelings I haven't truly felt since those days. If you're struggling and you haven't played this game, or haven't played in a while, give it another go. You'll be surprised about how much it hits, and you may feel a little better after playing it again, like I did. These days I'm colder, sadder, stressed. This music lets me reclaim a glimmer of that time, just for a moment. And it's beautiful. Truly, one of the best games ever made, and it doesn't cost you a dime to experience it.

[@davecartman7363]

It's really wild how much this game inspired me when I was younger. At this point, to me, Cry of Fear is more than just a game. Having met (and even worked with a bit) the creator, Andreas, it's just such a different thing to me. It's not just a game, it's something I hold near and dear to my heart. I'll always remember this game for being there and just helping in making me the person, and developer I am today. I love this mix because I feel like it really accentuates the more ambient and emotional aspects of the game. The parts that aren't about being scary, but about being real, and deeper than just scares. This game is so genius, and I'm so glad to have been able to meet the creator on multiple occasions. Great Guy, Great Team, Great Game.

@@HECU_grunt88 it's a bit silly, but when i decided to play it for the first time, i was on a very low point of my life, i was considering suicide and was struggling with self harm. i liked the game so much that i decided i'd finish this game before finishing my life, haha well, thing is, this game somehow managed to make me realize that what i was doing to myself was messed up. i felt bad for simon, and it was so disturbing. i will never forget what i felt while playing the "..." nightmare sequence. i realized that if i felt so compassionate for that character, someone would feel the same for me if they knew about my sittuation (like my mom, dad, brothers). thats why i put more effort into not hurting myself anymore. the first ending i got was the ending 4. even if simon didnt get the best life as he deserved, he did not shot himself. ik it sounds stupid, but i felt so relieved and decided that i as well would try to keep on living and wait until i was fine once again. whenever i play this game, i forget about my melancholy and everything. also, when i find out the whole game was (major spoiler alert) simon's book, i felt motivated to write again (i always loved writing, but as i was kinda depressed and tired i didnt want to write anymore) i still struggle with those dark thoughts, but cry of fear will always have a special place in my heart. whenever i feel like that terrible state is coming back, i start to play it everyday again. it makes me feel so many different emotions, reminding me that im human, that i still have many other emotions to feel, and maybe in the future create a game as good as cof. or at least discover other amazing games that are worth playing.

[@oceanman9339]

I've been listening to this for a prolonged period of time, probably since it came out, I wouldn't know really. All I really know is that it's been very touchy for me, always matching with my emotions, despite there being not a single lyric, the vibe and sounds bounce in my heart, and make me cry every time I listen to this, "Thoughts" being the one that always makes me break into tears regardless whether I've been listening to this since the start or not. Recently, I was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which was something I always told myself wouldn't happen, or said it as a way to tell me that things could be worse, and that I should try and be happier about my situation. Knowing that I've actually been suffering from PTSD for most of my recent life was rather shocking news, specially to an already depressed 16yro like me, who's struggling with keeping up with school and themselves. PTSD Would explain why I have become to see sleeping so difficult, and why I've always been sleeping with my monitor screen on as a light source in my room, I can't sleep with my back faced against the rest of the room as I look at the wall anymore. It would also explain some of my panic attacks, and why I'm so easy to just burst in tears when listening to certain tracks or seeing certain things. I remember tuning in to this the moment I got home, crying to myself for the rest of the day (I had came home around 4 PM). Normally, there's ways to look after people with PTSD, but as a teen this young like me, who's already traumatized and depressed since 2020, in a country where homosexuality isn't respected at all followed by the fact I'm extremely isolated, struggling socially due to my autism, it becomes extremely difficult considering my parents are already struggling to even keep an eye on me to see if I'm alright from time to time. As well, my country doesn't exactly care much about people's psychological and/or emotional situation, and pretty much all psychologists/therapists are untrustworthy, meaning I'd at most just be given anti-depressants, which is something I already tried and had shown to be absolutely useless. I like listening to these tracks, because they sound familiar, almost as if I know these tunes despite not actually knowing how the song goes, it gives me such a calm yet emotional feeling, almost as if I was safe, with someone or something that I can shed my tears to. It's something I hold dear in my heart, and really appreciate that this exists.

Творческий шедевр... Эта игра для меня, как картина. Её красоту можно и не увидеть, за пеленой страха и испуга... Сюжет, атмосфера! - Вот вся мощь и энергия этой игры. Полёт души, желающей свободы. Желающей жизни, а не существования. Осталось лишь побороть всех своих демонов в голове.

Listening to this is calming. I did enjoy Cry of Fear it did help me get through hard times. Just had to end a friendship of 13 years. It's not the easiest. My friend became a raging alcoholic and I tried to be there for him, but he was too far gone to the point that it wasn't good for me to be his friend anymore. I am still hurting from it. However, I am glad I found this and just take a bit to sit back and just listen to this.

Thanks for making this mix, Cry of Fear's music is so underrated and deserves much more recogniton, it has a very lonely vibe to it which I bloody love, keep up the good work man!

Sorry to hear that. Hope you'll find the love of your life. Waiting for it ain't the easiest thing, but for people like you it'll surely happen. Just be patient and be ready to work hard for something like that, but all the effort would eventually pay for itself.

Потрясающая игра, потрясающая музыка. Эта игра многое показала мне: она показала насколько я могу быть схож с главным героем (ментально), она показала ужас и тьму всей этой одинокой жизни. Звучит глупо, знаю. Мне 18,я уже далеко не тот самый счастливый мальчик, даже наоборот. Гнев, тревога, страх и переживания - я заебался купаться в этом "бассейне". Андреас, спасибо тебе. Спасибо, что ты создал такую шедевральную игру, которая не только пугает, но и открывает глаза..

Damn back in 2019 i was going to take my life with the this soundtrack with pills for anxiety,( i played this Game back in 2013-2014 and i remember the soundtrack so well that i wanted yo be the last thing i wanted to hear) i was at the emergency stairs and at 5am some dude that was doing execises there called the cops and the ambulance and saved me, i didnt want to hear this music till now because i didnt want to remember this episode that i had but damn, now i see it at good eyes and gives me nostalgia but i mean in the good times when i was playing it haha, regards from Chile 🇨🇱

[@danteisontheway]

I love the fact that the music names does make sense with the melody that plays in. Like in "Hate Life", it's morbid and has some soothing guitar in it, showing that Simon's life almost didn't have anything new or even any kind of "movement", and the melancholy that hits in the music shows that due to his depression, it just worsened within time, though he tried sometimes to see some good things on life. The heavy bass that keeps up with the guitar too symbolizes that the bad thoughts would always follow him, no matter what point of view he would be looking at his surroudings. That's at least how i could interpretate the music, as i had the same trouble when i was around 13yo, but i would like to see other POVs of the symbolism this music brings!

[@tombkiller2348]

I love coming back here, to listen to this. It brings me memories of the time when I and my classmate hanged out at the halls. But it also makes sad how things turned out...

[@werrecut]

i love to fall asleep listening to this

[@XxReiyuuxX]

Never played this game before, heard about it from a friend. I watched a play-through and I plan to play for myself someday. I find myself coming back to this OST when I’m down. Brings me comfort because it reminds me of my friend. So glad he introduced me to this wonderful game with an amazing OST.

[@darkiyoo]

trust me and play it yourself, it's a very immersive and beautiful, yet melancholic experience

[@KKilgore]

I’ve been through SA four years ago, and I can’t let it go ever since. I hate to admit I relate to Simon in a lot of ways. Oh God, I never was a bad person. I never wished anyone harm. But fate chose to joke with me. I used to be a motivated kid with a future. Now I am that crippled version of Simon on a wheelchair. I sometimes think maybe in other life, or maybe the afterlife is better.

[@ThomaceKisho]

I can’t possibly claim to imagine how you feel, and I know some random person on KZbin won’t make much of a difference- but you are still capable of making this life better. If fate wants to see you suffer, don’t give it the satisfaction of winning- take control back however you can. It’s not the same for everyone, and as I said, I can’t know how you feel- but I would start by making a routine, making sure that you decide how and when things ought to be done. If you feel like you don’t have enough stuff going on to fill up a routine, start doing things: Even if it’s just a walk, some home exercise, work, or maybe a time to play games- any way in which you can decide the timing of your day is a good step. I will leave it there in case I’m making any assumptions or mistakes with my advice (or maybe I’m boring you)- but whether or not you find it helpful, please don’t give up (generic I know). I don’t want to try to give any more advice when I don’t fully understand your situation- but if you want to talk more, feel free. If not, I understand, and I wish the best for you in every aspect of your life.

Conclusion for me is the most depressing track from Cry of Fear, because it sounds so serene and peaceful yet it's also tied to Simon's suicide.

And here i am, working out with this on my ears, just, perfect. Thanks for putting this together.

[@ghostinadistortion]

"Train station" es un track bastante importante para mi. Refleja tanto, como me siento, como veo mi dia a dia y las pocas ganas que me quedan de seguir viviendo.

[@DraconasTenZHG]

I have a big love-hate relationship with Cry of Fear but more on the love part. It has lots of annoying design choices and mechanics but it's really a great and scary horror game.

[@kalashnikov0e]

Its an indie low cost game from more than 10 years

[@DraconasTenZHG]

@@kalashnikov0e But the things I am talking about are very noticable and easy to fix. The devs would just need to play the game once to see them.

[@voytec448]

most of these things are supposed to make you feel vulnerable on purpose

[@DraconasTenZHG]

@@voytec448 Penumbra 1 did it right. They made a bad combat on purpose which discourage from fighting dogs, it was a last resort thing and it was more of a stun thing rather than kill thing. The main gameplay was stealth horror. Meanwhile Cry of Fear has lots of those things but instead of making them optional it forces them on you. Also when you start dying because of bad design choices, the game stops being scary, defeating the purpose of a horror game. The more times you die in a stupidly hard level, where you are stuck without health or/and ammo - you're gonna remember all the scares and they don't work anymore. Cry of Fear's main goal was to be a horror game resident evil style but because of few moments with bad balancing it turns into Serious Sam on serious difficulty

I'm listening to this while doing my math homework for school late at night just to keep myself and my subconscious away from bringing up anything related to what I'm going through right now, 4 years of chronic depression and even though I've improved in a few aspects, every time I feel that I am closer to drowning. I was suddenly curious about the comments, and it's so nice to read people who went through similar things, people I don't really know, but it still comforts me to know that they followed through.

[@vruss3371]

I’m sorry to hear that. I pray that this gets better and you meet people who know how to love like God loves you. People were created to love each other ❤. Sadly everyone is not perfect and many people don’t know how to love correctly. People nonetheless are drawn to love when they feel true love. There is a saying out there that if you want a friend, be friend, but that message really has to go both ways to be a healthy relationship. Thank you for being brave and sharing this, God loves you, I love you too. I hope to hear that everything gets better for you.
