Cold Fear
Description
Tom Hansen is just another guy in the U.S. Coast Guard when his crew receives a mysterious order to undertake a hazardous rescue mission in the teeth of a winter storm. As the waves surge higher, Tom and his crewmates find the vessel, an abandoned Russian whaling ship.
They board it, but discover that the ship has only been abandoned by human life. Something else is on board, something deadly, and soon Hansen is the only one left who can stop it.
Joining forces with the only other survivor, Hansen must battle the inhuman menace and seek out its very heart for a confrontation that could have consequences for all of humanity.

All that changes when his vessel receives an order to rescue an abandoned whaling ship during a raging storm. What he finds there will reawaken the dying embers of his spirit, if it doesn't kill him first.

I never thought I'd see this game again.
... much less on PC... was it on PC?? Gee, I thought it would never leave the PS2, like, ahem, Bloodborne will never leave the PS4, ahem anyways I want a Resident Evil 4, but more like The Thing and with classic Resident Evil controls... well, here it is, buy it. It's a classic B-game (like the movies). Think of it like... you want to see George.a.Romero's Night of the Living Dead ... but you end up with the Return of the Living Dead. It's not the same, but it delivers what it promises... and even more Great, GOG, great job... when are you going to take a chance on Parasite Eve and Parasite Eve II? We're counting on you.

Cold Fear :)
Cold Fear, despite its appearance as a TPS Resident Evil 4-like game, is a genuine survival-horror experience.GOG's tweaks are a welcome improvement to the game.

Cold Fear: A Stormy Little Horror Gem
Cold Fear is a fun, creepy little adventure with great stormy ship vibes. Its short, atmospheric, and surprisingly immersive, the kind of game that pulls you in and keeps you hooked the whole way through.
