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.

- Unleash a torrent of weapons: Create fatal traps and use shotguns, flamethrowers, or any object you can find to survive.

Going in blind, and...
I think I heard of this game like twice in the 2000's and never looked into it. Going into this with no expectations or foreknowledge has been a generally favorable experience so far, some expected jank but also some utterly unique physics systems at work. Now that reviews can be updated I can come back and edit this to be more informative later, but in the meantime I felt it prudent to warn others as uninitiated as myself: Check all the keybinds before starting a game, and maybe do some remapping. Save points are insofar rare, far between, and single-use only, there are no tutorial prompts for controls, GOG does not provide a manual (in fact if there ever was one for the PC release it seems to be lost media), and the options menu is inaccessible ingame. How do you sprint? Spacebar. How do you reload? RMB + F. Melee is RMB+E. Yyyeah. Don't get caught out like I did and have to spend 10 minutes trying literally every key and key+mouse combo to figure things out. I know there's controller support, but it feels horrendous, like it's using some Joy2Key wrapper.
