Cry of Fear didn't end up clicking for me, even 8 hours in--though in terms of progress, apparently barely halfway through the campaign.

I didn't complete it, so I'm not 100% sure of doing a full review, but some points:
• I'm not a fan of the surprising amount of platforming required versus seemingly half of every prop above waist height having an infinitely tall invisible wall over it.
• I can somewhat understand the "edge" of the story itself, but did the "this game contains scenes" splash screen have to throw in the "may cause heart failure/suicide"? Unless whichever country the devs came from made them put the warning, it feels rather extraneous.
• I think an hour could be trimmed off by having a map, or even just having the existing map images available in the Notes.
