    Prepare for some serious shivers down your spine as Ubisoft's first foray into the world of
    action horror heads out onto the icy waters.


    Set aboard a mysterious drifting whaling ship, Cold Fear combines elements of both the
    action and horror genres to create an intense, nerve-shredding experience that'll have you
    quaking in your boots. Venture nervously down dirty, rust-ridden corridors with shocking
    surprises lurking around every corner, and encounter enemies of both the human and
    'other' varieties in this tension-filled action horror.

    You play as Tom Hansen, a US lifeguard sent to board a drifting Russian whaling ship in
    the Bering Sea. Stranded on the constantly rocking ship, Hansen quickly discovers that
    something evil and unnatural is afoot onboard - and we're not talking about whaling.
    Exploring the shifting, volatile environment of the ship (and, later on, an oil rig), the plucky
    lifeguard faces myriad threats from both human enemies and less familiar adversaries.

    With fast and furious weapons combat (Hansen's arsenal includes a laser-sighted pistol
    and semi-automatic), foreboding, treacherous environments and a high shock factor
    throughout, Cold Fear is not recommended for players of a nervous disposition.

    • Action horror from Darkworks, creators of Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare


    • Intense weapons combat in fully interactive environments


    • Dramatic, tension-filled gameplay with an element of the unexpected

Back of Keep Case (PC, UK):
    Embark on a Voyage of No Return
    You are Tom Hansen, a US Coast Guard, investigating a distress call from a large Russian whaler in the middle of the Bering Sea. A ferocious storm descends and a watery gateway to hell opens, as the horror lurking beneath the ship's bloodstained decks rises.

    From a sinister whaler infested by mutated & clever enemies to a hostile oil rig, there will be no safe place.

    Unleash lethal weapons: battle with shotguns, flame throwers... or any object on hand to destroy your evolving foes.

    Keep your bearings in treacherous waters: face huge breakers, driving rain and stormy winds that constantly rock the ship.

    Blast your enemies: spill their blood with cool finishing moves!
