About Cold Fear
In a ferocious Arctic storm, distress signals are sent from a mysterious Russian whaler. As leading Coast Guard veteran Tom Hansen, you board to investigate and discover unthinkable horrors lurking beneath the ship's bloodstained decks. Brave dangerous waters: Rocked by huge breakers, you must steady your nerves and aim to evade a watery grave. Keep your bearings: Battle against increasingly mutated enemies in treacherous, unstable environments. Unleash a torrent of weapons: Create fatal traps and use shotguns, flame throwers, or any object you can find to survive.
