Cave Story dev’s new game

this is the one day a year when Crossover is like $20, and the current state of Wine and related tooling being so good thanks to the Steam Deck means that it basically takes a (potentially ~10 TFLOP, ie PS5-power) Macbook up to Steam Deck levels of game compatibility with no fussing, plus most of the actual upstream work on Wine is done by them so it’s easily worth supporting

The stormy decks and creaking corridors of Cold Fear are back. This cult survival horror game makes its return to PC, better than ever – newly restored and improved, fully DRM-free and ready for modern systems!

The new GOG release of Cold Fear isn’t just a reappearance on a storefront – it’s a quality re-release with extensive under-the-hood work. The game has been brought up to modern standards with full support for Windows 10 and 11, native widescreen, resolutions up to 4K with high refresh rates, and reliable performance on both dedicated and integrated graphics. All seven language options – English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, and Polish – are included, restoring some localizations previously unavailable on PC.
This new release also modernizes how Cold Fear feels to play, with robust controller support for popular pads, unified button layouts, and full support for wireless play, hotplugging, D-Pads, triggers, and vibration, all based on an updated scheme inspired by the original PlayStation 2 controls.

Multiple long-standing issues have been addressed to make Cold Fear properly playable again: crashes, visual glitches, and broken options have all been resolved; even the title screen music and window responsiveness during video playback have been repaired, resulting in a smoother, more stable experience from launch to credits.

For the full list of improvements, check out the game’s changelog on GOG!

What is Cold Fear? I assume some kind of RE4-inspired horror game on a boat?

Just from the name and setting, I’m getting it mixed up with the Saturn’s Deep Fear lol

This is how everyone thinks of it. I don’t know anyone who has played it, so who can say what it’s really like. But my guess is yeah RE4 on a boat.

Always looked like it could be okay. Glad to see it’s easy to play now. This GOG restoration thing is cool.

My memory of it as a kid was thinking that it’s cool but then you actually have to go inside the ship and you get lost only to realize there’s no map

surprised one of these zero effort carbon copy supermarket sims would have bothered to commission someone to do an animated intro, unless that’s all AI generated.
