Ambient & Melancholic Cry of Fear music (w/ Wind & Rain Ambience) 

Very nostalgic hearing this, thank you for putting it together /Andreas

no one will ever understand (imagine even) how much i love cry of fear and how it pretty much saved my life, i hope i will love this game forever

Dark City just hits soooo different, seriously captures how loneliness feels to a painful degree

Cry of Fear has a very special place in my life. Since the early age I've been showing signs of depression, and as I grew older, it became worse. A lot worse, to the point that at the age of 22 I tried to kill myself, jumping out of my window. Sometime before it happened, I found the Cry of Fear, and it just hit too close to home. I felt exactly like Simon - alone, depressed, anxious and full of problems. Every time he went through sorrow, pain, stress - I felt it too. And the fact that 3 out of 4 endings in the game lead to the suicide of Simon... yeah, I felt it too. I was listening to the OST every single day, crying and just hoping that tomorrow I won't wake up. It was miserable to say the least. But, the story doesn't end there. I survived the jump - broke my back, legs, arms, basically everything. But I didn't die, and after spending months stuck in bed (I'm almost fully recovered now) I realized - life is worth living. The depression shows its ugly face from time to time, it's not completely gone, but I fight it now, and there's no chance I will come back to that dark place again. I still listen to the OST from time to time. Not to grieve like I used to, but because the music is an absolute work of art, and it reminds me of how strong I am now, of how much I went through to get to where I'm at rn. "I think this is a good time to close this book. It has changed my life forever"

Such a specific vibe. Dark and lonely but also really nice and comforting. I hadn’t realized how good the soundtrack for this game was when I first played it. This is great

I work 12 hour night shifts without a single day off in two weeks now. This mix is the only thing keeping me sane.

This really helps to cope with when you feel bad and just low on everything

only chads cry themselves to sleep whist listening to the cry of fear soundtrack

For a really dark and depressing game, this ost is weirdly calm and beautiful, almost relaxing

Playing dark city late at night walking in Stockholm city alone really hits different. If you live in Stockholm, I highly suggest doing this.

читая комментарии, я поражаюсь, что люди в таком раннем возрасте играют в эту игру и понимают, что они не одни такие. а также игра действительно описывает те моменты в жизни, которые прям берёт за душу. благодаря данным саундтрекам и людям, написавших свой опыт с игрой и жизнью, что задевает даже меня. я рад, что игра может помочь людям разобраться в себе

Cry of Fear's soundtrack makes me want to cry of fear

Unironically nice to listen to while drunk and alone, eases the pain a little

I was depressed after my brother's passing, I hated life and didn't wanted to do anything, I just sat there doing nothing. I didn't go to theraphy or used any drugs, I only needed this game. I have finally found a down to earth character who suffered more than me, I know Simon is a fictional character but, he is also my hero, my savior, who protected me from the depression's firm grasp. I know it sounds corny but, it is what it is, stay strong my kings, your time will come...

I discovered Cry of Fear during the pandemic. I was 17, and my first love (I'm not with him in a romantic way, but we are really close friend today because we've been through so much together) was home with me, and we played this game together late at night. I remember being really affected by the ambiance of this game, something really touched my soul and maked me feel in a unique way I never felt with anything else. Cry of Fear have a really important place in my life, and I guess I never related so much to a sensation then this strange feeling of struggling to come home in a dark and hopeful city that feel so empty and dangerous. I use to feel exactly like Simon in some of my dreams during this period, stuck somewhere, unable to come in my sweat home in an interminable cold night. But now I have a really different point of view in life, I found something to waking up for and I have a lot of people that I love around me (friends, lover, and family), and I feel very grateful for all the beautiful human experiences I've been able to share with those people. I'm so grateful to always be so close to my first love because he his a really important person to me, and we are so attached to eachoter. Oh, and I also discovered DSBM, witch make me think a lot about this game (especially LifeLover). Anyway, I wich everybody here is doing good, and have found some sense in life. If it's not the case, don't be to rude to yourself and allow yourself to stay in "the abysses" when you don't feel like trying to be happy. I think happiness is going to come anyway, when you least expect it. But don't take this extra step and hurt yourself further than you should be please. Always stay empathic and kind to others people, you don't know what they're going through to. Idk, it was my goofy take of the day (excuses my bad english i'm a frenchie) Love :))

When I saw the atmosphere in this game. The dimly lit streets and parks, the silence, the wind, the solitude, the confusion, the occasional melancholic song. It reminded me that there’s people out there who get it. It’s a comforting thought.

I feel like the first song "Brandon" could fit with any horror series, but it fits with Cry of Fear the best.

It's really wild how much this game inspired me when I was younger. At this point, to me, Cry of Fear is more than just a game. Having met (and even worked with a bit) the creator, Andreas, it's just such a different thing to me. It's not just a game, it's something I hold near and dear to my heart. I'll always remember this game for being there and just helping in making me the person, and developer I am today. I love this mix because I feel like it really accentuates the more ambient and emotional aspects of the game. The parts that aren't about being scary, but about being real, and deeper than just scares. This game is so genius, and I'm so glad to have been able to meet the creator on multiple occasions. Great Guy, Great Team, Great Game.

Brandon.. Столько много в этом саундтреке: боль, одиночество, воспоминания, счастья, горечь и т.д. Для меня он лучший саундтрек который я только мог услышать. Спасибо тебе большое, Андреас Роннберг, за то что ты создал этот проект.

Решила послушать во время уборки. Пока засовывала одеяло в пододеяльник устала. Легла на диван и слушала эту музыку без каких либо эмоций. Расслабляет

Since I've played the game, 90% of all dark music sounds like and 90% of towns during midnight look like Cry of Fear to me. Surely a game that has influenced me a lot.

This isn't just a game or just a soundtrack. This is art that connects people in their grief and their existence. This is terror, emotion, silence and a loud scream. It's the depiction of human darkness that drives you crazy and provides comfort at the same time. Because you don't feel alone. This game means emptiness, loneliness and hopelessness and at the same time security and a feeling of "coming home". It is a masterpiece. A feeling, an image, a state. It is so much and so valuable. It is a part of Scarred hearts and lonely souls. It's a hug and a pang from the universe. It's indescribably wonderful, it's living and dying. It's darkness and light. It's perfect.

i played this at the mental hospital, one of the nurses asked what this is, because she found it calming. i explained where its from and she was really surprised that a horror game can have such calming music

Dark city is just - dayum.. i cried

This goes so well when home alone at night time and it sets the mood...

When I was a little kid, I would pass of things as normal. When I grew older I began to realize things that I had been through. I developed PTSD through having to live with my meth head dad for half a year and it was awful. He burned me with a cigarette, called me weak, and he even had drug parties in the same house that I was sleeping in. I believe that is the reason why I absolute despise it when I touch someone I don’t 100% trust. This OST reminds me of some of those traumatic memories, but it gives me motivation; it reminds me how I overcame that. I still suffer from anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I’ve almost attempted suicide, but I stopped myself. I sometimes feel like I am trapped in a haze, a bubble of my own emotions in which I can’t seem to escape. The memories, the people who hurt me, the people I’ve lost, the pain, still hurts me to this day. I sometimes want to cry my eyes out, but I hate crying. I am nonbinary because of the way my dad treated me, I feel like it’s another way to try to relieve that pain of being mocked and teased about being weak and not man enough.

Dark city is still my favorite intro music to a game ever, and my favorite in the soundtrack really.

0:00 - Brandon 5:10 - Crow 9:04 - Lonely 11:27- Dark City 15:43 - Snow 18:13 - Anxiety 21:19 - Hate Life 23:15 - Nothing Left 25:23 - Sophie 29:37 - Heaven 32:36 - Thoughts 35:29 - Calm 37:18 - Everything Hurts (Reversed) 39:14 - No, No, No 41:47 - First Station 44:04 - Not Anymore 45:46 - It's Over 49:02 - Sometimes 52:31 - Conclusion 55:34 - Never 56:33 - Train Stations 59:09 - Better Luck Next Time

I remember putting brandon and crow on my pc, while me and my ex laid in bed together. Now I listen alone.

i dont want to sound edgy, the whole cry of fear pack (the OSTs, story and gameplay) is making me feel things. I relate to Simon a lot. But seeing lots of people romanticize his mental state and actions is really making me question myself where the hell am I living. I really wish to find someone I could freely express my feelings to without feeling the guilt and disgust later on

listened to this a lot in october. so bleak, so real, so cold. love it a ton, thanks for compiling

Man i love how Dark City is very well extended, Cry of Fear was one of my favorite games these years, i'm amazed on how it was all made in GoldSrc engine, never gonna forget this masterpiece.

whenever I was diagnosed with depression at the age of 11 I never forgot how much my parents cried, the symptoms slowly got worse as I grew up and whenever I played Cry of Fear it was perfectly depicting Depression.

I just have to leave a comment here. This game and this music... man... I've been there from the start. I love this game and it's themes to death until this very day. I'm not in a mentally bad state... but I think... alot... an unhealthy amount about things so far outside my own reach and how they worry me. Covid really amped up the feeling of isolation and it never really went back down afterwards. This music is just... perfect for that kind of feeling... I hope everyone in the comments here is doing well. Hats off to all y'all. Have a good life.

По началу не обращал внимания на OST, думал: "ну фоновая музыка и фоновая музыка, что в ней такого?", а теперь понимаю, что не могу перестать ее слушать, хочется чтобы эти композиции сопровождали меня чуть ли не везде. Так приятно и спокойно на душе с ней...

A game that will always have a place in my heart, I recommended it to many friends at the time and they thought it was great, the OST was never far behind.

The literal feeling I get from this is indescribable.

Your taste of music for rain and ambiance pieces never ceases to amaze me. Well done. I honestly forgot this game existed.

I really love how that shot in 0:30 was framed. The cutscenes in this game are incredibly overlooked and underappreciated as janky as they may be.

Hearing this music gives me so much comfort. It's been a year since I've been showing symptoms of depression and cry of fear has become my refuge, especially its soundtrack.

Cry Of Fear will always have a special place in my heart. thank you TeamPsykallar.

Pretty helpful for my and my suicide issues now.... I love u all guys... I wish you all the best nothing more

It’s comforting to know that people out there, whether close by or far away, there are people who get it. I’m glad that Cry of Fear was introduced to me at my lowest so that it could help my out of that dark pit I called my thoughts. If you’re reading this then just know that you’re not alone and that it might look horrible now, but in the end, there’s a way to pull yourself out…

Listening to this makes me rethink my life decisions... I won't talk about my problems here because I don't want to look like a crybaby, but I can say the music is just beautiful and kind of describes most days of mine. Thanks to Andreas for beautiful soundtracks, and thanks to his team for making a game where I could relate to the character.

Thank you, I'm glad to see that you like the atmosphere of this game too.

♥ best horror game ive ever played

The nostalgia is what makes this mix a drug for me. Thank you, and most definitely thanks to the musician and devs who made this masterpiece of a game.

I've been listening to this for a prolonged period of time, probably since it came out, I wouldn't know really. All I really know is that it's been very touchy for me, always matching with my emotions, despite there being not a single lyric, the vibe and sounds bounce in my heart, and make me cry every time I listen to this, "Thoughts" being the one that always makes me break into tears regardless whether I've been listening to this since the start or not. Recently, I was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which was something I always told myself wouldn't happen, or said it as a way to tell me that things could be worse, and that I should try and be happier about my situation. Knowing that I've actually been suffering from PTSD for most of my recent life was rather shocking news, specially to an already depressed 16yro like me, who's struggling with keeping up with school and themselves. PTSD Would explain why I have become to see sleeping so difficult, and why I've always been sleeping with my monitor screen on as a light source in my room, I can't sleep with my back faced against the rest of the room as I look at the wall anymore. It would also explain some of my panic attacks, and why I'm so easy to just burst in tears when listening to certain tracks or seeing certain things. I remember tuning in to this the moment I got home, crying to myself for the rest of the day (I had came home around 4 PM). Normally, there's ways to look after people with PTSD, but as a teen this young like me, who's already traumatized and depressed since 2020, in a country where homosexuality isn't respected at all followed by the fact I'm extremely isolated, struggling socially due to my autism, it becomes extremely difficult considering my parents are already struggling to even keep an eye on me to see if I'm alright from time to time. As well, my country doesn't exactly care much about people's psychological and/or emotional situation, and pretty much all psychologists/therapists are untrustworthy, meaning I'd at most just be given anti-depressants, which is something I already tried and had shown to be absolutely useless. I like listening to these tracks, because they sound familiar, almost as if I know these tunes despite not actually knowing how the song goes, it gives me such a calm yet emotional feeling, almost as if I was safe, with someone or something that I can shed my tears to. It's something I hold dear in my heart, and really appreciate that this exists.

I feel genuinely happy

That whole playlist was bussin, i feel a lot calmer now

This shit hits different

i love to fall asleep listening to this

Thanks for making this mix, Cry of Fear's music is so underrated and deserves much more recogniton, it has a very lonely vibe to it which I bloody love, keep up the good work man!

Damn back in 2019 i was going to take my life with the this soundtrack with pills for anxiety,( i played this Game back in 2013-2014 and i remember the soundtrack so well that i wanted yo be the last thing i wanted to hear) i was at the emergency stairs and at 5am some dude that was doing execises there called the cops and the ambulance and saved me, i didnt want to hear this music till now because i didnt want to remember this episode that i had but damn, now i see it at good eyes and gives me nostalgia but i mean in the good times when i was playing it haha, regards from Chile 🇨🇱

Listening to this is calming. I did enjoy Cry of Fear it did help me get through hard times. Just had to end a friendship of 13 years. It's not the easiest. My friend became a raging alcoholic and I tried to be there for him, but he was too far gone to the point that it wasn't good for me to be his friend anymore. I am still hurting from it. However, I am glad I found this and just take a bit to sit back and just listen to this.

its a cold October, another year alone i find comfort in the tracks of this amazing game thank you for uploading these even if i'm 2 years late

I love the fact that the music names does make sense with the melody that plays in. Like in "Hate Life", it's morbid and has some soothing guitar in it, showing that Simon's life almost didn't have anything new or even any kind of "movement", and the melancholy that hits in the music shows that due to his depression, it just worsened within time, though he tried sometimes to see some good things on life. The heavy bass that keeps up with the guitar too symbolizes that the bad thoughts would always follow him, no matter want point of view he would be looking at his surroudings. That's at least how i could interpretate the music, as i had the same trouble when i was around 13yo, but i would like to see other POVs of the symbom this music brings!

I went to sleep with this last night and it was honestly peak 10/10 would do again

Listen to this while I drive at night 👍

This is the best game ever, literally the ost is so iconic that i take time of my life just to concentrate on hearing it because listening it while doing other thing feels like an insult xd im so obsessed with cry of fear omg help me

Это игра навсегда в сердце, и другой такой уже не будет.💔

Brandon hits really hard, they all do, man this game makes me feel some feelings

A cry in the dark, never seen

And here i am, working out with this on my ears, just, perfect. Thanks for putting this together.

"I've suffered from depression over the years, I think we all have … But that was just something I just thought, 'Well, that's my character trait. You know, I get down,' And it's something you know, you deal with," the "Amercia's Got Talent" creator shared of how he previously viewed his mental health. -Simon Henriksson

@Cry café I like that the music's order makes a story with the tracks name.. :] Nice touch!

So much love for this. Cry of Fear, one of the most beautiful games ever. if you know what depression and anxiety means, it's like a journy into your mind...

I literally listened to this for 2 months straight now sleep peacefully and sad

this playlist is a masterpiece you can play it when you're depressed and hopeless or happy and content I listened to it many many times thank you, kind uploader

this entire OST keeps sane, even after I've been going through a lot of shitty moments in my corrupted family

I have a big love-hate relationship with Cry of Fear but more on the love part. It has lots of annoying design choices and mechanics but it's really a great and scary horror game.

A few months ago I started to feel bad about myself, I feel that things have not improved. This soundtrack helps me to feel calmer in the most difficult moments. Thank you very much for uploading it.

I can't stop listening to this, or silent hill music, these games have a special place in my heart.

"Train station" es un track bastante importante para mi. Refleja tanto, como me siento, como veo mi dia a dia y las pocas ganas que me quedan de seguir viviendo.

Cry of fear 4eva❤

This songs remind me such an amazing memories

I'm listening to this while doing my math homework for school late at night just to keep myself and my subconscious away from bringing up anything related to what I'm going through right now, 4 years of chronic depression and even though I've improved in a few aspects, every time I feel that I am closer to drowning. I was suddenly curious about the comments, and it's so nice to read people who went through similar things, people I don't really know, but it still comforts me to know that they followed through.

По мне игра зашла настолько для меня,что я часто слушаю этот плейлист , teampsykskallar спасибо вам за чудесную игру ...

Thank you man I miss this game

I've listened to this video all night repeatedly, thank you!

Thank you, this playlist is so beautiful

These music really feels like loneliness and isolation

Dark City hits different .. uff

This playlist makes me feel safe and hopeful of what's to come.

потрясающая проникновенная музыка, когда играл в игру просто останавливался когда начинался трек и слушал .. так завораживала эта атмосферная вещь. Спасибо создателю игры и музыки

I humbly thank you for effort. I will gladly use these sound files for future use namely studying and sleeping. Thank you again

i love cry of fear, i relate to simon a lot. ive had suicidal thoughts and i feel like shit all tthe time. i wish i could create something like cry of fear to express my feelings but i have no experience in making video games oh well

This is one of my favourite music videos.

It really is a beautiful soundtrack, reminds me of Silent Hill osts

Please make a Golden Light mix like this. It's dark and odd, but very comforting

i finally understand why the average cry of fear player has 300+ in-game hours

Dude thanks- this is awesome

so many memories! thanks for this amazing creation

My thinking playlist; productivity playlist; go-to playlist. Thanks a ton!

I love listening to this mix on nighhtime, laying down and just letting this video play in the background

Thank you so much for this precious playlist!

Really well put together man. 👍

I hear so much Lifelover here ;)

I think Cry of Fear belongs up there with the greats of horror video games. Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Amnesia, all of em.

I only started the game now, but holy. I never felt so heard. The game is oddly so sad yet sooo comforing.
