I knew you were still around but digging out cry of fear for a coop tuto is absolutely magical for me!
Even to these days, cry of fear is STILL the best free horor game on steam.

Real happy to see you guys still around, Cry of Fear and Afraid of Monsters were the games that got me into the survival horror genre as well as doing indie dev
Always looking forward to seeing what you guys will make next!

This tutorial was actually my gate way into Cry of Fear. I was watching old Jerma and Star_ videos and came across their Cry of Fear Co-Op play through. It made me want to try a game with a friend for nostalgic reasons. I always really, really loved the art direction of the game and wanted to try it. After we played the Co-OP campaign, I decided to try the single player. That changed my life for the better I think.

Maybe it seems silly to some, but I got a message from Cry of Fear that really helped me reframe my own personal struggles through the game play in particular. Maybe it was me reading too much into the meaning of the game, but it either way, it's helped me immensely. I've probably left many comments in this same vein on this channel, but big thanks to the devs, you made something genuinely legendary. A total masterclass in psychological horror.

Glad that cry of fear is still kicking especially in 2020, can't wait to see what else you talented guys will release on to us in the future.

Ever since I saw Markiplier play, this has been one of my TOP FAVORITE horror games of all time, I even got my roommate to scream in a high pitch in coop XD. I’m so glad you’re coming back!!

[BeyondTheZenith]

we used hamachi all the time to play the co-op
was fun, and everyone had a good laugh at the others dying from Tallers, Sawcrazys, Fasters, heck even those weird ass tentacle things at the bridge map

good times

Thank you so Much Andreas I've been trying to get to do co-op with my friend for a while and didnt get any result so I went up searching every where I could to get to do co-op and now I know thank you very much also love your music and content.

[exeleonlouise]

Love you and the game! It honestly was amazing.

[paneledrewniane]

Thank so much! I had trouble with connecting my friends to the server but turned out that's because i haven't turned off my firewall. I love this game so much, definitely my favourite game ever! Love you and greetings from Poland!! <3

Thank you, Team Psykskallar. I wanted to play with my friend and I didn't know how, I appreciate it.

Guys, if you are getting the "cannot join, retrying" error message (or something like that), the host has to start the campaign first, not wait in the "coop-lobby thing"

[Asas_TV]

if you can port forward just forward the 27014 - 27016 port on TCP - UDP. When in game make sure you disable lan and then get your friends to either join through steam if it works, or connect using your public ip in the console (example: "connect <IP GOES HERE>").

After that, you should be able to play without the use of hamachi and since pretty much every valve game uses the same ports which means you can skip to just disabling lan and joining either through steam or your public ip if you host a server.

(obviously, most of the same troubleshooting techniques seen in the video can be used to test if others cant connect.)

Hey Andreas! This is the guy who messaged you on face book about that practice project based off CoF a while back. I just wanted to say, hopefully cry of fear can get a new game or a more stable remake some day if we are lucky *wink* however most importantly, we love your work!

[cantbelieu]
