Ranging from the standard issue police baton, tree branches, M-16 rifle to the Remington 870 shotgun. You have a variety of weapons that you can find to aid you. Basically you play as time cops who go back through time. Upon reading the book, the policemen are dragged into “Simon’s Book” and thus fight backwards through the single-player campaign timeline to prevent the events of the solo campaign from ever happening. In the co-op mode, you play as policemen investigating the case of Simon (the main character in the solo campaign).
While the game uses the Half Life source engine and basic code, everything else such as textures, sounds and models were made by the Team Psykskallar.

Cry of Fear – a psychological first person horror game, that can be played either as solo or cooperative.
