F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon) is a horror-themed first-person shooter computer and video game developed by Monolith Productions and published by Vivendi. It was released on October 18, 2005, for Windows,[1] and ported by Day 1 Studios to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.[2] An expansion pack for F.E.A.R. entitled F.E.A.R. Extraction Point was released by Timegate Studios on October 24, 2006,[3] and a direct sequel has been announced by Monolith Productions.[4]

The game's story revolves around a supernatural phenomenon, which F.E.A.R.—a fictional special forces team—is called to contain. The player assumes the role of F.E.A.R.'s Point Man, who possesses superhuman reflexes and combats an army of cloned soldiers, and at the same time uncovers the secrets of a paranormal menace in the form of a little girl.

F.E.A.R. was well-received by critics, scoring 89% on Game Rankings,[5] and The New York Times calling it "as thrilling and involving as Half-Life."[6] A "Director's Edition" DVD version of the game was also released. The DVD included a "making of" documentary, a director's commentary, a short live-action prequel and the exclusive first episode of the promotional P.A.N.I.C.S. machinima. A related Dark Horse comic book was also packaged with the DVD.
