“I've always felt alone. My whole life. For as long as I can remember. I don't know if I like it or if I'm used to it, but I know this; being lonely does things to you. Feeling shit and bitter and angry all the time just... eats away at you...”
I couldn't agree more , the feeling of loneliness & the understanding of it is mutual . it does do things to you ; & in my experience , one of those things is it teaches you to survive , to create the willpower that it takes to overcome the mental & emotional trauma that it takes to deal with the loneliness & personal isolation . however , you learn to use that willpower & take on the world , so that nothing will ever get in your way . nothing . you possess the personal strength , the willpower . so , don't ever allow that loneliness & isolation beat you . Peace .
Eventually the body itself is being attacked & harmed. Yes. Its horrible and great pity. Hang in there y lonely souls, distant cousins of mine, out there
I'm a teacher in a school located in the poor suburb of a big city in France. Most students are uneducated, disruptive and sometimes even violent. It's really a tough life, for us but also for them... Recently, after discovering your channel, I sit alone in the classroom after each day and put this music (or the train ambient from Silent Hill). It heals the mental wounds of the day and helps me recover a bit of calm, of sanity. On friday, I stayed half an hour like that. A thousand thanks for your great work.
I use to be a pretty shit student, never paid attention, never cared what teachers were trying to teach me. I've had teachers of all different types of personalities, those who were angry all the time, those who were trying their best to make learning fun and intuative. Being young you tend to be very naive to what the realities of being an adult is like, it isn't till your older you look back at all the older more experienced people in your life and what they were trying to prepare you for. I wish I could go back and apologies to every teacher I ever disappointed, but I can't and I have to live with that. In saying that tho, I've had teachers who have helped me when I've really needed it, they were patient with me, knew my limitations and helped me work through my struggles. So If I could also go back and tell those teachers how thankful I am I would in a heartbeat. So look at it this way, out of all the students you could be teaching, think of that "one" student, there will be more than one, but look at each them as that "one" student. Because one day you may very well be that teacher that the student will look back on and remember.
I discovered it like two months ago and i played it with my cousin cuz i was just to scared to play it by myself. I played alone only the first part but i was terrified of the apartments... now its one of my fav game
I am unemployed at 40 years old in Spain. No matter how hard I look, I can't find anything and it's very stressful. This kind of music helps me meditate and relax, good job.
I just imagine a kid sees this text by his mom and never makes it home. Makes me feel like a jerk cuz I would get these kinds of texts or calls by my mom when hanging out with my friends, and I'd feel embarrassed so I'd be annoyed or ignore them for a bit.
this is pure horror. not monsters, aliens, serial killers, ghosts or anything. this sound itself describes the scariest thing a human could possibly experience, being stuck in the extreme and deep lonesome. can't get over it and decaying day by day and fading away.
Simply pause to consider! And who you were before the day of your birth. As you are nothing, nothing can truly hurt you because nothing can happen to you. Nothing has ever occurred to you. Time does not exist, so there is nothing to wait for or be concerned about. You need nothing and hold to nothing. The tragedy started when you were born.
I’m from Russia and I'm 26 years old. I suffer from schizophrenia, my only friend turned away from me and i can’t communicate with my relatives because they remember me horrible episodes from my life. And I don't have more people with whom I can talk. Especially about my illness... Just thank you for this. The game inspired me to continue my treatment, and it’s very nice to me, listen to and watch this.

Exactly my thoughts. Instantly got Resident Evil Save Room vibes. Eerily beautiful with a touch of nostalgia. Love to just sit back and reflect on my life, with music like this, alone, at night
I was a police officer in a big city in the US. I worked in a very rough part of town. Lots of persons shot, domestic violence, kids hurt, shots fired calls, people stabbed, riots, takeovers... for 5 1/2 years. It does things to you, being to a world like that. I periodically come back to CoF, It always strikes a core with me. Im now out of the city, me and my family, and I are out of the chaos in a smaller, quieter rural town. This music really helps me decompress and process what you experience as police officer. Thank you for what you do. And to everyone, please be safe.

I love how beloved Cry of Fear has become. I never really was able to hop on the silent hill train when it was in its prime so Cry Of Fear was my forst experience in a game being totally alone in a dark forboding empty city. It created this whole asthetic in my head of loneliness that has stuck with me since
man this threw me back, theres a weird comfort in being depressed and suicidal, lonely, i have no idea how to describe it and it sounds so contradictory, and it is, but that feeling when its raining outside all day and your blinds are completely shut so your room is completely black feeling numb from the cold and your depression eats away at you as you stare at a wall for almost an entire day, completely hollow but in and out of awareness of your senses. theres a weird inner warmth as well? this sounds like that feeling that i cant place. like he said “i dont know if i like it, or if im just used to it, but being lonley does things to you.” , i was depressed for the first decade and a half for my life but im better now. this just throws me back to that one feeling id have. its insanely bitter sweet
If this is what it is, it's good to know someone else is or has experienced it. While in person it is hard to relate, over the phone do I find people to understand
Cry of fear has helped me by showing that there’s people that understand the problems I’m dealing with at the moment and it giving me comfort. Like Simon I deal with sh and really bad depression for a few years now, and I felt like nobody has really understood the struggles and intrusive thoughts that come with that, this game has shown me that others understand those thoughts and feelings, and it makes me feel less alone when I get bad. Cry of fear is also just a really good game in general so that helps too sad that it’s not talked about as much as it should be, but at the same time it’s fun to show others that can handle the themes yk.this game has just helped me out and I hope others feel the same way about it
This really hits home for me. I would always go on long walks at night and she would send me a messages like this asking me to come home. And leave me voicemails. She’s been gone almost a year and I just came across this video.
I remember when Cry Of Fear first came out. I remember downloading it day 1 and being blown away by how amazing it looked. I really wish the team behind it would make more games. They're clearly good at what they do.
Loneliness, a silent killer. Unforgiving, unrelenting, and unseen. It takes and takes and takes, leaving permanent damage if untreated. I’m lonely, I’ve been lonely, and I’ll probably continue to be lonely. No one deserves that, and no one is born into this world to be alone. So, if you’re lonely, know that I am too. We can empathize with that, and find some solace, together. Stay strong, lads. For loneliness doesn’t last forever.
From the moment I entered this world, I was alone. My twin, my other half, had not made it through the journey. I never knew him, never felt his presence beside me, yet his absence was a constant echo in my life. Growing up, I reveled in the quiet moments, the solitude that embraced me like a comforting cloak. In those hushed spaces, I felt a presence, not of loneliness, but of a kindred spirit, a silent companion who walked beside me, unseen yet ever-present. It was in these moments of quietude that music spoke to me most profoundly. Melodies wove themselves around my heart, their harmonies echoing the unspoken bond I shared with my unseen twin. The notes carried a poignant beauty, a bittersweet symphony of what could have been, a shared life we were never destined to experience. As the years passed, I learned to carry the weight of my twin's absence with a quiet grace. I embraced the solitude that had been my constant companion, finding solace in the knowledge that I was never truly alone. My twin was there, in the whispers of the wind, the rustling of leaves, the gentle caress of a passing breeze. He was in the music that stirred my soul, in the art that touched my heart, in the beauty that surrounded me. He was in the love of those around me, in the kindness of strangers, in the simple joys of life. And though I will never know my twin in this life, I carry him with me always. He is the silent half of my being, the unseen companion who walks beside me, a constant reminder of the profound connection that transcends life and death. In the quiet moments, when the world fades away and only the music remains, I feel his presence most keenly. It is a bittersweet feeling, tinged with sadness for what could have been, yet filled with gratitude for the invisible bond that unites us. One day, perhaps, in some realm beyond our understanding, our paths will cross. Until then, I carry his memory with me, a precious treasure in the quiet chambers of my heart.
Man that text really hits hard with this remorseful, yet guilt-ridden sounding ambience. I’m not going through shit rn , hell my life is even on the up. However, I used to be a very depressed, stressed and confused teen. Cry of Fear is one of those pieces of media that reminds me of my old self and I cant help but feel an echo, a small reminder of the misery and loneliness I used to feel daily. Decided to put this on during a late night study session. Instead spend most of the time staring at one spot and ruminating about my past lol.
En horas de la noche, brindo porque evidentemente salistes del pozo, asómate a la ventana y respira profundamente... y solo concéntrate en lo que te hace bien.
God i need to play cry of fear again It’s a strange game with me When I begin playing it again, it’s almost like my life follows Simon. People begin to leave, I get cheated on, overall negative things happen. But I come home and keep playing it, becoming lost in his story instead of mine. When I finish the game. Suddenly life becomes normal again. Sometimes positive. Obviously this could be because I’m playing a game about a depressed man so I’m in that mindset. But it makes you think Why do I love playing it over and over when it just seems to do that? I’ll always hold cry of fear as my top game. Even with its strange curse it has with me Thank you for this video.
it certainly is a powerful game. it shows you darkness and then shows you the reason to look at the glimmer of light. then your mindset changes entirely, and your perspective shifts.
I think this ambience dug up some repressed emotions since I've been crying for a full 45 minutes now. I've been a full-on NEET for the past three years because I couldn't cope with the stresses of fitting in, having to take care of so much responsibility. No one prepared me for this. I hope I can dig myself out of this eventually but re-entering society feels like such an upward struggle that I fantasize about suicide regularly. I feel so fucked man.
I felt the same once, it gets so much easier. you have to throw yourself into new situations, its the only way. you'll thank yourself. I believe in you!
found this while having a really bad episode of hallucinations at night, the calm of it all outweighed the dread they give me. I guess even if it were all real, I can at least find peace in knowing that I'm calm now.
@@seanimal_555 Bro seriously play it, when I was like 10 years old I played it for the first time, but I stopped in the beggining because "The puzzles were too complicated", but it was bc I was a freaking 10 year old kiddo, a lot of years passed since I havent played it again, 4 weeks before this day I decided to give the game a 2nd chance, and it was awesome, one of the best games that TRULY represents depression, anxiety, etc. Despite the topics that the game has like suicide and depression, it is pretty enjoyable, and if youre kinda sensitive about this topics, well, I recommend you not to play it, so thats it, God bless you my friend!
this helped a suicidal friend of mine from doing it. i really liked him as a friend, and when i showed him this, he froze. he didnt want to do it anymore. he finally stopped feeling suicidal and he lives to this day. and he talks to me frequently.
It's amazing how this text message brings me nostalgia. And I'm not talking about the old cell phone, but rather this age threshold (14yo-18yo) between having the freedom to go out with friends and come back late at night, but even so, you're a child, and your mother is still responsible for you , she is worried. This kind of thing.
literally playing this everyday at my work. currently lost literally in life heavy af. Didn't knew that a game ambient music will calm me down and my head. thanks
Midwhich I just wanted to say thank you for making this. I get home on weekdays around 10Pm=11pm at night and after a long day I like to unwind by sitting on my porch. With this music it's so comforting and enjoyable. Been listening to a lot of this ambience from you actually. Just wanted to make an appreciation comment.
First of all, thank you very much for the kind words! 🖤 I do exactly the same thing when I come home from work in the late evening, when my little daughter and my wife are already sleeping. Just sitting on the sofa in my studio, listening to some ambient tracks and relax.
Sitting on a lonely bench infront of the lake in winter, snow falling upon you and you are slowly bleeding out... until you die with this music.... greatest feeling
I always found it so weird how you'd be hard pressed to find any ambient videos on Cry of Fear, because it is a relatively popular game with very moody environments. You've done a great service to the horror community with this, thank you!
I dont have a phone, but I have a walkman I like to carry with me at night. I downloaded this just so I could meditate on a park bench while listening to this. Love from berlin ~🖤❤💛
Cry of fear was and still stays my favourite horror experience of all time. The ambience and music, atmosphere and such being a massive reason behind it, this upload is a peaceful way to enter that world space through my minds eye for a while. Thank you kindly
this song is one of the best ambient tracks ive ever heard. The soft ambient sounds, the occasional humming (not sure what else to describe it), the rising and falling tones, it feels like an ocean on a distant planet, slowly gushing around. It fits cry of fear perfectly and would be a better fit for its ost than like 50% of the songs on it (I say this as a really big fan of the OST.) I love this work, thank you for producing it
These sorta ambience videos are the best for me especially when life isnt currently going your way and probably wont be anytime soon sadly. cry of fear really is a beautiful game huh, connects many people from around the world to share their pain which is soothing to know that im not that only one going through some very tough times. your music is amazing
i feel like i am in the rain without a umbrella, just standing , somehow enjoying but also a litlle sad, understanding the emotion of myself.. i feel with hope :3 Keep the head up people!!
Thank you for providing such an ambience. Normally, I don't like extreme horror games, especially psychological ones. But this game occupies a completely different place for me. Simon's struggle with his psychology. Anxiety and anxieties appear as monsters and we struggle with them. For some reason I feel at home in this game I know the producer of the game And when I talked to him, ruMpel (game maker) said that he did not have enough budget for the Cof Remake and unfortunately the project was closed.
Few games give quite the same feeling like this one did...While I only played it for a bit the music and the overall game is something I don't think I'll ever quite forget...No matter how old I grow. Thanks to TeamPsyskallar for the most memorable horror game I can think of...And thank you Midwich Music for bringing this Ambience. Can't tell you how many times I've just...Sat down and listened to this to mellow out. Much love! 💜
Dude, you were able to create this masterpiece! I felt like a depressed schoolgirl. When I was 13 years old, I had terrible apathy and mild depression, during this period I started playing Cry of Fear. You know, it helped me overcome this unbearable condition. It's been 10 years, but I still love this game. Playing, it was as if I was walking through Stockholm at night and felt lonely and hopeless. I even imagined my outfit: a sleeveless hoodie, a skirt, leggings and berets
This has become my go-to ambience to disconnect from the world. Doesn't matter whether I've had a good or a bad day, I always come back to this one for comfort and reflection. Thank you for this masterpiece ~
Okay, my mental issues are not any better, but this ambience has actually helped me to come up with a new idea for a video game. You are a character with severe mental issues. His name is Jessie Martin (came up with it on the fly) and he works at this lab that is experimenting with mind exploration. The scientists figure out that there is an entirely different universe parallel to the actual universe called the Neuroverse. It is essentially every person that ever lived and their minds formed into one universe, and Jessie is sent to explore it. You learn about the corruption within in laboratory and you are also being hunted by a mysterious entity known as the NeruoFlayer. This creature, which is soon revealed to be an alternate version of Jessie, tries to mentally torture Jessie by putting he/her (dysphoria) through painful moments and terrifying imagery from other peoples memories. There will probably be a combat system along with the game, but it is mostly like an Alan Wake/Cry of Fear/Silent Hill style game.
I have been struggling with depression for about eight years. This is a state of deprivation from feelings and at the same time hypersensitivity, as if I were open soft flesh that rubs against a needles wall. This ost is calming, but evokes despair, a cycle of suffering locked inside the head, body. Thank you
I have not played Cry of Fear before, though I want to at some point, but this music...I don't know how to describe it, but it touches some part of my soul when I listen to it. Thank you.
This is amazing; I've listened to your stuff for a while. Funny enough, I was just wondering if you made anything for Cry of Fear because that is one of my favorite horror games out there; then I just happened to come across this, and I must say, I am mesmerized! In my opinion, Cry of Fear doesn't get enough love.
You know recently my days have just been blending together just a lot of “Did I do that today or yesterday?” And “Wow that was a while ago.” I don’t know why I think like this or look back. Maybe I just missed something back then. I mean the times were simpler, I wouldn’t say that I’m depressed I’m more just lost right now not knowing what I’m suppose to be doing.
First time hearing this ambience, honestly really sounds good. i wish i can find more ambiences like this. sometimes whenever i listen to ambience like this i usually rethink my life in whole and think who am i.. and what am i doing with my life, what is my future and all.
This has become easily one of my all time favourite playlists for falling asleep. There's alot of dark ambient music videos out there now and whereas I do enjoy them alot this one hits different somehow. (Which is kinda funny, because I didn't even know Cry of fear existed before finding this video)
I've never played cry of fear but this playlist is soothing to me. It's like picking out your anxieties just to cradle and soothe them so that you may rest. It's pleasant
We definitely need more Cry Of Fear themed videos, and I suggest looking into Frictional Games 2015 title "SOMA". Really scary game but with absolutely beautiful ambience! It's always a good day when Midwich uploads!
im 15 in atl ga. no mater how hard i try to get rid of my depession it js finds a way back worse and worse. this music rlly help me deal with it late at night
wow thank you for your work! i was genuinely surprised to see a cry of fear video from 2024! i simply love the ambience of this game, please make more of it. imagine you were walking through sweden in winter and had to make a soundtrack..
im gonna be a sophomore in high school and im struggling a bit, just found this on my recommended, this really helped me calm down! Thank you for making this post and keep up with the good work!
After more than a decade of hearing about the game, since 2012 when it released, I finally worked up the courage to S Rank this game with all endings and unlocks obtained. It took some out of me, but I managed to do it and overcome my fears. Nostalgia! 👌😱👻☠️☠️
hi, i´m a college freshman from Chile. i have been feeling pretty exhausted of the sudden weight over me, expectations, self imposed goals and trying to keep a social life. still, even with everything around me seeming like it won´t get any better i plug my earphones, put this playlist on and just keep going. maybe a bit of a long stretch, but i like to imagine myself as someone like Simon, that even when things looked so awfully pessimistic he manages to keep on living (atleast in one ending lol). even so, thank you so much for helping me out on these stressful days :)
Agree. The whole scene is perfect: the message, the bare trees that move slightly in the wind with falling leaves, the clouds passing by. The music is the cherry on top.
Recently discovered this ambient, great for times where i just wanna be completely alone with my own thougths. Sometimes i ask to myself why i feel this way.
know I've made mistakes But I want to have you I will protect you from afar Even though I'm alive It feels like i'm dead Don't go Don't leave me In this moment I am with you My love still remains So I'm not alone I will give myself to you in your eyes Just a little Even if it's just a little When you take my heart My tears fall in memory I will love you Forever.
Really nice music, it goes well with the video and style of the game. /Andreas, behind CoF
Hey Andreas, thank you so much for your feedback and this beautiful masterpiece of a game! Best regards 🖤
the industry of videogames needs you Andreas, come back and make another masterpiece please
Best of luck with your next project Andreas. CoF is still one of my all time favorite horror games.

“I've always felt alone. My whole life. For as long as I can remember. I don't know if I like it or if I'm used to it, but I know this; being lonely does things to you. Feeling shit and bitter and angry all the time just... eats away at you...”
Yeah and then when you try and reach out the trust has vanished. Inability to trust but just avoid people.

I couldn't agree more , the feeling of loneliness & the understanding of it is mutual . it does do things to you ; & in my experience , one of those things is it teaches you to survive , to create the willpower that it takes to overcome the mental & emotional trauma that it takes to deal with the loneliness & personal isolation . however , you learn to use that willpower & take on the world , so that nothing will ever get in your way . nothing . you possess the personal strength , the willpower . so , don't ever allow that loneliness & isolation beat you .

man this threw me back, theres a weird comfort in being depressed and suicidal, lonely, i have no idea how to describe it and it sounds so contradictory, and it is, but that feeling when its raining outside all day and your blinds are completely shut so your room is completely black feeling numb from the cold and your depression eats away at you as you stare at a wall for almost an entire day, completely hollow but in and out of awareness of your senses. theres a weird inner warmth as well? this sounds like that feeling that i cant place. like he said “i dont know if i like it, or if im just used to it, but being lonley does things to you.” , i was depressed for the first decade and a half for my life but im better now. this just throws me back to that one feeling id have. its insanely bitter sweet

I remember when Cry Of Fear first came out. I remember downloading it day 1 and being blown away by how amazing it looked. I really wish the team behind it would make more games. They're clearly good at what they do.
Loneliness, a silent killer.
Unforgiving, unrelenting, and unseen. It takes and takes and takes, leaving permanent damage if untreated.
I’m lonely, I’ve been lonely, and I’ll probably continue to be lonely.
No one deserves that, and no one is born into this world to be alone.
So, if you’re lonely, know that I am too. We can empathize with that, and find some solace, together.
Stay strong, lads. For loneliness doesn’t last forever.
It does
From the moment I entered this world, I was alone. My twin, my other half, had not made it through the journey. I never knew him, never felt his presence beside me, yet his absence was a constant echo in my life.
Growing up, I reveled in the quiet moments, the solitude that embraced me like a comforting cloak. In those hushed spaces, I felt a presence, not of loneliness, but of a kindred spirit, a silent companion who walked beside me, unseen yet ever-present.
It was in these moments of quietude that music spoke to me most profoundly. Melodies wove themselves around my heart, their harmonies echoing the unspoken bond I shared with my unseen twin. The notes carried a poignant beauty, a bittersweet symphony of what could have been, a shared life we were never destined to experience.
As the years passed, I learned to carry the weight of my twin's absence with a quiet grace. I embraced the solitude that had been my constant companion, finding solace in the knowledge that I was never truly alone. My twin was there, in the whispers of the wind, the rustling of leaves, the gentle caress of a passing breeze.
He was in the music that stirred my soul, in the art that touched my heart, in the beauty that surrounded me. He was in the love of those around me, in the kindness of strangers, in the simple joys of life.
And though I will never know my twin in this life, I carry him with me always. He is the silent half of my being, the unseen companion who walks beside me, a constant reminder of the profound connection that transcends life and death.
In the quiet moments, when the world fades away and only the music remains, I feel his presence most keenly. It is a bittersweet feeling, tinged with sadness for what could have been, yet filled with gratitude for the invisible bond that unites us.
One day, perhaps, in some realm beyond our understanding, our paths will cross. Until then, I carry his memory with me, a precious treasure in the quiet chambers of my heart.
La música nos eleva a otro mundo...
Beautifully written. Cheers
Man that text really hits hard with this remorseful, yet guilt-ridden sounding ambience.
I’m not going through shit rn , hell my life is even on the up. However, I used to be a very depressed, stressed and confused teen. Cry of Fear is one of those pieces of media that reminds me of my old self and I cant help but feel an echo, a small reminder of the misery and loneliness I used to feel daily.
Decided to put this on during a late night study session. Instead spend most of the time staring at one spot and ruminating about my past lol.
En horas de la noche, brindo porque evidentemente salistes del pozo, asómate a la ventana y respira profundamente... y solo concéntrate en lo que te hace bien.
This ambience
it's like it makes me be calmed inside of me and, swimming in the depth of my soul, felling something like, i never felt before...
God i need to play cry of fear again
It’s a strange game with me
When I begin playing it again, it’s almost like my life follows Simon. People begin to leave, I get cheated on, overall negative things happen. But I come home and keep playing it, becoming lost in his story instead of mine.
When I finish the game. Suddenly life becomes normal again. Sometimes positive.
Obviously this could be because I’m playing a game about a depressed man so I’m in that mindset. But it makes you think
Why do I love playing it over and over when it just seems to do that?
I’ll always hold cry of fear as my top game. Even with its strange curse it has with me
Thank you for this video.
it certainly is a powerful game. it shows you darkness and then shows you the reason to look at the glimmer of light. then your mindset changes entirely, and your perspective shifts.
I think this ambience dug up some repressed emotions since I've been crying for a full 45 minutes now. I've been a full-on NEET for the past three years because I couldn't cope with the stresses of fitting in, having to take care of so much responsibility. No one prepared me for this. I hope I can dig myself out of this eventually but re-entering society feels like such an upward struggle that I fantasize about suicide regularly. I feel so fucked man.
I felt the same once, it gets so much easier. you have to throw yourself into new situations, its the only way. you'll thank yourself. I believe in you!
ay man same shit with me. i js wanted to chill and this had me crying for 30 minutes and i havnt cried in years
found this while having a really bad episode of hallucinations at night, the calm of it all outweighed the dread they give me. I guess even if it were all real, I can at least find peace in knowing that I'm calm now.
Stay safe my friend! 🖤
love you bro stay safe
This game is so underrated, what a masterpiece, thank you for reminding me it exists
what game is this?
Cry of Fear , its a mod based on the old half life engine, a modified version (GoldSrc)@@seanimal_555
@@seanimal_555Cry Of Fear
@@seanimal_555 Bro seriously play it, when I was like 10 years old I played it for the first time, but I stopped in the beggining because "The puzzles were too complicated", but it was bc I was a freaking 10 year old kiddo, a lot of years passed since I havent played it again, 4 weeks before this day I decided to give the game a 2nd chance, and it was awesome, one of the best games that TRULY represents depression, anxiety, etc. Despite the topics that the game has like suicide and depression, it is pretty enjoyable, and if youre kinda sensitive about this topics, well, I recommend you not to play it, so thats it, God bless you my friend!
😊😊
38:29 This part really hits different and real good tho, pretty sick too
this helped a suicidal friend of mine from doing it. i really liked him as a friend, and when i showed him this, he froze. he didnt want to do it anymore. he finally stopped feeling suicidal and he lives to this day. and he talks to me frequently.
It's amazing how this text message brings me nostalgia. And I'm not talking about the old cell phone, but rather this age threshold (14yo-18yo) between having the freedom to go out with friends and come back late at night, but even so, you're a child, and your mother is still responsible for you , she is worried. This kind of thing.
literally playing this everyday at my work. currently lost literally in life heavy af. Didn't knew that a game ambient music will calm me down and my head. thanks
Thank you for stopping by! Take care, my friend ^^
Midwhich I just wanted to say thank you for making this. I get home on weekdays around 10Pm=11pm at night and after a long day I like to unwind by sitting on my porch. With this music it's so comforting and enjoyable. Been listening to a lot of this ambience from you actually. Just wanted to make an appreciation comment.
First of all, thank you very much for the kind words! 🖤
I do exactly the same thing when I come home from work in the late evening, when my little daughter and my wife are already sleeping. Just sitting on the sofa in my studio, listening to some ambient tracks and relax.
i don't even know how to explain how i feel when im listening to this playlist. I feel full of loneliness but in a way thats not sad at all
Nice Ambience, recently been going through depression and thinking about the future, this calmed me down, thanks.
Stay safe, my friend! Thank you for stopping by 🖤
Sitting on a lonely bench infront of the lake in winter, snow falling upon you and you are slowly bleeding out... until you die with this music.... greatest feeling
Don’t take this video off bro this is one of the best cry of fear video😢
Big thanks, my friend
I always found it so weird how you'd be hard pressed to find any ambient videos on Cry of Fear, because it is a relatively popular game with very moody environments.
You've done a great service to the horror community with this, thank you!
for me this sound encaptures the feeling of realizing your friends are drifting away + the text message makes it more about that, in my opinion
Well this is going on the sleep playlist
I'm crying, it's amazing how cof atmosphere influence to people... Anreas and his team are very talented guys. I respect them so much
I dont have a phone, but I have a walkman I like to carry with me at night. I downloaded this just so I could meditate on a park bench while listening to this. Love from berlin ~🖤❤💛
Grüße nach Berlin! Besten Dank für's hören wa 🖤
Cry of fear was and still stays my favourite horror experience of all time. The ambience and music, atmosphere and such being a massive reason behind it, this upload is a peaceful way to enter that world space through my minds eye for a while. Thank you kindly
Thank you so much! 🖤
I'm just wondering, have you played Silent Hill? They are very similar
this song is one of the best ambient tracks ive ever heard. The soft ambient sounds, the occasional humming (not sure what else to describe it), the rising and falling tones, it feels like an ocean on a distant planet, slowly gushing around. It fits cry of fear perfectly and would be a better fit for its ost than like 50% of the songs on it (I say this as a really big fan of the OST.) I love this work, thank you for producing it
Big thanks for your feedback! I highly appreciate it 🖤
This song makes me think of when I was younger and much happier than i am today. Thank u for making this song
This made me play cry of fear and now its one of my favorite games
Really? That's awesome! 🖤
Masterpiece.
It almost makes me feel that I will die alone, very nostalgic depression. The game pretty much sums how I am mentally.
These sorta ambience videos are the best for me especially when life isnt currently going your way and probably wont be anytime soon sadly. cry of fear really is a beautiful game huh, connects many people from around the world to share their pain which is soothing to know that im not that only one going through some very tough times. your music is amazing
i feel like i am in the rain without a umbrella, just standing , somehow enjoying but also a litlle sad, understanding the emotion of myself.. i feel with hope :3 Keep the head up people!!
Thank you for providing such an ambience.
Normally, I don't like extreme horror games, especially psychological ones.
But this game occupies a completely different place for me.
Simon's struggle with his psychology.
Anxiety and anxieties appear as monsters and we struggle with them.
For some reason I feel at home in this game
I know the producer of the game
And when I talked to him, ruMpel (game maker) said that he did not have enough budget for the Cof Remake and unfortunately the project was closed.
This feels like RE4 Serenity
that one is hell of a stylish song
this melancholy...I've never felt anything like it.
Played Cry Of Fear for the first time not too long ago. One of the better horror games out there, and it was a free mod. Outstanding
Few games give quite the same feeling like this one did...While I only played it for a bit the music and the overall game is something I don't think I'll ever quite forget...No matter how old I grow. Thanks to TeamPsyskallar for the most memorable horror game I can think of...And thank you Midwich Music for bringing this Ambience. Can't tell you how many times I've just...Sat down and listened to this to mellow out. Much love! 💜
Dude, you were able to create this masterpiece! I felt like a depressed schoolgirl. When I was 13 years old, I had terrible apathy and mild depression, during this period I started playing Cry of Fear. You know, it helped me overcome this unbearable condition. It's been 10 years, but I still love this game. Playing, it was as if I was walking through Stockholm at night and felt lonely and hopeless. I even imagined my outfit: a sleeveless hoodie, a skirt, leggings and berets
Sleveeless hoodie.. Reminds me of a certain silent hill character..
beret? Ghhhwaaaaawh French! xd
Totalement d’accord avec toi je m’imagine traverser Stockholm la nuit ayant la même tenue que Simon ❤ sa me fait du bien
listened to this while playing dark and darker at night with my hot coffee, i love life.
This has become my go-to ambience to disconnect from the world. Doesn't matter whether I've had a good or a bad day, I always come back to this one for comfort and reflection. Thank you for this masterpiece ~
I really appreciate it! Thank you, my friend
Same
Complex topics are broken down so easily. Everything is made so understandable.
I can sense the sadness in this for some reason but still keep coming back i love it ❤
Great music, take me back to the good old days when I started playing COF in high school.
Okay, my mental issues are not any better, but this ambience has actually helped me to come up with a new idea for a video game. You are a character with severe mental issues. His name is Jessie Martin (came up with it on the fly) and he works at this lab that is experimenting with mind exploration. The scientists figure out that there is an entirely different universe parallel to the actual universe called the Neuroverse. It is essentially every person that ever lived and their minds formed into one universe, and Jessie is sent to explore it. You learn about the corruption within in laboratory and you are also being hunted by a mysterious entity known as the NeruoFlayer. This creature, which is soon revealed to be an alternate version of Jessie, tries to mentally torture Jessie by putting he/her (dysphoria) through painful moments and terrifying imagery from other peoples memories. There will probably be a combat system along with the game, but it is mostly like an Alan Wake/Cry of Fear/Silent Hill style game.
ain't readin allat 👍
@@we__do L
sounds sick
You should play In Sound Mind
i like the idea so much, it sound interesant, if u cant make the videogame, maybe u can try to write a book with that idea
I have been struggling with depression for about eight years. This is a state of deprivation from feelings and at the same time hypersensitivity, as if I were open soft flesh that rubs against a needles wall. This ost is calming, but evokes despair, a cycle of suffering locked inside the head, body.
Thank you
I have not played Cry of Fear before, though I want to at some point, but this music...I don't know how to describe it, but it touches some part of my soul when I listen to it. Thank you.
its given me that same feeling when my mother sang to be when i was real young. Thank you, great track.
The haunting melody lingers long after it ends. So effective!
This music is too beautiful and made me cry. It tore open my old wounds over and over again...
This is amazing; I've listened to your stuff for a while. Funny enough, I was just wondering if you made anything for Cry of Fear because that is one of my favorite horror games out there; then I just happened to come across this, and I must say, I am mesmerized! In my opinion, Cry of Fear doesn't get enough love.
Wow, this is beautiful! If possible could you do more Cry of Fear inspired music, please? Maybe a longer one, 3 hours plus. Keep up the good work.
You know recently my days have just been blending together just a lot of “Did I do that today or yesterday?” And “Wow that was a while ago.” I don’t know why I think like this or look back. Maybe I just missed something back then. I mean the times were simpler, I wouldn’t say that I’m depressed I’m more just lost right now not knowing what I’m suppose to be doing.
I can totally relate with that. Had this feeling a lot in the past and even sometimes today. Take care, mate!
First time hearing this ambience, honestly really sounds good. i wish i can find more ambiences like this. sometimes whenever i listen to ambience like this i usually rethink my life in whole and think who am i.. and what am i doing with my life, what is my future and all.
Hauntingly beautiful 😍🩶
Thank you! 🖤
This is so nice...definitely gonna put this in my anxiety playlist, tysm 💘💘💘
Thanks a lot!
Currently one of my favorite videos on youtube. The atmosphere, the text message, the sound, all just fit so well. Love from Brazil
Cheers, my friend and huge thanks! 🖤
Dark and beautiful 🖤😌👍
Danke vielmals! ✌️
The music, the text message, the dark and yet somehow charming background combined so well, i teared up a bit actually...
This has become easily one of my all time favourite playlists for falling asleep. There's alot of dark ambient music videos out there now and whereas I do enjoy them alot this one hits different somehow. (Which is kinda funny, because I didn't even know Cry of fear existed before finding this video)
Thx a lot! And do you want to play the game one day? ^^
Have been listening to this in my darkets hours... quite healing i would say
I've never played cry of fear but this playlist is soothing to me. It's like picking out your anxieties just to cradle and soothe them so that you may rest. It's pleasant
this music helps me understand and i feel so much better as a person.
This game had such a powerful message. Such a great game. Thank you for making this!
We definitely need more Cry Of Fear themed videos, and I suggest looking into Frictional Games 2015 title "SOMA". Really scary game but with absolutely beautiful ambience! It's always a good day when Midwich uploads!
Thank you! And thank you for the recommendation. SOMA was really awesome! 🖤
I love ambient osts like this, this really sounds soothing
im 15 in atl ga. no mater how hard i try to get rid of my depession it js finds a way back worse and worse. this music rlly help me deal with it late at night
This song feels like a combination of Wandering from FFX with the dark atmosphere of Cry of Fear. I love it!!
Interesting interpretation! Thanks, my friend ^^
wow thank you for your work! i was genuinely surprised to see a cry of fear video from 2024! i simply love the ambience of this game, please make more of it. imagine you were walking through sweden in winter and had to make a soundtrack..
im gonna be a sophomore in high school and im struggling a bit, just found this on my recommended, this really helped me calm down! Thank you for making this post and keep up with the good work!
Thank you for making this. This game is truly a gem.
Thanks for listening! ^^
I keep coming back to this. Would love more cry of fear inspired ambience.
🖤
Perfect for studying and reading a lot.. Thank you for this!
Id say this needs train noises in the background and its gonna capture Cry of Fear's fibe to the fullest
After more than a decade of hearing about the game, since 2012 when it released, I finally worked up the courage to S Rank this game with all endings and unlocks obtained. It took some out of me, but I managed to do it and overcome my fears. Nostalgia! 👌😱👻☠️☠️
Congrats on that, my friend 😄👍
Old games had the best atmosphere, the new ones are too flashy with poor atmoshpere .
Nothing last forever
after a long stressful day this is a must
This kind of gives me the same feeling as the Guts theme. Thank you.
hi, i´m a college freshman from Chile. i have been feeling pretty exhausted of the sudden weight over me, expectations, self imposed goals and trying to keep a social life. still, even with everything around me seeming like it won´t get any better i plug my earphones, put this playlist on and just keep going. maybe a bit of a long stretch, but i like to imagine myself as someone like Simon, that even when things looked so awfully pessimistic he manages to keep on living (atleast in one ending lol). even so, thank you so much for helping me out on these stressful days :)
I wish you all the best to Chile! Hope everything will be fine soon. Thank you very much for your support. 🖤
Wish this was on Spotify this is amazing
It will be soon. Thank you ^^
Needed this.
These are consistently without fail, very good.
Thanks! 🖤
It hits hard with that mobile message out. Well done!
Agree. The whole scene is perfect: the message, the bare trees that move slightly in the wind with falling leaves, the clouds passing by. The music is the cherry on top.
Recently discovered this ambient, great for times where i just wanna be completely alone with my own thougths.
Sometimes i ask to myself why i feel this way.
know I've made mistakes
But I want to have you
I will protect you from afar Even though I'm alive It feels like i'm dead
Don't go
Don't leave me
In this moment
I am with you
My love still remains
So I'm not alone I will give myself to you in your eyes
Just a little
Even if it's just a little
When you take my heart
My tears fall in memory
I will love you Forever.
You always make me say "Wow" when I click on your videos and those synths fill my ears. What a great picture, too. My favorite channel.
Thank you so much as always! 🖤🎶
