It can recognize your fear... can you?

Fear Effect, the pioneering cel-shaded cinematic action game, returns!

Days before her eighteenth birthday, the quiet, enigmatic Wee Ming Lam, disappears under mysterious circumstances. Hana, Glas, and Deke, three self-motivated and ruthless mercenaries conspire to track her down and ransom her off to her father, Mr. Lam, the most powerful Triad leader in Hong Kong, for a large sum of cold, hard cash.

Review Note:

IMPORTANT: you need mesa-dist-win (I used mesa3d-25.3.2-release-msvc.7z). Just extract the archive in the game directory and run the game's launcher using CrossOver.
Then disable the CRT Filter from the option menu, otherwise the game will run very slow!
