The story of F.E.A.R. is presented in such a way that only a few minor elements are presented in the game’s beginning, thus allowing players to experience the adventure as “… the hero[es] in [their] own spine-tingling epic of action, tension and terror”.

The sequel to F.E.A.R. continues the supernatural suspense story of the supernatural being, Alma, whose rage against those who wronged her causes an escalating paranormal crisis that threatens to devour and replace reality with her own.

Nine months after the events of both games, the Point Man was captured by Armacham Security Personel interrogated in an asylum. Paxton Fettel interrupts the interrogation and helps free the Point Man. The two form an uneasy alliance and escape the Asylum through the slums.

F.E.A.R. Files contains F.E.A.R. Extraction Point and F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate.
