This repository contains a manual QA test report for the psychological horror game Cry of Fear, developed using the legacy Half-Life (GoldSrc) engine and available for free on Steam.
The purpose of this report is to improve my skills in game quality assurance and bug reporting through hands-on testing. All findings are based on my own gameplay experience and analysis. I aim to observe, document, and reflect on common issues and user experience challenges in games — particularly indie and legacy-engine titles — as part of my QA development journey.
This project is part of an ongoing QA initiative that I started 3 weeks ago.
Across all my public test reports, I’ve received:
- 1000+ total views
- 100+ total clones
- 100+ unique visitors actively downloading and reviewing reports
This growing interest motivates me to continue improving and sharing insights for both developers and the QA community.
