Fear Effect is an action/adventure/horror game published by Eidos Interactive. Released midway through the original Play Station's life cycle, the game is the tale of three merciless mercenaries — Hana, Glas, and Deke. The daughter of a rich and powerful businessman has run away, and the trio have learned of this via an inside source and plot to find her. Although, the three of them plan to ransom her back to her father if all goes well. However, everything is not what it seems to be, and the girl in question is the key to an epic ordeal — possibly involving the fate of the world itself.The game spawned a prequel, Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix, which shows how the three main characters met, and introduces Rain, Hana's love interest. Their mission in this game is to stop an epidemic of a highly dangerous disease.The gameplay features typical action/adventure elements, run and gunning enemies, stealth sequences, keycard-fetching and puzzle solving, but the setting fuses influences as diverse as cyberpunk and Chinese mythology. What is somewhat unique is each character you control has a "fear/confidence meter". By solving puzzles and taking out foes quickly, your character's meter stays green. When you screw up or take damage, the meter goes down. When it's red, your character has all the defense of wet paper.A third game, Fear Effect: Inferno, was planned to be released for the Play Station 2, but was cancelled. With IP holder Square Enix's blessing, French indie developer Sushee launched a Kickstarter campaign in 2016 for a new game titled Fear Effect Sedna, which was released on March 6, 2018. Sedna takes place four years after the events of the first game.Due to the interest Sedna drew, a remake of the first game, titled Fear Effect Reinvented, was announced in 2017. However, it was cancelled in September 2023.

comment
Rape as Drama: The pendulum swings back and forth between this and Rape as Comedy in Fear Effect 2, when Hana finds Rain strapped to the bug thing, she is genuinely horrified, and later asks Rain if she's alright. In the very next scene, both are cracking jokes about it.

Cel Shading
 Fear Effect (Video Game) / int_14931ba5
comment
Cel Shading: The games use an impressive fake cel-shading technique - instead of using real time lighting for the cel-shading, the developers textured the character models to look like they were cel-shaded, then applied basic flat lighting to achieve the full cartoon-like look. True real time cel-shading would not arrive until the Sega Dreamcast, most likely due to a lack of hardware power in the fifth-generation consoles or a lack of precedent in programming cel-shading effects.

Big, Screwed-Up Family: Rain comes from one. To wit: Her mother, Rachel Kazra, injects herself with the DNA of Qin Zhang in a bid to create the perfect being and inadvertently releases the EINDS virus. By the time Fear Effect 2 rolls around, she's become an Abomination. Rain's father, Qin Zhang, is the immortal first emperor of China. Her sister Mist, is an Evil Twin demigod with plans to take over the world. Rain herself is an amnesiac demigod gun for hire. It says a lot that the mercenary is the most normal of the bunch.

comment
Full Motion Video: The first two games extensively use FMV. Not only are the cutscenes presented using video, but during gameplay, the backgrounds are almost exclusively short looping videos which you guide the characters over, instead of the static bitmaps of Resident Evil and its imitators. Sedna dropped this aspect since technology had advanced enough to make the practice largely redundant.

Multiple Endings
 Fear Effect (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77
comment
Multiple Endings: The first game had many: If you side with Hana, she kills Glas for his attempt to kill Wee Ming Lam. Mr. Lam transforms into a monster and becomes the Final Boss. Hana kills Yim Lau Wong while burning the brothel to the ground. Wee Ming simply disappears. Siding with Hana and then losing the fight has her being forced to work for Yim Lau Wong as she goes on a killing spree in the world while justifying it by saying that they could probably make the world better than it was originally. Wee Ming stands by her side. If you side with Glas, he kills Hana believing that she was being deluded about the prophecy. Wee Ming transforms into a monster and becomes the Final Boss for Glas. When she's defeated, she becomes a paper doll that Glas picks up and takes with him as he escapes and burns the brothel to the ground in Hana and Deke's names. If Glas dies, Wee Ming uses his blood to fulfill the prophecy where she now roams the world and can transform anyone she looks at into a monster. On Hard mode, you can Take a Third Option by siding with both Hana and Glas. Hana fights Mr. Lam. Wee Ming completes her prophecy and promises Hana and Glas that their sacrifices will be repaid in full. Glas shoots Yim Lau Wong and causes him to fall into a pit. Deke is brought back to life with no memory of his death and Glas grows a new arm.

Poor Communication Kills
 Fear Effect (Video Game) / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: Glas is the poster boy of having little to no communication skills. In Fear Effect 2, he could have explained to Hana why he is so opposed to having faith in someone else. In the original Fear Effect, he fails to explain to Hana why he thinks Wee Ming is the cause of the problems they faced so far. A lot of grief could have been spared if he just explained rather than go on a wild rant. Then there is the fact that he does not try to find out the significance of the paper doll or even mention it to anybody. At least Deke handled the matter of the paper doll than Glas ever did. Oh, and Glas also reveals that he does not speak Chinese. Honestly, does the army cause or teach people to have no communication skills? At least in Inferno, Glas tells Hana to be careful and he clearly shows that it was very hard to get that out of his mouth (i.e. Cannot Spit It Out).

Only Sane Man: Glas comes across as this during the second game. Quickly and correctly deducing it's a setup at the Temple of Xi'an, he tries to leave on several occasions, but keeps getting pulled back in, and voices his disbelief during some of the more absurd moments while everyone else just acts like talking to an Immortal is an everyday occurrence.

Fire-Forged Friends: Hana, Glas, Deke, and Rain. In Inferno, the bonds between the four of them have improved significantly. In fact, the four of them seem to have started romantic or sexual relationships with each other, except for between Hana and Deke, and Glas and Deke. Best shown by this line from Glas: "That's no way to talk to my friend. Even if you are a king.

Hammerspace: This game allows your characters to carry assorted firearms and plenty of ammunition despite walking around with just a holster and minimal gear, but it gets really ridiculous in the first game in levels involving Hana. She spends a level clad in just a towel (being interrupted by mooks during her shower) and disguises herself as a brothel prostitute clad entirely in lingerie in another, and both stages allows her to carry firearms and plenty of ammunition despite her lack of clothing. Including the assault rifle. Somehow.

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism
 Fear Effect (Video Game) / int_372bc105
comment
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Okay, this is a tough one. There are points in the series that are certainly cynical. However, there are points that are idealistic. One good example is the contrast between Hana and Glas. Hana proves to be the idealistic one, while Glas proves to be the cynical one. In fact, the ending of the first game could be viewed as the result of a battle between idealism and cynicism. The true ending has Hana winning out, with Glas surviving (as well as regaining the arm he lost) and Deke being resurrected, thus causing the series to lean towards idealistic. Of course, the three of them failed to get any money out of the job, so the series also leans toward cynical. In Fear Effect 2, the manual claims that EINDS is a worldwide epidemic and causing theft, murder and terrorism to become big business. However, the original Fear Effect shows people going about their daily lives and not at all acting like the world is coming to an end. The true ending of Fear Effect 2 has the characters put together a cure for EINDS and make it available to everyone worldwide and not just the highest bidder, which may explain that. The series could be put in the middle of idealistic and cynical.

Flunky Boss: The Final Boss - both of them, depending which path you chose - qualifies from having their own legion of Unique Enemy monsters backing them up during their penultimate battle. Monsters which shows up as their minions and nowhere else. For Hana, players will face Mr. Lam, who sics various flying, imp-like monsters which spends the entire battle hovering around Hana. As Glas, the battle against Wee Ming has the latter summoning green, tentacled monsters that crawls in a straight line towards Glas.

Golden Ending
 Fear Effect (Video Game) / int_47e4f5f5
comment
Golden Ending: Of the three endings in the original Fear Effect, the best can only be obtained by playing on hard mode. In it, Glas willfully pulls his gun back, allowing Hana to fight the monstrous Mr. Lam. Once she defeats him, Wee Ming promises to repay Hana and Glas for their sacrifices, and that she will never forget Hana before disappearing. The King of Hell attempts to attack Hana, only to get shot down by Glas. The King falls down a pit, which causes the area that Glas and Hana are in to start collapsing around them, causing them to flee for their lives. Crawling out of the now destroyed brothel, both are surprised to see Deke alive and well, with Glas surprised to see his once severed arm has grown back. Deke asks how they made out, with Hana and Glas agreeing they did just fine.

Screw the Money, I Have Rules!: Hana's reason for not just bolting when Mr. Lam finds Wee Ming; she believes that Wee Ming is being sold into sex slavery, and is trying to keep her from the same fate Hana herself was subject to. When Deke asks her is it's still about the money, Hana bluntly tells him "not anymore."

Body Horror: Wee Ming has the power to turn people into monsters just by looking at them. At the final stages of EINDS, people look like they are suffering from a combination of AIDS and smallpox. In the first game, once Wee Ming's power leaks out in a brothel, the working girls all start losing their skin and spawning teeth and claws. And now the players must fight their way out of a brothel infested with demon prostitutes.

Silly Rabbit, Cynicism Is for Losers!: Glas is the cynical one. Hana is the idealistic one. Glas is treated as the Butt-Monkey and The Lancer. Hana is treated as the Iron Woobie and The Hero. It probably won't surprise you that the best ending in the first game essentially has Hana winning out without having to shoot Glas.

We Have Reserves: The Shop, the organization Glas used to work for, sent Glas and his entire squad on a mission. Said mission caused the squad to end up in an ambush that left them all dead or captured, except for Glas. Glas tried to order the squad to abort, but it was too late. Glas unexpectedly encounters his brother Drew and Drew shoots him in the back. Drew claims that the Shop knew that the squad would be ambushed on this mission, but it sent the squad on it anyway. Glas and his squad were not informed of this. Does anyone realize how much the idea of knowing that an ambush is going to occur and not warning anyone about it makes no sense at all?

Gameplay and Story Segregation
 Fear Effect (Video Game) / int_6320eced

Gameplay and Story Segregation: Glas has a few in the first game. It is possible for Glas to run out of ammo in the first stage (at least, for his pistols), and yet make it to the final area to bust Hana out. In the following cutscene, Glas will then drop down and fire his pistols all over the place for Hana to escape, even though his inventory shows him having no pistol bullets at all. The first game's village stage has a moment where Glas gets surrounded by zombies, and must fight his way through. It's possible to take them all down with a single pistol, or with Glas' smackjack (for skilled players who want to conserve ammo) — the following cutscene will have Glas holding two smoking pistols amidst a pile of dead zombies.

Once More, with Clarity: The first game's opening cinematic shows Wee Ming, the girl which the mercenary team is trying to abduct, being escorted by a funeral procession on a misty road, before a mysterious, one-armed figure sneaks up behind her and kills her. The gameplay then begins. And in the final stage, hell, the scene plays again, but this time the mysterious assailant is none other than the one-armed Glas, who is killing Wee Ming in order to prevent her powers from causing any further damage. Oh and the funeral's pallbearers? They're revealed to be hordes of demonic monks.

Belligerent Sexual Tension: Hana and Glas have something like this. They have a habit of pointing guns at each other and giving tough talk. Also, the one female of the Eight Immortals says to Glas about Hana being his friend, which he tries so very hard to deny. In spite of this they are quick to help each other. A trailer for Inferno shows Glas putting a hand over Hana's hand. He awkwardly tells her that "I just want to say...be careful, you know?" A few seconds later, she smiles and puts her head against his back, surprising him. She responds "We've all got to be careful." Considering what happens later... well, see the Love Triangle entry below.

Left Hanging
 Fear Effect (Video Game) / int_80b5924
comment
Left Hanging: The trailers for Inferno revealed a number of things: One scene shows Jin/Yim Lau Wong alive and plotting with an unnamed man about Hana. This unnamed man is probably a member of the Triad Hana has to work for. There was a website that said that Hana reached to the point where she decided to go against her contract with the Triad. It is hard to say if that means she got enough money at that point or that she simply had had it. Either way, a woman named Minx threatens to kill Rain if Hana goes against the contract. Hana does not take threats like that lightly, so she decides to kill Minx, with Glas, Rain, and Deke helping her. There is next to nothing revealed about Minx. She may be a member of the Triad, or perhaps a servant of Jin/Yim Lau Wong. The outcome of the mission to kill Minx is not revealed. Trailers and Wikipedia indicate that Hana was captured and put in an insane asylum (or she may have been killed and sent to hell, forcing the other characters to find some way to get to hell and rescue her). Unfortunately, the insane asylum is controlled by Jin/Yim Lau Wong's demons. She also has visions and gains some abilities. She even gains some kind of sword and uses it against a boss. The boss is an asylum doctor who is a monstrous creature whose brain pops open - and if Hana loses, a cutscene plays showing the monster ripping off Hana's arm and adding it to his body. Oh, yeah, and Deke infiltrates the asylum as one of the patients.

New Rules as the Plot Demands: The penultimate level reveals that when Wee Ming comes into contact with blood, anyone in the surrounding area mutates into a monster, and yet Lam somehow doesn't mutate in the brothel like all the prostitutes even though he was standing right next to Wee Ming. Similarly, when Mr. Lam mutates at the very end, Glas is unaffected by Wee Ming's Blood Magic even though he is standing nearby. Possibly justified by her powers being similar to the Ark of the Covenant, in that you have to look at her.

Skippable Boss: Hana has two during the Eight Immortals challenges: The first comes when one reveals himself to be the aqueduct worker who gave Hana a couple of items. His fight is avoided by simply not shooting the other aqueduct workers, as he will simply wave Hana through to the next challenge. The second one comes as a result of a Sadistic Choice for Hana: who does she miss most; Rain or her parents. Picking Rain will again see Hana waved through, but picking Hana's parents results in a fight against 2 of the teleporting demons, who suddenly are much, much more durable than the ones fought in the gardens.

Non-Standard Game Over
 Fear Effect (Video Game) / int_8e0430ab
comment
Non-Standard Game Over: Dying in the final boss fight in either game gives a cutscene from the bad guys perspective, with Yim Lau Wong sparing Hana but making her into Wee Ming's body guard as intended, or Glas dying, and Wee Ming completing a Face–Heel Turn and kick starting Yim Lua Wong's plan. In Retro Helix, the Temple of Xi'an goes nuclear, and Yim Lua Wong contemplates that maybe his plan wouldn't be as hard as he thought.

Sadistic Choice: During the Eight Immortals Challenges, Glas has to pick between his father (loyalty) or his brother (honor). Neither is the right choice. Being able to let go of the demons of his past is, but he doesn't get that choice. Hana gets one her own a little later, having to chose between her parents (the future that never was) or Rain (the future that could be). This one is much easier, as the whole reason Hana is doing these challenges in the first place is for Rain's sake. Picking her parents results in a very difficult duel boss fight.

He is foiled completely incidentally when Hana and Rain use the aqueducts as a shortcut on their way to raid the Wing Chune building and he makes the mistake of hurting Rain (see Berserk Button below).

Anti-Hero: all four protagonists are mercenary cold-blooded killers who will eliminate anyone in the way of their objective, with Deke being an outright sadistic psychopath. Rain briefly has qualms about sniping a couple of oblivious guards from a vantage point... right after having murdered about a dozen of their comrades to reach it. Despite this, they're the only ones who can save the world - on three separate occasions.

Solve the Soup Cans: The series is generally pretty good about this, but the Juniper Gardens have a really bad one as you are supposed to find a bunch of crystals, plant them to grow a tree which sprouts a diamond, then use that to open a door. The game gives you no hints to any of this.

Shout-Out
 Fear Effect (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Glas encounters the first emperor of China and they have a short dialogue that was clearly taken from Ghostbusters (1984) and paraphrased a little bit. When Glas fights this fellow, said fellow uses an attack that was clearly lifted from a certain black-robed figure in Return of the Jedi. The Shop, the organization that Glas used to work for, is almost certainly taken from the books of Stephen King. The scene where 5-year-old Hana witnesses her parents get shot and killed right in front of her may very well have its roots go back to Batman. The disease EINDS is similar to the disease AIDS and smallpox. AIDS and smallpox is not that big of a problem anymore when compared to EINDS. While AIDS has yet to be cured, smallpox has, like EINDS. Deke's prolonged exposure to EINDS is similar to Magic Johnson's almost 25 year long battle with HIV, which is longer than people who were born with HIV have lasted. One website said that Jin/Yim Lau Wong is essentially the Kefka of Fear Effect. The King of Hell falling down a pit and apparently exploding is something that can be compared to a certain scene in Return of the Jedi. The Dual Wielding, Mexican Standoffs, and artful dodging while firing are all staples of John Woo films. The first level of Fear Effect is heavily influenced by Blade Runner. One of Hana's death scenes involves turning into a golden statue, much like one of Tomb Raider's most famous death scenes. The skinless dog-like creatures Hana and Glas run into during their trek through Hell are almost certainly lifted from Resident Evil.

Video Game Caring Potential: Sparing the aqueduct workers (all of whom are horribly traumatized by their boss going nuts and shooting up the place, and as such only shoot when shot themselves, and rather poorly at that) in the first level of Fear Effect 2 pays dividends later by sparing you a boss fight.

My Eyes Are Up Here: Hana has one of these moments in both games. The first when she distracts a guard by dropping the towel she was wearing, whom Deke then kills. Hana reminds him not to look too long, for she's killed for less. The second happens during the Christmas party, when she uses the trope name word for word on a guy who just can not take a hint.

What the Hell, Hero?
 Fear Effect (Video Game) / int_d39e327f
comment
What the Hell, Hero?: the Planner attacks Rain, knocks her out, strips her to her underwear, imprisons her in some kind of bondage apparatus, and subjects her to whatever is going on with the bug machine - which is at the very least sexual assault, and arguably worse. Yet mere minutes later, Hana - who has been established as ultra-protective of Rain - makes a wisecrack about the whole incident... to which Rain responds in kind. There's no indication of this being the couple dealing with a horrible experience through dark humor; it's simply laughed off and never referred to again. Perhaps more a case of What The Hell, Writers?

Tactical Suicide Boss: The One-Winged Angel form of the bosses would be invulnerable if not for certain actions they choose: Madam Chen, in her demon form, is surrounded by a fiery force-field which bullets couldn't penetrate, as she summons skinless prostitutes to attack Hana. Skinless prostitutes that upon being killed, will drop paper dolls. Collecting the dolls and dropping them into the forcefield will neutralize it, allowing Hana to damage Madam Chen. Hana's Final Boss, Mr. Lam, also counts; he's completely invulnerable, and can release bolts of electricity at ground level that Hana must avoid. But his battle is also flanked by various imps which, upon being killed, will drop similar paper dolls, which can be burnt in pyres within the boss arena making Lam vulnerable to gunfire.

Freudian Trio: Hana is the leader who tends to drag Glas into situations he does not want, which would put her between Id and Ego. Glas has been a leader, tends to be concerned about his profits, and he tries to figure out all the angles, which would put him in Superego territory. Deke has little problem working with Hana and Glas, and he tends to kill people left and right when he is alone, which would put him in Ego and maybe towards Id. Of course, this is before you put Rain in there.

Suicide Attack: the Cat-Eyes in Retro Helix are hovering drones that fly at their target and explode like grenades.

Deadly Rotary Fan: One puzzle in Glas' flashback requires him to get past one. Failure leads to a lovely scene of Glas' chopped corpse being left behind.

Fire Alarm Distraction
 Fear Effect (Video Game) / int_f5dc896c
comment
Fire Alarm Distraction: The brothel escape from the first game has Glas escaping his cell, sneaking through a crowded kitchen (while avoiding being spotted - get caught by any guards and Glas dies instantly in a cutscene) and eventually making it to a fire alarm, where Glas will trigger it on purpose causing sprinklers to go off everywhere in the kitchen, scattering everyone while Glas takes down several guards during the confusion.

Running Gag
 Fear Effect (Video Game) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Each character has a sort of theme in terms of what their missions are like. Deke just can't stop falling off things, Glas has an unfortunate tendency to get caught on fire, and Hana seems to have a compulsion to strip once a disk.

Beware the Nice Ones
 Fear Effect (Video Game) / int_fccd06b6
comment
Beware the Nice Ones: Rain is new to the mercenary business, somewhat innocent and naive, doesn't swear, scares easily, apologizes profusely for mistakes, is a little klutzy and comes across as a genuinely sweet and caring person. She also kills more people during the game (including her own mother and twin sister) than professional assassin Hana, former special forces soldier Glas and psychopath Deke combined.

Video Game Cruelty Punishment: If you do kill the aqueduct workers, all you get is a measly little bit of pistol ammo, and a boss fight that requires you to engage in melee combat against a guy who shoots lightning out of his hands.

Brick Joke: At the start of the second game, when Hana asks Jin if the mission has an exit plan, he mockingly suggests that she and Rain just walk out of the front door. Two discs later, they do exactly that. "Ta-ta!"

Dark and Troubled Past
 Fear Effect (Video Game) / int_fed93e1b
comment
Dark and Troubled Past: Three of the four main characters have one to some degree: Hana was only 5 years old when her parents were killed in front of her by the Triad, who then sold her into slavery, before turning her into a mercenary. Glas was a secret agent/military commander who saw most of his unit wiped out with the few surviving members being used as guinea pigs for the EINDS virus, before being forced to kill his own brother. His brother then reveals himself to be working for the people who killed Glas' men. Rain is an amnesiac demigod whose own family tries to bring about the end of the world. Deke doesn't have one but that's because he is a psychotic hit man who is just another one of Rachel Kazra's failed experiments.

Everything Trying to Kill You
 Fear Effect (Video Game) / int_ffd816e7
comment
Everything Trying to Kill You: And they do. However, the students in the aqueducts will leave you alone if you don't go around actively shooting them, the Immortals will not fight you if you make the right choices (i.e. not shooting the students), and the girls in the bio-hazard suits will ignore Rain for as long as she doesn't have her weapons armed. Same goes for Hana and the guards in Madame Chen's restaurant while she's in the hooker outfit.
