Fiend is a a 2D survival horror game greatly influenced on the work of HP Lovecraft. You play as Nick Cane who is sent to the small town of Lauder to see if a mine contains any valuable minerals. Arriving at Lauder you suspect that all is not right with the town and slowly the visit turns into a nightmare. The game was released in 2001 and took around 2 years of work to finish. The engine is made using the allegro library and has features such as realtime lighting and particles effects.
