Thanks to Adam over at Rock, Paper, Shotgun for pointing out The Worry of Newport, a Crysis mod that turns the tropical shooter into a slow, moody traipse through a drab seaside village.
Which looks cooler than it sounds.
Set in and around the town of Newport, it’s all about exploration. And listening, as the game boasts a narrator to help give things a little context. And interactive flashbacks. And, sometimes — when things get a little scary — combat as well.

And at the end of the RPS article there’s this:
“The team behind the mod have already started work on a new one and that will be using the Amnesia engine.”
