Plot
The story of F.E.A.R. is presented in such a way that only a few minor plot elements are presented in the game's beginning, thus allowing players to experience the adventure as the hero in own spine-tingling epic of action, tension and terror. The player later witnesses further unexplained and occasionally lifethreatening paranormal phenomena, including frequent hallucinations, many of which center around a little girl in a red dress named Alma. Alienware Laptops found during the course of the mission, hacked by Commissioner Betters, provide additional details regarding the background story, as do unread voicemail messages on telephones. Because of this, it is possible for players to miss some of the game's plot by failing to locate all of the laptops or telephones.

The manual briefly mentions the player character's recent induction as point man to F.E.A.R. a top-secret special forces group created by the U.S. government in 2002, which specializes in dealing with paranormal threats to national security. The point man's extraordinarily fast reflexes are compared to that of a cat on an adrenaline rush, and although the reason for the point man's superhuman reflexes is at this point unknown, it is clear that the government is interested in his abilities.

In the game's opening scene, a genetically engineered psychic named Paxton Fettel suddenly takes command of a battalion of telepathically-controlled clone supersoldiers, after hearing voices in his head accompanied by visions of a young girl in a red dress. With the help of these Replica soldiers, Fettel seizes control of an Armacham Technology Corporation (ATC) facility, killing all of its occupants. Soon afterwards, Fettel is seen eating one of the building's employees, while his soldiers stand guard around him.
