‘It’s not just football with blood’: Fear FA 98 is the Silent Hill meets Fifa 98 mashup we never knew we needed

A barmy merging of genres where you can play with balls made from decapitated heads - here's a release that could promote an indie developer to the premier league

Sometimes it's the weirdest combinations that go best together: bacon and ice-cream, pilchards and custard, erm ... Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary. But surely no one has thought of putting Silent Hill and Fifa 98 together before now.

Billed as the world's first online survival horror football game," Fear FA 98 (pronounced Fear-fa, like Fifa) has you pulling out knives, rusty scissors and syringes, summoning demons and using decapitated heads as the ball, in moves that make the likes of Diego handball" Maradona and Luis bitey" Suarez look like angelic stalwarts of the Fifa fair play guide.
