The series was produced primarily by using the machinima technique of synchronizing video footage from computer and video games to pre-recorded dialogue and other audio. The series was produced at the request of Monolith Productions as part of a tie-in with the "Director's Edition" of F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon, which the Rooster Teeth team used to produce the series. The mini-series consists of five episodes. Four of these have been released on the Rooster Teeth website, and one — episode 0, a prequel — ships exclusively with the F.E.A.R. Director's Edition DVD.
