i got so used to the "teehee sneaky subtle shadow slinks just out of view" horror that when that one lady straight up charged you i nearly browned my trousers.
The first jumpscare scared the shit out of me. Pretty good job with the extensive buildup with the dark atmosphere, eerie ambience, surreal tv shows and security cams all woven in between random mundane tasks.
I love the Fear to Fathom series, is glad to see a horror game where instead of supernatural threats, you have to deal with normal situations like this, i just love seeing horror caused by normal humans for a change.
I find it scarily accurate how the “intruder” is a disheveled looking woman wielding a knife because I’ve heard a lot of stories of people who were under the influence of drugs breaking into people’s houses
@@datdude5886 Drugs have a strong influence by almost completely desabling inhibition.Yes there's an argument to be made of one's self awareness and self control being the basis of controlling one's own actions, but you can't deny the effects that drugs have on a persons' mind.
@@AlphaBetaGamer by the way, pissing on the seat and blaming Noah for it when you controlled him was a big brain ABG moment, I'm sure no one caught up to you
Theres just something so funny about the idea of this guy telling someone about what happened to them and feeling the need to say “and then i pissed in the floor”
This one held my attention. I was going to critique, but this is the way the artist intended on telling their story, so I can't nag much. What was cool was that I can't remember the last time I was effectively jumpscared, but this one worked somehow. The art direction is great and I loved the feeling of the neighborhood, especially being able to get away from the place of alleged danger. Having to return to it made it feel even more eerie. The normie/slice of life styled stuff is effective and a bit refreshing although it's not the first of its kind. At first I didn't really think the dream sequence was necessary especially after realizing what the enemy was, but now I think it was decently abstract sequence to introduce us with. I'm glad the author knew when to end this because it was sort of a buzzkill realizing that the climax was over a meth head woman, lol! That overly dramatic music baked into most of this sequence made it feel like it was going to be a much worse enemy than it was, so I think a evolving monotonous yet still eerie ambient sound would have served it much better. Cool stuff!
hardest i have jumped at a jumpscare in like five years, wel ldone. i thought the text convo storytelling was really natural and well done. seeing the girl through the door crack could have been a really interesting story element but seems like it was just an oversight for the devs which is a shame
30:52 I was really awkward all the time and this got me a laugh. I was worried about the dog but fortunally he was fine, I was hoping that Noah put the dog inside the house to at least not feeling too alone, but I seeing all the game, nope, better be outside. And maan, at least where i live, the houses have bars, and seeing the house being so easy to go in gives me chills. Good game! And that jumpscare at 43:21 really scared the crap out of me, really better jumpscares than the previous 2 chapters.
That jumpscare made me actually jump like 3 inches. Because ABG already seemingly cleared the room and because I hadn’t expected that room to contain a jumpscare, I was totally caught off guard.
12:02 this was very irresponsible to throw open cans in the reach of a pet. Pets stick their heads into them, get stuck and die if not found & freed soon enough!
5:59 aw, now why don't you want to go downstairs into the dark, foreboding basement? 20:30 only one hand? That's okay! We have a hand solo to add to your lonely hand. 30:46 ABG! Shame on you! That kid is never going to the prom! I'm not going to say when, but that one moment made me jump. I could be wrong, but that howl at 46:00 sounds like the Sasquatch from *Sasquatch: The Legend of Bigfoot (1979)* and Stalk Home Syndrome? You're on your A game with the puns! _Blech!_
The really scary part is not closing the doors after checking the room, that makes me feel sooo vulnerable. And then you left the door open and the cutscene closed it for you xD
>Very Intense Home Invasion horror Game with a Realistic Story I expected robbers who knew you were home and didn't care, who were going to try to kill you, not a psycho ex stalker tbh.
Whew , that game was really well-made . All the tiny minigames , the bicycle physics , the regularity of all the tasks and how easy it was to not check behind every crack in the door , and then YIKES(!) . i·m goNNA gET yu(!) . #ProjectStrix #BlackStalk #Oneirotronics #WeDoThis
fears to fathom in a nutshell . . . Home Alone: don't open your front door to strangers Norwood Hitchhike: don't drive alone at night Carson House: don't underestimate your drug-addicted ex-girlfriend Also Carson House: wash your hands after using the toilet Edit: I'm really enjoying this fears to fathom series btw! The first jumpscare hit me the hardest! The surreal atmosphere, intensely disturbing music, and concept of home invaders is what I have always hoped to see in a horror game. Thank you for uploading this gameplay! 😃
I love how to fix the computer the first thing he does is open up a web browser and click the shadiest, scammiest, most virus-infested looking link imaginable and just blindly downloads the file.
The cool thing about this series, is that the developer encourages people to email him true stories that they have experienced and he'll choose one to create the next game.
I used to work for the Hand Merchant. People ask me what it was like. It was surprisingly difficult. Nobody would ever just lend me a hand when things got hard. I couldn't take it. I ended up having to quit the hand job.
"Antivirus 96" on what appears to be a Windows XP (2001) operating system. My inner computer nerd shudders to think of the technology gap between those two generations of software. :D
There is some wonky pacing and writing in some parts, but I liked it. I feel this chapter is mainly an extension of Chapter 1’s concept, but that isn’t a bad thing. Chapter 2 was the weakest one so far imo.
i love how the funny moments in every single episode are so unexpected like the “i spilled” part lol, it breaks the tension a little haha! ily sm alpha beta gamer !
3:25 revealing that the protag survived at the very beginning at that this is a flashback (not events we see unfold) makes everything less scary. EDIT: still the game was quite tense and that intruder jump scare really got me
Okey why at 01:40hs in my country (Argentina) i must watch this horrible and absolutely beast of horror game. I will sued you for my trauma... The best channel for indies game ever.!??
Kid in the green Tshirt looks like a TCR fan, That's Ghost's avatar ;] The game was meh, The fact there's no real consequence for being caught (Since it's a flashback) The constant music, the cringe zoomer dialogue and the lame asf finale didn't make it scary. But the interactions, the different places, an the dog were nice.
@@AlphaBetaGamer I guess there were more than 2 times she could have killed you? That first one was a doozy.. I never saw it coming. I'm also guessing that if you never turned around in the green screen room she wouldn't have attacked you until you saw her?
Going through the Cameras just to see the dog casually phasing through the fence and just going to the next camera was funny as fuck.

The real horror in this game is that every time he went to use the bathroom, he forgot to wash his hands!
Proceeds to piss on floor and leave it like nah ain't my house lmao
And ate the pizza with THOSE hands...
I love that the dudes feverishly annihilating an entire pizza while being paranoid about home invaders.
Most relatable moment so far

What really??
@@eliteherodungeon5392yeah, Meth is a big culprit
This boring-ass game felt like it was made by an incel lol
Nah, they trying to blame on drug instead of themselves. Its like blaming on devil for telling them to do thing.

"C'mon down, lookit me. I'm the toilet man! " That's gonna be stuck in my head for the rest of the week.
i was honestly just improvising at that point
The television felt very Tim and Eric.
I can imagine the hand emporium next door to the child clown outlet.
49:34 notice how one of the knives from 11:19 is missing in the holder
Oh well spotted! If you freeze-frame during the kitchen attack, you can see she's actually carrying the knife too!
Good catch! Love that kind of attention to detail.
@@AlphaBetaGamer by the way, pissing on the seat and blaming Noah for it when you controlled him was a big brain ABG moment, I'm sure no one caught up to you
@@AntipaladinPedigri Haha. Yeah it was. He's a real pisser that Bobbert.
Forget the girl, they should find out who's playing dark ambient music loud enough for the whole neighborhood to hear and deal with them

44:49 Zeke casually walking inside the fence is too funny
44:50 that paranormal dog is the freakiest thing here.
I thought that was a human walking on all fours at first.
@@paddyDeeful it's a rich neighbourhood so a little late night pet BDSM from the neighbours is to be expected

I like how when the hand merchant comercial was on, and it shows you the "ok" sign you look away lmao, that's a good one.
Pizza eating sound effects were so damn disgusting it actually angered me
it's an asmr thing
43:18 god *DAMN* that got me good
Yeah, that's one of the most effective jump scares I've encountered in a long time!
"I've been held hostage for 37 days, he makes me solve math work."
My god... Someone get hold of the SVU
12:02 this was very irresponsible to throw open cans in the reach of a pet. Pets stick their heads into them, get stuck and die if not found & freed soon enough!
Great! I love the aesthetics and the attention to detail. Good work, Dev!
Yes. Totally agree.

Im glad to see an Indie Game attempt the PS2 era graphics style.
ABG: *Is computer wiz kid*
*installs an "antivirus" from a shady ad, removes system32 file (55, but we know what it is)*
Really cool atmosphere, storytelling, and graphics. Omg the dream survey easter egg is great!
17:20 a simple ragequit
**sees home invader behind the door** "Meh, I've got homework to do"
Getting horribly murdered is no excuse. A doctor degree won't earn itself.
30:50
Why am I not remotely surprised that's the first thing that came to mind when the web browser was opened.
I was thinking that he could have definitely took her until I found out she was on meth 😬 Probably not winning that 1v1
Looks like a Chilla's Art game with a higher budget
For sure!
Same thought also!
That thumbnail alone scares me
Cooking with Jeffery reminded me of Pilot Red Sun
The really scary part is not closing the doors after checking the room, that makes me feel sooo vulnerable. And then you left the door open and the cutscene closed it for you xD
Jesus that scared the goddamn shit out of me
just as long as you don't miss the bowl like ABG did.
I got to wonder...doesn't that monster get tired of eating the same guy over and over again? LOL
>Very Intense Home Invasion horror Game with a Realistic Story
I expected robbers who knew you were home and didn't care, who were going to try to kill you, not a psycho ex stalker tbh.
After the protagonist pees at the start, I was waiting for Duke Nukem to shout "AAAAH that's good!"
fuck that first jump scare absolutely got me. holy fuck.
Ok, that outside area and laundry area is from a game called arcade paradise lmao I had to do a double take on that one
this game is crrsted by mukul negi. he goes by rayll everywhere. the game's trending btw!
Modern horror games, do you realize we all have flashlights on our phones?
17 sec speedrun moment
Whew , that game was really well-made . All the tiny minigames , the bicycle physics , the regularity of all the tasks and how easy it was to not check behind every crack in the door , and then YIKES(!) . i·m goNNA gET yu(!) .

i like how u did that laugh movement during watching teli
Channel 10 is a vibe of its own.

The tv shows feel like a giant Tim & Eric skit lol
Tim and Eric are definitely an inspiration for me lol

Ooh, its full now? Cool!

It's one of those screamer games, so just lower your volume and it will be fine.
What is with Horrors games starring Psychotic Exes lmao.
Yeah, this is like the 3rd game i've seen with this kind of plot in a short ammount of time.
It's a "flavour of the month" thing i guess.
She mast be was a strong woman if even drunk and high was such a formidable force to encounter. And to inflict mental trauma.
She does have a big kitchen knife too though!
cooking with jeffrey would do numbers on the internet today
There is some wonky pacing and writing in some parts, but I liked it. I feel this chapter is mainly an extension of Chapter 1’s concept, but that isn’t a bad thing. Chapter 2 was the weakest one so far imo.
I feel like I'm watching a pilotredsun video every time we go to watch TV
i love how the funny moments in every single episode are so unexpected like the “i spilled” part lol, it breaks the tension a little haha! ily sm alpha beta gamer !
I think I saw this story in UA-cam before, maybe from Mr Nightmare channel with Reddit story about house watching
I had a girl who turned evil as soon as she ran out of smack. Blonde, beautiful even if she swung a metal rod.
Party Hardy
@@IncredibleIceCastle , good morning to you too.
Oh sweet, new Fears to Fathom
Oh wow, I’m early!!! Looks like a promising video!!

EDIT: still the game was quite tense and that intruder jump scare really got me
I jumped a couple of times. This game looks pretty cool.
Isn't that the laundromat from Arcade Paradise?
Lmao you have to relax playing this. When you started pissing everywhere I forgot this was a horror game.
29:40 I don't know why but I laughed SO HARD at that 😂😂😂😂😂
“Can I come inside and wait out the rain?”
Sir you can get your ass back in your car. WTF 😂 HellToTheNO
that "the hand merchant" thing lmao
Reminds me of Chilla's Art games
Yeah! It's definitely got a similar vibe.
such a good game tbh, great atmosphere
Game's good, detailed, esp the convenience store, but not what I thought it was gonna be like. 😊
This is a representation, as far as possible, of David Lynch's dreams.....
yoo my man back with a banger
20:09
"My name is Noah. I'm 28 years old."
I hope this game be translated in Japanese
"Got too many hands to handle?"

That's some impressive urination. Didn't cause a single drop to hit the floor.
The way she limps toward you is super unnerving
My favorite gaming youtuber just played this yesterday. He said that the jump scare was the most terrifying he ever played.
Wow so ABG isn’t your favorite huh
33:40 lol
Slow burn indeed, game takes over 40 minutes to horror **yawns**
Whoever out there made this game you did an awesome job im lovin this right now have u made anything else thats here on abg
And this whole time i was hating on Mr Carson! Very well made! Also, as whole pizza? for one? LMAO
love this series
The real horror is the missing-DLL errors we get along the way
Smartest flag moment dude
