The idea of an Irishman barrelling through the doors of a shop and just collecting their groceries in a pile on the floor like a squirrel is so funny to me
A stranger breaking into and sneaking around your house should not make you feel “lowkey” uncomfortable, it should make you deeply and unimaginably uncomfortable.
@@DiscoChixify I’ve read under someone’s post that the ex was at the store when he was getting groceries. And maybe she overheard the conversation from his friends that he was house sitting at Carson’s
@@Josh2cold_ the grocery store thing would make sense if he wasn't on a bike. If she had a car, most people would notice they're being followed by a car, if she was running after him then that'd be more obvious. Too many plot holes in the story for it to be real
@grenslashgaming3230 44:15 is Noah’s notification sound, if you listen real close at 44:19, you can hear a little beeping sound, and that is cara’s notification sound. It’s really faint, but you can hear it.
I always hate when a horror game suddenly introduces a survival mechanic like sprinting, or zooming in, because you know shits gonna get real. But a pet being added is the worst
But somehow it's very rare games do anything to the dogs. I mean I get that it's horrible but I feel like it would make things so much more unsettling and distressing if that was exactly that, if whatever danger, especially if it's a person, went as far as do anything to the pet...
Jeezus dude everytime Jack switched to the Kitchen camera I always took note that there were 3 kitchen knives and then at 46:36 you see that there’s only 2 now! This game is brilliant!
Actually another one is, when he checked the cameras the living room door was closed, but at 46:43, the door is open. Just thought i'd mention it since people are discussing what they saw. :)
something i really love about Fears To Fathom is that Sean reacts to things with such hesitation and anxiety because even getting an unexpected pizza at the door or facing the opposite way of the front door and stairs can become dangerous for anyone. His hesitation before going outside while it’s dark, not wanting to leave the house, declining the pizza man for wanting to step inside even if the man had no ill intent. It’s all so real and such a raw instinct to be scared. i love these episodes and seeing how he reacts to it!
- to add on, when it comes down to the ex girlfriend in the house, seeing how Sean reacts to his fear and how it reflects his decisions and not wanting to make the wrong ones. To see how fast it declines from anxious speculation of “oh no he has security cameras with night vision” to real danger is what makes this game so scary and so good!
At 37:29, when Jack gets on the cameras, you can actually see her walking away from the porch close to the top right corner. As a viewer, it made this instantly more scary knowing that Jack didn't see her.
Some folks are born made to wave the flag Hoo, they're red, white and blue And when the band plays "Hail to the chief" Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no senator's son, son It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no furtunate one, no Some folks are born silver spoon in hand Lord, don't they help themselves, Lord? But when the taxman come to the door Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate one, no Yeah-yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes Hoo, they send you down to war, Lord And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"

what i love about fears to fathom is that these are the type of things that *could* happen to you. There's no apocalyptic situation with monsters trying to catch you, it's just a human seeking to hurt you, and I feel like that's what makes these types of games more terrifying than any other imo
indeed. I was nearly strangled to ⚰️ a week ago by an abusive partner. Suffice to say they're in jail for felonious assault. Thing is you NEVER think it'll really happen to YOU. It may cross your mind, you'll feel a bit uneasy or in my case the abuse never "went that far" until it does.... Life has to be better than this... at least I hope it is.
@@atmywhitson My goodness I hope you are alright now and in a better place without that person. Life can always get better it depends on our will and choices. Hope things work out for you moving forward!
@@fireironthesecond2909 yeah I don't think there's any way to really verify if these are "true stories", but someone still took time out of their day to write this all down and sent/posted it, so that's pretty cool at the end of the day
I sincerely doubt that these are actual stories submitted by actual people. The whole "submit your story" concept just makes for a unique premise for an episodic horror game.
@@fireironthesecond2909 all the F2F episodes are based off posts in the r/confession subreddit. Take that with a grain of salt though. The dev adds, removes, and exaggerates nearly every part of the OPs story. Yes, the stories are true, but not how the game depicts them. The original Reddit posts for all 3 stories were created 8+ years ago, and are hard to find because of how lightly based the episodes are from them
Fears to Fathom is easily one of the best horror experiences created in recent years; the simplistic yet eerily realistic scenarios that each chapter has to offer create perfect horror scenes that have you scared even when nothing is happening. Chilla's Art are also an amazing collection of games that share these same aspect, and it's the aspect that these stories (whether real or fake) can happen to ANYONE at ANYTIME. spooky monsters and dead children possessing things is cool and all, but REAL fear comes from the horrors that exist in our own world today.
Yeah, it's one thing to take enjoyment in media that relies on the paranormal, supernatural, monsters etc because we know realistically those things can't actually hurt us and don't exist...realistic horror that depicts real life scenarios that can and have happened to people is on a whole other level and it's such an underutilised form of horror
@@MysticSkyes having interactive hiding scenes with music that gets your anxiety high after actively running for your life in a game is pretty stressful as well
@@cindylou1338 tbh i was thinking of Alien Isolation when i first commented so yeah, exactly. games that play with anxiety are the best type of horror games imo
I love at 30:02 when he’s all like “Thank you☺️” and then slowly his smile fades and he’s like “WHAT IS THIS BOX OF CERAL DOING HERE??? I DIDNT GET THIS!” It makes me laugh so hard for some reason😭
@@slurpy-f3k exactly 🤣 caught me way of guard. I was like "what other shady stuff could you buy" 🤔🤔🤷 then he busts out with that. Had to pause I laughed so hard
I can't believe that Jack didn't even notice that the bouquet in the kitchen was missing at 47:24, and when he returned to the office at 48:47, it was on the floor, waiting for him. And he walked right over it!
Not everything is based on a true story even if someone says it is. At the very least some of these stories that are "based on true events" are exaggerated to make it sound spookier. It's similar to when a movie is supposedly based on a true story but there's no possible way the events that occur in the movie could happen in real life. Always take "based on a true story" with a grain of salt no matter who says it.
@@reminiscer15 Yes you are correct this is probably dramatized especially the talking with Cara part. But this is based in reality, there's nothing paranormal its a thing that really could happen to people and probably has, that's what in my opinion makes it scary.
something that kinda stuck with me was his friends phone number, it starts with a 513 area code and thats actually the area code i live in lmao it kinda makes me want to see if it got any attention on the news but then im like nahhhh thats enough internet for today
35:42 I'm just imagining that because of the creators knew that Jack has played "fears of fathom," they decided to make that scene just so Jack got scared hahaha
@@ShizurinXKiseki It was so perfect hahah! it's like she stopped moving, to like trying to remain undetected but then realizes the player already saw her. so she procceds to chase him. xD
Sudden spooky moments: 16:46 (very minor) TV is switched on with mildly disturbing visuals and audio. 19:45 (minor) the guys face on the info video flickers to a creepy cursed version, and the video becomes distorted and weird. When he reappears in step 2 he has no eyes. Then cursed dialogue can be heard, then ominous music followed by his face flickering around with black holes for eyes and mouth. 23:33 (v minor) truck comes from around corner. Drives into him, but the physics of the game just make it push him down the street. 26:18 (minor) elderly lady interrupts texting and gets up in your face to talk. 34:04 (moderate) opens the door... And nobody is there... He's just to the right when Sean steps out to check. 35:10 (minor) cameraman on tv looks to the left and there's a face in the window. The tv occasionally has some unsettling audio and imagery of weird people on it for the next minute or so. 36:49 (minor) turns TV back on to a creepy face. 40:59 (minor) Sean spots someone at the bottom right of the camera feed 42:52 (MAJOR) woman hiding around corner on right. Loud music sting as she gets up to chase Sean for a while, he yells. He gets caught after about 40 seconds of running. 49:15 (moderate) she's standing at the far end of the hall in the camera feed, waiting by the door. 50:27 (MAJOR) Sean peeks around corner. You hear the woman say "Noah?", Then a second later the horror sting music parts again and she chases Sean. Gets caught after a few seconds. 52:45 (minor) music sting as he ends the conversation. 53:17 (MAJOR) she enters the room and at this moment charges at Sean with the loud music sting again. Catches him. No more jumpy bits after that!
Honestly, this game had a such a good twist. From the beginning when it talks about Roy’s divorce and the angry fans sending threats, I was thinking that either the fans or the wife where going to come to the house and try to kill Noah. At first I had a feeling that Roy was quietly moving and let Noah take the heat. But learning that it was Noah’s ex was cool.
So often our fears all come back to the fear of the unknown. It's really interesting stuff. No one is afraid of the dark itself. We're all afraid of what the dark prevents us from seeing.
@@kiralonely Fear of the unknown, and fear of lacking control. For we like to tell ourselves that we can be in control of a situation, when in reality there's external forces that can and sometimes will overpower your control. Say you're deathly afraid of spiders. You're fine as long as there's no spiders around you. But when there are, you're scared because you've "lost" (proven you never had, more like) control of your environment and the object of your terror has now invaded your space. You are less afraid of not knowing whether if or not something is hiding in darkness. You're more afraid of not being able to do anything about it, i.e lacking control
lol exactly. I love being alone in my house in the woods, with just my pets. I get scared when I hear distinctly human noises outside. Thankfully it's usually just my brother showing up without calling ahead.
I really like how you start the game thinking the horror will be from this Carson guy’s weird ex-wife or her stans, only for it to be your character’s own past coming to get him. Nice little twist that you actually know what’s going on in the end.
@Al Sus media center Official People like attaching all sorts of traits and habits to ADHD, I wouldn’t take the comparison too seriously. If you’re genuinely curious, I’d suggest going to a doctor to get a diagnosis.
@@alsusmedia I'm saying it as someone who HAS adhd, it's not so simple as getting distracted, it's that he full on derailed from his initial task to explore and dig deep into unrelated things. It's true not everyone who does this has adhd but it happens way way more often in people who do.
@@TheRealClipit1 it's not that he isn't rushing, he full on forgets what he sets out to do in some games because something else steals his attention. It's like you're on a side quest and then you notice a fun little glitch or easter egg unrelated to the side quest but decide to spend the next hour playing with that instead and then forget what sidequest you were doing.
Now that I think about it, why was Zeke useless to take out the tweaker that was breaking into the house? And was she so strong from the drugs that she instantly murders Noah?
It was scary but then the running circles inside of the house bit had me dying of laughter bc could you imagine the sight of someone being chased by a killer and just running circles around the house screaming “omg omg what do I do! What do I do” instead locking the doors, hiding, calling for help etc. 😂😂
I’m 7 minutes in, nothing’s happened and I’m terrified. Fears to fathom is so scary that nothing even has to happen and I want to lock myself in a room forever lmao
@@DropTheDove yeah, I’m 40 minutes in now and I am absolutely pissing myself. It’s not been long enough for someone to post the jumpscare timestamps so I’m having to dive into this head first, which I never do with these videos 😭
@@lukastace3154 No I mean it wasn't working because his voice never actually seemed to bring her in there until way too much time had gone by. It doesn't feel like his voice really had an impact on her presence.
@@ImDrewZ Honestly I hate to see it. Don't know if youtubers do this "for the content" or what, but it isn't funny, it doesn't improve the experience; all it does is remove me from the video and make me cringe at how unbelievably stupid it is. Sean is hardly the only person to do this, but they all suck for doing it. Just...shut the fuck up. Why is that so difficult? Not even just during decibel meter mechanics, but during explanations, during exposition... you have all the time in the world to talk, stop doing it when you're not supposed to. For a "let's play" type experience, it's kind of ridiculous how often the people making the videos just...won't let the viewer enjoy the game along with them.
I just adore how F2F always puts little clues and stuff to the crap hitting the fan as the game progresses. It always starts small, and I love watching to see if I can find em all. You can see the girlfriend driving around the block from the very start of the game, and you even see her get in her car if you go to the grocery store parking lot before purchasing anything. She's in the security cameras MULTIPLE times which is horrifyingly awesome
Holy shit, this is genuinely messing with me. I was pet sitting for a friend when someone broke into the house through the basement. I was alerted to it by my friend’s security camera catching someone breaking in with a kitchen knife. I went home and her dad called the cop. The woman who broke in claimed to not want to cause harm. Its so eerily similar that im freaking out
And the fact they use story submissions, so much potential for panic inducing and horrifying episodes. There's bound to be one you can relate to and experienced.
I think it's safe to say that horror games without paranormal elements but only incorporates real-life scary situations are the scariest. Also I'd never want to live in a house that big. There's too many blind spots for strangers barging in and hiding.
I feel like that's the kinda house you have if you live with more people. It's one of those houses where it feels safe because other people would notice if someone was bumbling about or broke in, because more area is covered. Way too big for one person, or even a couple, though. Like, it's the kinda place where you need 2-3 bedrooms worth of people, at least.
30:15 most people dont know, but she's actually stalking you at the store and drives off to go back to your house. when the power goes out, her car is then outside your house.
Dad: “Lock the doors and make sure not to open the door for ANYONE. Got it?” Kid: “Yeah dad Ik.” Sean: **Proceeds to open the door for a disembodied knock**
Timestamp → [29:00] I'm just imagining Seán running around a grocery store in real life, grabbing different things & being like "PEAS!" "IS THAT PEAS?!" "AH!" "WHERE ARE YOUR PEAS?!" 😅 😂 😅
Hello, Jack! I have a game suggestion. BARK. It's a horror game where you play as a little dog (A Jack Russell Terrier).. You have to hide from a terrible monster that is your own owner, and scare away cats from your yard, and just try to survive. It's by a fellow called Vano. It's kind of a sad game, but gives a very interesting viewpoint of the perspective of the dog in an abusive household. Apparently it has 3 endings, though I've only seen one ending in a gameplay I watched. I hope this doesn't come off like I'm trying to give an ad, I just found out about it a couple of days ago and watched a gameplay and it seemed really cool :)
22:41 - room with green screen is clean 45:07 - chair has toppled down, umbrella moved to the sofa, essentially blocking the fireplace view, a slighted higher contrasted green is at the side of the umbrella, assume this is hair. If Jack noticed the chair toppled down atleast, he would've known someone was in the house prior to the oven.
JUMPSCARE LIST FOR YA'LL: 37:33 - someone walking in the background on camera (minor) 40:58 - someone walking next to camera (minor) 42:49 - WARNING HEADPHONE USERS same jumpscare as the beginning of the video and VERY loud unsettling noises (major) 43:17 - the character is caught (kind of scary) 44:08 - footsteps (minor) 49:12 - someone on camera and unsettling noise (kind of scary) 50:23 - WARNING HEADPHONE USERS character gets found and VERY loud unsettling noises (major) 52:40 - unsettling noise (kind of scary) 53:15 - WARNING HEADPHONE USERS character bursts into room and unsettling noises (major) 53:39 - voice detection sequence starts and horrible unsettling noises (kind of scary) 54:25 - really unsettling music picks up (kind of scary) END hope you guys enjoyed the video :D
The scariest thing about this was the fact that you didn't know where she was in the house at first. The way she was hid behind the door in the green screen room scared me so badly. I didn't know she hid behind the wall by the garage though, so that's pretty cool too.
I love how this one slowly built over time. Like the unsettling stuff only began at around 33:00 when the pizza guy came, and even that didn’t have anything to do with the girl but was purely just to make the player feel a little bit off. Pure genius.
I don’t know how fears to fathom has spread so quickly but they’re great - such a fun concept for a game series and I hope they have a lot more in the future!
This is so real for me as a part time pet sitter. I haven’t had someone break in thankfully, but I’m always on edge around night time when I pet sit. Every pet I sit is a great security system even better than the actual ones, just because their barking can scare people off and alert me to take action myself. Plus some places I sit at don’t have security so it’s always scary.
Same here! This game really targeted some of my biggest fears. Nothing like being alone in someone else's house at night when suddenly the dog starts barking....
I’m a pet sitter too and a few houses I’ve stayed at have had security systems more in depth than the ones in the game. I mean every lil angle I’m on camera so I already feel like I’m being watched but then there will be like a normal house noise or the dog will start barking for no reason and my heart just drops out of my ass. 🤣🤣 this one hit on that feeling a lot
@@Ash_NuggTato It's better to have lights on. The chance of a weirdo specifically targeting the house just to hurt you is incredibly low, chances are higher of a burglar (the chances of which are still incredibly low). Burglars are opportunistic because they don't want to get caught, and don't want to hurt the people they rob because that's a much more serious crime. Most burglars who end up hurting someone do so because they were caught in the act and panicked. So if they think people are in, they won't bother and instead will look for an easier target. So, lights on, curtains closed, always.
That is my fear not monsters or shit but real things like kidnappers and killers not a damn yeti and the worst part is when your alone it can happen at any time
Fears to fathom is so different from any other horror game because it always anyone who plays it no matter what. I think this is a truly revolutionary development.
I’m not usually terrified of games but this one (and a few others) have me completely and utterly horrified. All three stories so far have had me at the edge of my seat and I was trying to do homework. So I got way too invested in this and all that. What really made me realize how scared I was is when I left my room to get some water and my dad was standing just outside of it. Turns out, he was calling my name and wanted to talk about laundry but it spooked the hell out of me.
Now, when you say "talk about laundry," do you mean that he wanted to discuss laundry duties, or that he's a laundry enthusiast looking to chat about the finer points of detergent selection?
I always love when Jacksepticeye plays these short-ish horror games. I usually watch them while doing other things due to them being long and to be honest those are the best times of my life due to me mostly being relaxed at those times. Thanks Jacksepticeye!
Same. I had an unimaginably stressful day and nothing could get my mind off it. Then, for an hour, I was wholly engrossed in an Irishman's capacity to remain quiet in a laundry room while being stalked by Samara's equally unsettling cousin.
I love how he missed the whole crazy ex girlfriend thing and was like WHO IS SHE when he got attacked like it's the girl they talked about in the beginning 🤣
@@anwynolds3661 yea, so to summarize, (spoilers) Cara, 3 years older than the main character Noah, they started dating through an online dating site, unfortunately fast forward, Noah broke up with her and left on bad terms due to her intake on drugs.
I'd bet real money that the name Jack in the TV show was absolutely on purpose. They thanked him in their credits coz he plays their games and always has good things to say, and I'm sure they get a lot of traffic to their games through Jack's exposure, which leads me to believe that they put that in on purpose knowing he'd play it and get freaked out... Like when Poppy Playtime put Mark's birthday in it to mess with him. It's a great game, genuinely terrifying, and the listening mic is always a good tactic - If Sean could STAY QUIET!!! Damn, Jack have you ever played a horror game before?! 😂😂
He is a RUclips and he will always be a RUclips. RUclips is his soul, RUclips is his community and RUclips is a big part of his life but most importantly... RUclips is his family. I don't know why I said this.
The endings in these appear to generally be what happened to the person who made the story. Could you imagine submitting this story and then playing this game and then *seeing the outcomes if you had failed?* Like finding out what *could* have happened to you if you were just a little slower, a little dumber, or a little less lucky? That's some next level discomfort.
@@hunterwyatt6317 I also squeaked really loudly at another jumpscare, a sound that has never come from my mouth, but i gotta hand it to you on this one
The fact he missed that the flowers were on the floor of the security room after the oven incident and that he missed a knife being missing from the holder during same time nakes me question his awareness XD
fears of fathom games terrify me! I hate the idea of being home alone at night with someone possibly lurking in the dark waiting to jump out and kill me or something lol
This was a really good episode. My favorite out of the 3 so far. The cameras was similar to like Paranormal Activity, and the girl was just so creepy. Seriously this is one of the best horror games ever. What a genius idea to turn real stories into an episodic game you could play. Can't wait for the next one. Hope we get more after 5 too
I think the frequencies used for the screams invoke fear. The way the screams howl through different frequencies had hair standing up in different places all over my body in a cycle when he was running from her. First the actual hair on my head, then my arms, then my back and neck, and it went through a whole cycle. I’ve never had the hair in my head stand up from a horror game before. Not from Until Dawn, The Quarry, Outlast, the Man of Medan, not anything from the gas station horror game he played. Nothing else. This game is different, especially this story
(spoiler warning) Scares and Trypophobia warning: 0:02 Creepy woman 0:21 Shadow guy pops out 0:31 Guy around the corner 19:47 to 19:53 TRYPOPHOBIA WARNING (also a face without eyes) 35:41 Creepy voice says "Jack" (not too scary but funny reaction) 42:50 Creepy woman around the corner starts chasing him then catches him when he gets on the bike 47:33 Jack doesn't notice but you can see the large knife is missing from the knife block 49:15 Woman is in the end of the hallway on camera 07 50:26 The woman is around the corner and sprints at you 50:32 Woman catches and stabs the character 53:14 Room door opens and woman sprints in at you Lol I watched the whole video in full-screen for this ;-; Enjoy
I've had to deal with stalkers before. Or rather, my girlfriend did being the person of interest. But it was while we were dating. Definitely has made me a lot more protective during our relationship. I hope the person who told this story is recovering well. Stay safe everyone
28:26 I just learned about this today! The eggs are covered in what's called "bloom." It keeps the eggs from going bad after the bird lays them. Because of this, they don't need to be refrigerated until the bloom gets washed off.
“Go get me groceries, take this bike with no basket.” Lemme tell you from experience, trying to carry a plastic bag on your handlebars is a nightmare 😂
And the worst part isn't that it makes steering the bike harder. But god forbid you got something solid like a glass jar at the bottom and with every pedal you take you crack your fucking knee off of it.
i was keeping an eye on the knifes in the kitchen the whole video because i thought they were weirdly placed and thought jack could use one to fend of the big bad and when he went to the oven to turn it off near the end i INSTANTLY knew one of them was missing
@@Sammie0719 Oh man really? I used to watch his cartoon roasting videos years ago, and honestly forgot about him for a while, it's so cool seeing him in a game series I love
I really appreciate how immersed you get into games like these. These are all based on true stories so I love that you give them a fair shot. I think you're name is in there because you play the episodes so thoroughly and it makes people like me want to get the game too!
@@angrytoaster4805 I’m so glad someone else heard it lmao. Crazy part is, it really does a good job sounding creepy. I mean, it doesn’t creep me out, because I heard it WAY to much lol.
I saw the title and thumbnail, and instantly thought "Could this be? Is it finally time for the return of Fears to Fathom?" These, along with Chilla's Art and Puppet Combo games, are my favorite indie horror games to watch you play! I'm so excited for this one!
The thing that i like about these games is that they're each getting progressively more immersive and interactive, yet staying terrifying. It's the perfect balance of horror and thought
That sound they played when she comes after you is H.O.R.R.I.F.I.N.G. Also, I love Sean's reactions. They are truly genuine. Some horror game players you can tell they're faking it. Not Sean. No, those screams are genuine. Also, also... I probably shouldn’t be watching this late at night in the dark while I'm the only one ho.da......dasgadh.......
Horror games/movies late at night when you live alone is worse. Every sound you hear freaks you right out, then you look and its just your cat knocking stuff over
I love horror stuff but I CANNOT handle it. Does that make sense lmao. But yeah that sound was terrifying. Paused it so many times cuz I couldn’t get thru it. And I was watching it in a pitch black room at 4:43 am….. why
@@Gejokono sameee here. It’s weird isn’t it? I get scared so easily, the music pretty much put me on the edge. Yet for some reason I love horror too and just can’t help myself but watch these videos, and the cherry on top is I always do it to myself during the middle of the night, at the worst possible time lmaoo
I really love the idea of having horror stories being turned into a game. Such a unique and interesting way to create, but it also shows that this could happen to anyone and i think that's what makes these so terrifying.
So...Episode 1 was about Being Home Alone and Episode 2 was about being in the middle of nowhere staying in motel. And Episode 3 is about The Crazy Yandere EX-Girlfriend damn these Fears of Fathom video keep getting scarier every time.... Keep it up
This game made me so viscerally uncomfortable I had to stop, sleep and then pick it up again during the day after. Someone breaking in my house is one of my worst fears
All the F2F instalments are so well crafted and paced. Rayll really makes it feel like a real person recounting a story, and the text message mechanic creates just the right uncomfortable atmosphere. Also, Jack having a meltdown over weird American groceries was hilarious
Do you think the pizza delivery guy had anything to do with Cara? I mean, he DID say it wasn't safe out. Granted, he was just talking about the rainstorm, but still...
That first scare actually gave me goosebumps, and made me extremely uneasy. Watching this at night with ear buds in with my back to a door is terrifying at night
these are the games I find scariest really, cus when you think about it your playing it KNOWING that something is wrong. But when the person is going through it they just see it as normal, it not until later that they themselves know how bad it could have been
The funniest thing guys vs girls reaction to the pizza, guys were "woooo, free pizza!", girls were "I'm not eating that, you don't know what they did to that pizza that I didn't ordered" and only ate after the message from Carson hahaha.
This is the type of game that plays right into my (and many of our) worst fears, and in my opinion, it's so incredibly well done. The jumpscares are nothing compared to the intense and lasting paranoia that sets in. One of the most effective parts is that (aside from hiding with a knife and a frying pan the entire time) the main character does some things that we might do in a similar situation, and so that element of realism is terrifying. It's not like some horror movies in which the protagonist yells out "HellO? AnYoNe ThErE?" Walking into the darkness, leaving all the doors open. It doesnt much allow for you to hide behind the character's stupidity. Instead, a very visceral, mortal dread is allowed to develop, a realisation of your own vulnerability. And I imagine the weight of your choices- as the one directly playing the game- are amplified further as you witness their consequences playing out in front of you. I am deeply fascinated by, and admire the ability that some game/content creators have, to so effectively manipulate emotions, especially fear. I'd love to hear your opinion too if you have one!
45:07 i know it’s 9mo late but you can 1000% see that the lights have all been toppled over/moved and i’m fairly sure you can see her hiding behind one of them. if you went down to that room, she’s hiding in the corner of the room, and eventually leaves out the back/side door, leaving it open.
Seán: "Do you think Jacksepticeye would go out of his way to help an _old lady_ find _mustard_ in a shop? _NO!_ I'd _punch_ the lady, _steal her money,_ and _leave!"_ Me: "Now, _Seán McLoughlin_ might, he's a nice lad. But that Jacksepticeye? He's a right _menace."_
The idea of an Irishman barrelling through the doors of a shop and just collecting their groceries in a pile on the floor like a squirrel is so funny to me

He put the items in the corner of shame, while dealing with people in the store, he’s that good
"Like a squirrel" lmfao ok that made me laugh
A stranger breaking into and sneaking around your house should not make you feel “lowkey” uncomfortable, it should make you deeply and unimaginably uncomfortable.
It’s not even his house. He was watching someone else’s house. How did the chick find him there? That’s the craziest part.
@@DiscoChixify I’ve read under someone’s post that the ex was at the store when he was getting groceries. And maybe she overheard the conversation from his friends that he was house sitting at Carson’s
@@Josh2cold_ I'm calling bullshit on the story honestly. Would make for a damn good movie tho
@@simplekid4328 yeah I agree. I wish they would’ve explained how tf she knew where he was.
@@Josh2cold_ the grocery store thing would make sense if he wasn't on a bike. If she had a car, most people would notice they're being followed by a car, if she was running after him then that'd be more obvious. Too many plot holes in the story for it to be real
The SPEED at which jack immediately closed the basement door again when he found it brought me great joy.

I feel like any horror game gets 1000x more intense when there’s a dog added. The entire time I was like “but is the dog ok?!?!”
I always hate when a horror game suddenly introduces a survival mechanic like sprinting, or zooming in, because you know shits gonna get real. But a pet being added is the worst
Saaaame.
I think it stopped barking at some point.
...shit.
@@Wolffman109 It was in it's kennel, asleep. I made sure of it before the ending so it's fine
But somehow it's very rare games do anything to the dogs. I mean I get that it's horrible but I feel like it would make things so much more unsettling and distressing if that was exactly that, if whatever danger, especially if it's a person, went as far as do anything to the pet...
Jeezus dude everytime Jack switched to the Kitchen camera I always took note that there were 3 kitchen knives and then at 46:36 you see that there’s only 2 now! This game is brilliant!

@@Jjmae98 Holy- I’m surprised you noticed that! That’s so hard to see

@@Jjmae98 holy cheesecake! Good eye man!
Actually another one is, when he checked the cameras the living room door was closed, but at 46:43, the door is open. Just thought i'd mention it since people are discussing what they saw. :)
something i really love about Fears To Fathom is that Sean reacts to things with such hesitation and anxiety because even getting an unexpected pizza at the door or facing the opposite way of the front door and stairs can become dangerous for anyone. His hesitation before going outside while it’s dark, not wanting to leave the house, declining the pizza man for wanting to step inside even if the man had no ill intent. It’s all so real and such a raw instinct to be scared. i love these episodes and seeing how he reacts to it!
- to add on, when it comes down to the ex girlfriend in the house, seeing how Sean reacts to his fear and how it reflects his decisions and not wanting to make the wrong ones. To see how fast it declines from anxious speculation of “oh no he has security cameras with night vision” to real danger is what makes this game so scary and so good!
Every youtuber I've seen has had the same reactions
@@gaminganimators7000 probably because it’s a very human reaction, which the original commenter was saying is relatable and they enjoy.
What happens if you let the pizza guy in then? Maybe it’ll be like one of the other stories where he helps catch the intruder?
@@pokaay3163i dont know if you can
At 37:29, when Jack gets on the cameras, you can actually see her walking away from the porch close to the top right corner. As a viewer, it made this instantly more scary knowing that Jack didn't see her.

what i love about fears to fathom is that these are the type of things that *could* happen to you. There's no apocalyptic situation with monsters trying to catch you, it's just a human seeking to hurt you, and I feel like that's what makes these types of games more terrifying than any other imo
humans are the most terrifying thing to exist
indeed.
I was nearly strangled to ⚰️ a week ago by an abusive partner.
Suffice to say they're in jail for felonious assault.
Thing is you NEVER think it'll really happen to YOU. It may cross your mind, you'll feel a bit uneasy or in my case the abuse never "went that far" until it does....
Life has to be better than this... at least I hope it is.
@@atmywhitson My goodness I hope you are alright now and in a better place without that person. Life can always get better it depends on our will and choices. Hope things work out for you moving forward!

@@atmywhitson sorry that happened to you wish you all the best.
The fact this is based on someone’s real story is terrifying. If it’s true then he actually narrowly escaped being killed by his ex
i have an ex similar to this, fucker stalked me and spread rumors about me all the time. Scary shit
Is it based off real stories or internet stories?
If I remember right these are stories sent in so not necessarily true but idk 🤷♂️
@@fireironthesecond2909 yeah I don't think there's any way to really verify if these are "true stories", but someone still took time out of their day to write this all down and sent/posted it, so that's pretty cool at the end of the day
I sincerely doubt that these are actual stories submitted by actual people. The whole "submit your story" concept just makes for a unique premise for an episodic horror game.
@@fireironthesecond2909 all the F2F episodes are based off posts in the r/confession subreddit. Take that with a grain of salt though. The dev adds, removes, and exaggerates nearly every part of the OPs story. Yes, the stories are true, but not how the game depicts them. The original Reddit posts for all 3 stories were created 8+ years ago, and are hard to find because of how lightly based the episodes are from them
35:42 was by far the funniest part to me because he was so concerned when it said “jack” and you could see the fear and confusion on his face

Fears to Fathom is easily one of the best horror experiences created in recent years; the simplistic yet eerily realistic scenarios that each chapter has to offer create perfect horror scenes that have you scared even when nothing is happening. Chilla's Art are also an amazing collection of games that share these same aspect, and it's the aspect that these stories (whether real or fake) can happen to ANYONE at ANYTIME. spooky monsters and dead children possessing things is cool and all, but REAL fear comes from the horrors that exist in our own world today.
Aren't each of these stories supposed to be based on letters people have sent Chilla?
Yeah, it's one thing to take enjoyment in media that relies on the paranormal, supernatural, monsters etc because we know realistically those things can't actually hurt us and don't exist...realistic horror that depicts real life scenarios that can and have happened to people is on a whole other level and it's such an underutilised form of horror
Totally agree!
@@Nezumis they are but I think what they were saying was that the person who sent in the letter could just be making it up
I've never played this! would absolutely love to but think I might be scared on my own x
The way I was screaming, "JACK SHUT THE F*CK UP" when he was trying to whisper to us was phenomenal
Fr bro man just keeps talking and you sit there like 😬😬😬😬😬
Every horror game gets scarier when they introduce these mechanics:
Crouching
Running
Hiding
Looking through blinds
Locking doors
Also:
Pets
I don’t want them to die :(
might i add- holding your breath while hiding
@@MysticSkyes having interactive hiding scenes with music that gets your anxiety high after actively running for your life in a game is pretty stressful as well

The fact that the game does that is so funny 😂

SPEEEEEED IS KEEEEEEY
True😂😂
The fact that this was based on a true story is what makes this horror game better than most… and absolutely terrifying
You'd believe everything wouldn't you
Not everything is based on a true story even if someone says it is. At the very least some of these stories that are "based on true events" are exaggerated to make it sound spookier. It's similar to when a movie is supposedly based on a true story but there's no possible way the events that occur in the movie could happen in real life. Always take "based on a true story" with a grain of salt no matter who says it.
@@reminiscer15 Yes you are correct this is probably dramatized especially the talking with Cara part. But this is based in reality, there's nothing paranormal its a thing that really could happen to people and probably has, that's what in my opinion makes it scary.

ye, that was a very enjoyable moment
Sudden spooky moments:
16:46 (very minor) TV is switched on with mildly disturbing visuals and audio.
19:45 (minor) the guys face on the info video flickers to a creepy cursed version, and the video becomes distorted and weird. When he reappears in step 2 he has no eyes. Then cursed dialogue can be heard, then ominous music followed by his face flickering around with black holes for eyes and mouth.
23:33 (v minor) truck comes from around corner. Drives into him, but the physics of the game just make it push him down the street.
26:18 (minor) elderly lady interrupts texting and gets up in your face to talk.
34:04 (moderate) opens the door... And nobody is there... He's just to the right when Sean steps out to check.
35:10 (minor) cameraman on tv looks to the left and there's a face in the window.
The tv occasionally has some unsettling audio and imagery of weird people on it for the next minute or so.
36:49 (minor) turns TV back on to a creepy face.
40:59 (minor) Sean spots someone at the bottom right of the camera feed
42:52 (MAJOR) woman hiding around corner on right. Loud music sting as she gets up to chase Sean for a while, he yells. He gets caught after about 40 seconds of running.
49:15 (moderate) she's standing at the far end of the hall in the camera feed, waiting by the door.
50:27 (MAJOR) Sean peeks around corner. You hear the woman say "Noah?", Then a second later the horror sting music parts again and she chases Sean. Gets caught after a few seconds.
52:45 (minor) music sting as he ends the conversation.
53:17 (MAJOR) she enters the room and at this moment charges at Sean with the loud music sting again. Catches him.
No more jumpy bits after that!

You are the best
and at 47:22 u can see that there are only 2 Knives in the wooden block. Before it was 3, but Cara took one.
Thank you so much for this m8 ✊🏽

Honestly, this game had a such a good twist. From the beginning when it talks about Roy’s divorce and the angry fans sending threats, I was thinking that either the fans or the wife where going to come to the house and try to kill Noah. At first I had a feeling that Roy was quietly moving and let Noah take the heat. But learning that it was Noah’s ex was cool.
They also threw in the pizza delivery guy ringing the bell as a red herring.
Whoa spoilers dude just ruined the whole plot twist
@@torakunoichi why would you go in the comments? There are gonna be spoilers
@@torakunoichi whoa dude. That's your fault. Whoa dude
Question is how did she know he was there?
Fun Fact: You are not actually scared of being alone, you are scared of NOT being alone
So often our fears all come back to the fear of the unknown. It's really interesting stuff. No one is afraid of the dark itself. We're all afraid of what the dark prevents us from seeing.
@@kiralonely Fear of the unknown, and fear of lacking control. For we like to tell ourselves that we can be in control of a situation, when in reality there's external forces that can and sometimes will overpower your control.
Say you're deathly afraid of spiders. You're fine as long as there's no spiders around you.
But when there are, you're scared because you've "lost" (proven you never had, more like) control of your environment and the object of your terror has now invaded your space.
You are less afraid of not knowing whether if or not something is hiding in darkness. You're more afraid of not being able to do anything about it, i.e lacking control
well no, im scared of everyone leaving me and. being literally alone, no friends, no family, not even close acquaintances or coworkers
lol exactly. I love being alone in my house in the woods, with just my pets. I get scared when I hear distinctly human noises outside. Thankfully it's usually just my brother showing up without calling ahead.
I'm scared of both
I really like how you start the game thinking the horror will be from this Carson guy’s weird ex-wife or her stans, only for it to be your character’s own past coming to get him. Nice little twist that you actually know what’s going on in the end.
It's a nice twist but how did his ex know he was housesitting at Roy's house? Unless it went over my head, I feel like it kinda came outta nowhere

@@alsusmedia I'm saying it as someone who HAS adhd, it's not so simple as getting distracted, it's that he full on derailed from his initial task to explore and dig deep into unrelated things. It's true not everyone who does this has adhd but it happens way way more often in people who do.
@@VancePantss I see what you mean but when I'm playing a game, I don't rush through the main storyline I do the side quests first
@@TheRealClipit1 it's not that he isn't rushing, he full on forgets what he sets out to do in some games because something else steals his attention.

I just adore how F2F always puts little clues and stuff to the crap hitting the fan as the game progresses. It always starts small, and I love watching to see if I can find em all.

She's in the security cameras MULTIPLE times which is horrifyingly awesome
It's rare for a horror game to make me scared to this degree. Especially when the sun's out and my whole family is home.

I think it's safe to say that horror games without paranormal elements but only incorporates real-life scary situations are the scariest.
Also I'd never want to live in a house that big. There's too many blind spots for strangers barging in and hiding.
I feel like that's the kinda house you have if you live with more people. It's one of those houses where it feels safe because other people would notice if someone was bumbling about or broke in, because more area is covered. Way too big for one person, or even a couple, though. Like, it's the kinda place where you need 2-3 bedrooms worth of people, at least.

Hello, Jack! I have a game suggestion.
BARK.
It's a horror game where you play as a little dog (A Jack Russell Terrier).. You have to hide from a terrible monster that is your own owner, and scare away cats from your yard, and just try to survive. It's by a fellow called Vano. It's kind of a sad game, but gives a very interesting viewpoint of the perspective of the dog in an abusive household. Apparently it has 3 endings, though I've only seen one ending in a gameplay I watched.
I hope this doesn't come off like I'm trying to give an ad, I just found out about it a couple of days ago and watched a gameplay and it seemed really cool :)
that seem cool. hoping for him to notice
Hope he plays it
Oh no that'll just make me sad, I start to tear up just imagining animals or kids in abusive homes
It sounds both depressing and awesome, I hope he sees this!
I really like the way you wrote and phrased this comment. It's the same style and manner I strive for.
27:15 the literal definition of “let me drop everything to help you”
22:41 - room with green screen is clean
45:07 - chair has toppled down, umbrella moved to the sofa, essentially blocking the fireplace view, a slighted higher contrasted green is at the side of the umbrella, assume this is hair.
If Jack noticed the chair toppled down atleast, he would've known someone was in the house prior to the oven.
Omg thank you

Fears to fathom and games by chilla’s art are some of my favourites of jacks horror game series(and puppet combo)
You can't forget puppet combo
and puppet combo
The scariest thing about this was the fact that you didn't know where she was in the house at first. The way she was hid behind the door in the green screen room scared me so badly. I didn't know she hid behind the wall by the garage though, so that's pretty cool too.
I love how this one slowly built over time. Like the unsettling stuff only began at around 33:00 when the pizza guy came, and even that didn’t have anything to do with the girl but was purely just to make the player feel a little bit off. Pure genius.
I don’t know how fears to fathom has spread so quickly but they’re great - such a fun concept for a game series and I hope they have a lot more in the future!

@@Mr.BananaManYT - Exactly.
This is so real for me as a part time pet sitter. I haven’t had someone break in thankfully, but I’m always on edge around night time when I pet sit. Every pet I sit is a great security system even better than the actual ones, just because their barking can scare people off and alert me to take action myself. Plus some places I sit at don’t have security so it’s always scary.
Same here! This game really targeted some of my biggest fears. Nothing like being alone in someone else's house at night when suddenly the dog starts barking....
I’m a pet sitter too and a few houses I’ve stayed at have had security systems more in depth than the ones in the game. I mean every lil angle I’m on camera so I already feel like I’m being watched but then there will be like a normal house noise or the dog will start barking for no reason and my heart just drops out of my ass. 🤣🤣 this one hit on that feeling a lot
Do you have the whole house dark too or do you have lights on?
@@Ash_NuggTato It's better to have lights on. The chance of a weirdo specifically targeting the house just to hurt you is incredibly low, chances are higher of a burglar (the chances of which are still incredibly low). Burglars are opportunistic because they don't want to get caught, and don't want to hurt the people they rob because that's a much more serious crime. Most burglars who end up hurting someone do so because they were caught in the act and panicked. So if they think people are in, they won't bother and instead will look for an easier target. So, lights on, curtains closed, always.
I love how this game highlights REAL horror. All of these stories could happen to any of us and that's what makes them so impactful.
That is my fear not monsters or shit but real things like kidnappers and killers not a damn yeti and the worst part is when your alone it can happen at any time
@@pogfog7985 Check ur window.
I had my fair share OF scary thing in IRL BUT nothing releted to house sitting or drive just yet... or working for that matter.
Nah bro now u got me thinking abt it 💀
@@pogfog7985 fr like things like chucky ain’t scary or friday the 13th but real stuff
Fears to fathom is so different from any other horror game because it always anyone who plays it no matter what. I think this is a truly revolutionary development.
It envokes fear to fathom this sentence
huh?
I’m not usually terrified of games but this one (and a few others) have me completely and utterly horrified. All three stories so far have had me at the edge of my seat and I was trying to do homework. So I got way too invested in this and all that. What really made me realize how scared I was is when I left my room to get some water and my dad was standing just outside of it. Turns out, he was calling my name and wanted to talk about laundry but it spooked the hell out of me.
Now, when you say "talk about laundry," do you mean that he wanted to discuss laundry duties, or that he's a laundry enthusiast looking to chat about the finer points of detergent selection?
@@kenjutsukata1o1 As much as I’d love it to be both, it’s just laundry duties.
I’m trying to finish an art project while I watch this and I keep getting scared and becoming to focused on the game lol
That green screen setup in the game is insane, i'd be jealous if they weren't all stuick in a horror game n all
🧡
For real small Pokémon RUclipsr! (Love your videos and skits man)
He’s making some epic streaming content with that
Too bad it gets trashed later in the game.
I always love when Jacksepticeye plays these short-ish horror games. I usually watch them while doing other things due to them being long and to be honest those are the best times of my life due to me mostly being relaxed at those times. Thanks Jacksepticeye!
Totally agree! My favourite gaming videos to watch is Jack on the scaries 😄
I agree he's just so laid back and relaxed its just something to calm down and watch
Same. I had an unimaginably stressful day and nothing could get my mind off it. Then, for an hour, I was wholly engrossed in an Irishman's capacity to remain quiet in a laundry room while being stalked by Samara's equally unsettling cousin.
This entire time I've been screaming to get the dog inside to safety! Save Zeke!!!!
I love how he missed the whole crazy ex girlfriend thing and was like WHO IS SHE when he got attacked like it's the girl they talked about in the beginning 🤣
wait I'm kinda confused was it kara the girl he talked about in the text with evelyn?
@@anwynolds3661 yea, so to summarize, (spoilers)
Cara, 3 years older than the main character Noah, they started dating through an online dating site, unfortunately fast forward, Noah broke up with her and left on bad terms due to her intake on drugs.
I'd bet real money that the name Jack in the TV show was absolutely on purpose. They thanked him in their credits coz he plays their games and always has good things to say, and I'm sure they get a lot of traffic to their games through Jack's exposure, which leads me to believe that they put that in on purpose knowing he'd play it and get freaked out... Like when Poppy Playtime put Mark's birthday in it to mess with him.
It's a great game, genuinely terrifying, and the listening mic is always a good tactic - If Sean could STAY QUIET!!! Damn, Jack have you ever played a horror game before?! 😂😂
"I woulda gotten alcohol, weed... PUSSY" got me absolutely cracking up
I totally agree with Jack on this lol
Timestamp?
@@gaid6512 30:10
Jacksepticeye truly is a RUclips
Jacker septs the tit eye is truly a youber
Yes
He is a RUclips and he will always be a RUclips. RUclips is his soul, RUclips is his community and RUclips is a big part of his life but most importantly... RUclips is his family.
I don't know why I said this.
@@tristinfaw it’s a trip reading this high
@@morningawesome Well, he is a true RUclips after all. Why am I still going with this?
Dogs are the best guards INSIDE the house where I can cuddle him when we're both terrified
The endings in these appear to generally be what happened to the person who made the story. Could you imagine submitting this story and then playing this game and then *seeing the outcomes if you had failed?*
Like finding out what *could* have happened to you if you were just a little slower, a little dumber, or a little less lucky? That's some next level discomfort.
This made me smile as I saw it in my sub box; enjoying these a lot!
It would make me smile if he played the little inferno sequel
Good to see other big RUclipsrs watching other big RUclipsrs
hello
This seems like one of those botted comments. No reference to the video itself.
Not saying commenter is a bot, but the comment seems botted.
Woah didnt expect to see you here (not a bad thing though)
How to get not scared at anything in horror games.
Step 1:
Start singing ayyy Marcarena
Or just keep saying bubbles! Also, singing the Macarena but not knowing the words so just making them up is helpful!
Sing it using the months of the year
That’s the only lyrics I remember and that was kindergarten but it still works for this TvT
Much needed.
23:34 I love this part so much, the truck literally just pushes you
42:48 I've never flinched so hard before
All you did was flinched I about shit my self
@@hunterwyatt6317 I also squeaked really loudly at another jumpscare, a sound that has never come from my mouth, but i gotta hand it to you on this one
@@naan000 🤣nice
bro my little sister started crying cause of the jump i made from that scare
how did you flinch? jack spoilt it at the very beginning of the vid
The fact he missed that the flowers were on the floor of the security room after the oven incident and that he missed a knife being missing from the holder during same time nakes me question his awareness XD
fears of fathom games terrify me! I hate the idea of being home alone at night with someone possibly lurking in the dark waiting to jump out and kill me or something lol
i hate to be that guy, but a gun helps.
This was a really good episode. My favorite out of the 3 so far.
The cameras was similar to like Paranormal Activity, and the girl was just so creepy.
Seriously this is one of the best horror games ever. What a genius idea to turn real stories into an episodic game you could play. Can't wait for the next one. Hope we get more after 5 too
I think the frequencies used for the screams invoke fear. The way the screams howl through different frequencies had hair standing up in different places all over my body in a cycle when he was running from her. First the actual hair on my head, then my arms, then my back and neck, and it went through a whole cycle. I’ve never had the hair in my head stand up from a horror game before. Not from Until Dawn, The Quarry, Outlast, the Man of Medan, not anything from the gas station horror game he played. Nothing else. This game is different, especially this story
(spoiler warning)
Scares and Trypophobia warning:
0:02 Creepy woman
0:21 Shadow guy pops out
0:31 Guy around the corner
19:47 to 19:53 TRYPOPHOBIA WARNING (also a face without eyes)
35:41 Creepy voice says "Jack" (not too scary but funny reaction)
42:50 Creepy woman around the corner starts chasing him then catches him when he gets on the bike
47:33 Jack doesn't notice but you can see the large knife is missing from the knife block
49:15 Woman is in the end of the hallway on camera 07
50:26 The woman is around the corner and sprints at you
50:32 Woman catches and stabs the character
53:14 Room door opens and woman sprints in at you
Lol I watched the whole video in full-screen for this ;-; Enjoy
you are a saint
Thank you so much.
thank u
Bless you! You’re awesome. Hope you have the bestest day ever!
Thank you for the trypophobia warning!!
I've had to deal with stalkers before. Or rather, my girlfriend did being the person of interest. But it was while we were dating. Definitely has made me a lot more protective during our relationship. I hope the person who told this story is recovering well.
Stay safe everyone
fears to fathom and chillas art are my favorite games to watch jack play YESSS
omg i love your pfp!!!
Puppet Combo too!
True!!! Chilla's my fav now
sameee. idk why MoistCritikal hates on them so much, especially chilla's stuff. like yea, it's not super high effort, but they're fun and cheap.
@@amiccus_ i love moist but sometimes his takes suck 😭
28:26 I just learned about this today! The eggs are covered in what's called "bloom." It keeps the eggs from going bad after the bird lays them. Because of this, they don't need to be refrigerated until the bloom gets washed off.
“Go get me groceries, take this bike with no basket.” Lemme tell you from experience, trying to carry a plastic bag on your handlebars is a nightmare 😂
Not if the bag's empty.
Oh man I've been there too. I can imagine a paper bag would be much worse XD
@@Wolffman109 Well yes, obviously lol
And the worst part isn't that it makes steering the bike harder. But god forbid you got something solid like a glass jar at the bottom and with every pedal you take you crack your fucking knee off of it.
Me a dutchy be like... amateur
i was keeping an eye on the knifes in the kitchen the whole video because i thought they were weirdly placed and thought jack could use one to fend of the big bad and when he went to the oven to turn it off near the end i INSTANTLY knew one of them was missing
wow I love when games add details like that when they aren't obvious
The pure joy of knowing that Berleezy voiced Jeffrey made a permanent smile on my face. So fitting lmao
yeah im so glad he actually was ok with my script lol
@@natvishion that’s honestly so cool tho! I think he was pretty dope with it too
@@Sammie0719 Oh man really? I used to watch his cartoon roasting videos years ago, and honestly forgot about him for a while, it's so cool seeing him in a game series I love
@@MLH_1231 you should watch him now! His gaming channel is fire too. He loves him some indie horror games
What are you talking about?
I really appreciate how immersed you get into games like these. These are all based on true stories so I love that you give them a fair shot. I think you're name is in there because you play the episodes so thoroughly and it makes people like me want to get the game too!
New fears for fathom, time to laugh at Sean and pretend I’m not as scared as he is
Vex, doesn’t this sound like music from Og Destiny?
@@ryanclune3883 kind of yeah
@@vexmythoclast6138 like og cosmodrome music lmao
@@ryanclune3883 bro I thought I was going crazy I immediately recognized the cosmodrome theme when you spawn in
@@angrytoaster4805 I’m so glad someone else heard it lmao. Crazy part is, it really does a good job sounding creepy. I mean, it doesn’t creep me out, because I heard it WAY to much lol.
I saw the title and thumbnail, and instantly thought "Could this be? Is it finally time for the return of Fears to Fathom?" These, along with Chilla's Art and Puppet Combo games, are my favorite indie horror games to watch you play! I'm so excited for this one!
IM SCREAM LAUGHING AT THE FACT HE THOUGHT THE TV WAS SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO HIM
Are you though 😂
@@Embeeech ??
does anyone else just watch these indie horror play throughs on repeat like 30 times each
The thing that i like about these games is that they're each getting progressively more immersive and interactive, yet staying terrifying. It's the perfect balance of horror and thought
That sound they played when she comes after you is H.O.R.R.I.F.I.N.G. Also, I love Sean's reactions. They are truly genuine. Some horror game players you can tell they're faking it. Not Sean. No, those screams are genuine.
Also, also... I probably shouldn’t be watching this late at night in the dark while I'm the only one ho.da......dasgadh.......
Horror games/movies late at night when you live alone is worse. Every sound you hear freaks you right out, then you look and its just your cat knocking stuff over
@@ClockworkCouture. it's worse if you don't have a cat
I love horror stuff but I CANNOT handle it. Does that make sense lmao. But yeah that sound was terrifying. Paused it so many times cuz I couldn’t get thru it. And I was watching it in a pitch black room at 4:43 am….. why
@@Gejokono Totally understand. I love zombie shooter games, tried that in VR once. Once. Never again.
@@Gejokono sameee here. It’s weird isn’t it? I get scared so easily, the music pretty much put me on the edge. Yet for some reason I love horror too and just can’t help myself but watch these videos, and the cherry on top is I always do it to myself during the middle of the night, at the worst possible time lmaoo
I really love the idea of having horror stories being turned into a game. Such a unique and interesting way to create, but it also shows that this could happen to anyone and i think that's what makes these so terrifying.
So...Episode 1 was about Being Home Alone and Episode 2 was about being in the middle of nowhere staying in motel. And Episode 3 is about The Crazy Yandere EX-Girlfriend damn these Fears of Fathom video keep getting scarier every time.... Keep it up
This game made me so viscerally uncomfortable I had to stop, sleep and then pick it up again during the day after. Someone breaking in my house is one of my worst fears
All the F2F instalments are so well crafted and paced. Rayll really makes it feel like a real person recounting a story, and the text message mechanic creates just the right uncomfortable atmosphere. Also, Jack having a meltdown over weird American groceries was hilarious
@Hugh these are some world class six year old story tellers then damn
I was just wondering what would happen if Jack let the pizza delivery guy in the house.
I don’t know if there was an option too but I wish he would let the man in if there was
@@DrunkOnHumour there wasn't :( all three answers are just _no_ bbut worded differently
Do you think the pizza delivery guy had anything to do with Cara? I mean, he DID say it wasn't safe out. Granted, he was just talking about the rainstorm, but still...
That first scare actually gave me goosebumps, and made me extremely uneasy. Watching this at night with ear buds in with my back to a door is terrifying at night
@@annoyanceking Scary as hell isn't it?
Oh gosh you guys are crazy, I have my door facing me 😭
i love how he is incredibly scared about something but goes to check it out and screms his heart out
Honestly props to him for having the courage to, I would just crouch in a corner scared for my life
these are the games I find scariest really, cus when you think about it your playing it KNOWING that something is wrong. But when the person is going through it they just see it as normal, it not until later that they themselves know how bad it could have been
The funniest thing guys vs girls reaction to the pizza, guys were "woooo, free pizza!", girls were "I'm not eating that, you don't know what they did to that pizza that I didn't ordered" and only ate after the message from Carson hahaha.
"why does women always live longer than men?"
lmao yes my first thought was what if the person outside did something to it hell no
They thanked you because you've been showcasing and bringing a lot of attention to the entire series, not just this one. 💜
Lean heart
This is the type of game that plays right into my (and many of our) worst fears, and in my opinion, it's so incredibly well done. The jumpscares are nothing compared to the intense and lasting paranoia that sets in. One of the most effective parts is that (aside from hiding with a knife and a frying pan the entire time) the main character does some things that we might do in a similar situation, and so that element of realism is terrifying. It's not like some horror movies in which the protagonist yells out "HellO? AnYoNe ThErE?" Walking into the darkness, leaving all the doors open. It doesnt much allow for you to hide behind the character's stupidity.
Instead, a very visceral, mortal dread is allowed to develop, a realisation of your own vulnerability.
And I imagine the weight of your choices- as the one directly playing the game- are amplified further as you witness their consequences playing out in front of you.
I am deeply fascinated by, and admire the ability that some game/content creators have, to so effectively manipulate emotions, especially fear.
I'd love to hear your opinion too if you have one!
Me with my 12 gauge shotgun
Let em in
Berleezy doing the cat food game show hosts voice is hilarious he did a great job😂

45:07 i know it’s 9mo late but you can 1000% see that the lights have all been toppled over/moved and i’m fairly sure you can see her hiding behind one of them. if you went down to that room, she’s hiding in the corner of the room, and eventually leaves out the back/side door, leaving it open.
Seán: "Do you think Jacksepticeye would go out of his way to help an _old lady_ find _mustard_ in a shop? _NO!_ I'd _punch_ the lady, _steal her money,_ and _leave!"_
