I think what makes the fears to fathom game more scary is it’s based on someone’s actual experience

@OnePerDay 28 дней назад

Yeah I agree, its a shame I forgot to mention that more heavily in the video :(

@mothman6378 20 дней назад

i'm inclined to disagree. the creator said somewhere it says that for the immersion aspect, it's like a reddit nosleep story.

@TheGreatUnknowing 11 дней назад

By "real story" they mean something off of reddit or sent in by some random. So I doubt its true

@Paddington834 19 дней назад

Firewatch not having any jumpscares makes it even more terrifying. Youre kinda expecting the figure to jump out and scare you the entire game, but he doesnt. Ned is just trying to hide, likr henry and Delilah are. In a way, they needed to meet ned so they didnt end up like him

@OnePerDay 19 дней назад

Yeah good point, the whole game is like its building up to a jumpscare that never happens yet you are always expecting it and I think that is an interesting take that if they didn't discover Ned they would end up the way he did, I never though about it that way

@74sanjoypathak76 18 дней назад

although there is one moment not exactly a jumpscare at hawks cabin u find a raccon , thers an achievement for this

@deleteduser8424 12 дней назад

Sorry? call me crazy but Ned knocking us out over the head definitely felt like a jumpscare?

@Kalitayy 25 дней назад

What I love so much about Firewatch is the fact that you choose your dialogue while you’re walking. It feels like you’re having a conversation in realtime, feels more realistic. Can you imagine a new Bethesda game where there’s no awkward standing and staring to each other? Whenever there’s a dialogue, you have to respond within 5 seconds, otherwise the other character will remember that and bring that up in the future?

@Kalitayy 25 дней назад

@@StrippedBirchTelltale Games are quite different. I mean, they’re Visual Novel/interactive movies

@OnePerDay 25 дней назад

100% agree, Firewatch absolutely perfected the dialogue system and it heavily carries the game, with most games where dialogue is boring and something you skip through, I intentionally try to get as many dialogue interactions as possible because its so well written and really nicely designed and it feels really human unlike other speech systems in games especially Bethesda games which you also mentioned. Any future story driven game should definitely take inspiration from Firewatch

@kfactor20 15 дней назад

Fun fact: I ended up playing Firewatch because of all the play throughs I watched for Fears To Fathom. It gave me that tiny little itch for playing a game that puts you in the middle of a forest. Firewatch has a sad but sorta bittersweet ending

@OnePerDay 15 дней назад

I'm glad you enjoyed the Firewatch and Fears to Fathom games! :)

@CPLsmilez 2 дня назад

The ending made realize that Delilah was manipulating and lying to Henry the whole time

@memerman8766 27 дней назад

While watching this i was expecting this to be created by a guy with thousands of subs but found it to be one with only 500. Seriously tho this is a great video that deserves more attention

Thank you man this seriously means a lot, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video :D

@verdun16 14 дней назад

I want another firewatch game that’s an actual “horror” game. It doesn’t need to follow Henry again I just want a really scary firewatch game. Great video though, I checked out your other content and it convinced me to subscribe.

@OnePerDay 14 дней назад

Yes the developers are very talented at making something scary so even just something like a DLC to Firewatch that played more into the horror elements, maybe from the perspective of people camping out in the nature reserve, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for subscribing! I've got alot more videos just like this coming out soon so I hope you enjoy :D

@Monio. 25 дней назад

Firewatch is a lot scarrier but in a special way honestly. Firewatch seems cool at first, but then the pressure comes. I started feeling weird since spotting ned in the forest.

@OnePerDay 25 дней назад

Yeah and I hope that feeling was captured in the video, that's probably the most interesting part of the game is how scary you trick yourself into thinking the game is because of the fear of the unknown and that was one of the most memorable parts of the game (at least for me)

@CanadianPerseus 27 дней назад

Both Ironbark look out and Firewatch are amazing games but I’ve always personally found Ironbark to be more realistic when it comes to the actual job of a firewatch

@OnePerDay 27 дней назад

Fair enough, Ironbark is more grounded in reality as its a horror game and has you actually doing the job like filling out the weather reports each day and the log fire, cooking etc while Firewatch is more focused on the story with the actual job taking more of a background role but both are amazing in what they do and take the same concept in 2 totally amazing directions

@mmunnyy 22 дня назад

This is very good video, thanks man! The best thing that Fears to Fathom does is not knowing when or what will happen to you. Because everything we do is daily work. When some games tell you to do this, you know that something will happen to you when you go there. But even while peeing in F2F, something can happen to you. F2F uses human emotions very well.

@OnePerDay 22 дня назад

Yes it really keeps you on your toes and every little interaction in the game is 10x scarier than it actually is because of how much your brain tricks you into being scared, only the last 1/3 of the game contains any of the main jumpscares/horror stuff etc and the other 2/3 is just incredible atmosphere and amazing build up

@TheSeedierItGets 14 дней назад

I know ‘Do You Copy?’ Is an actual horror game, compared to these two with mixed genres - but it deserves a mention no less.

@OnePerDay 14 дней назад

Yeah I knew it existed when making this video but thought it would be too bloated comparing 3 games, however I might look into it and see if I can turn it into a video essay in the future :)

firewatch is my favorite game but the ending kills me everytime

@OnePerDay 24 дня назад

Honestly I think the ending is pretty good and even if Henry did meet Delilah the events would still be the same as in they both have a conversation about the future and then decide to change up their lives but instead of this being over the radio it'd be in person

@sofya_billy 5 дней назад

ahhh i have so many thoughts! firstly, very interesting comparison! we need more games about fire watch. secondly, it’s relatable to me about first play through of firewatch. i was scared of everything, although the game showed its comfort with all appearance. it has one important to me thing in common with fears to fathom- fear of being alone. alone on the tower, alone with suspicious things that people don’t believe in. plus fear of the unknown. your own thoughts either scare you more, or don’t know what to assume. sooo, love this atmosphere! also sorry for my english, it’s my second language

@OnePerDay 5 дней назад

Glad you feel the same about Firewatch, it really is a unique experience and yes the loneliness is both Firewatch and Fears to Fathom is extremely scary and a point I probably should've focused more on in the video, glad you enjoyed! :D Also your English was amazing I didn't know it was your second language till the end of the comment so nice job!

@wish882 17 дней назад

@Djembedude12 2 дня назад

I watched Joe Bartolozzi play Firewatch a couple days ago and it's one of the best story games I personally have ever witnessed. There's something about stories that take place in the wild, particularly the northwest, that fascinate me.

"The fear all disappears on the second playthrough". What I would give for an immersive sim forest ranger game, with procedurally driven animals, people, and cryptids/supernatural effects. You can play out over and over, never knowing if those missing people are just lost, attacked by some crazy person, or take by a cryptid. You won't know if the signs of a creature attack was because people left food out, a rabid animal, or a creature not meant for our world. Would keep you on your toes.

These two games are absolutely phenomenal. I love the scenery, both stories are absolutely amazing, and even though firewatch gets flack for its ending, it think its the only ending that actually works; can you imagine finding your deary beloved and seeing them, talking to them, leaving both spouses behind in an old life, and turning a new leaf? No, they have lives outside of this job. They have people to get back to, you can not leave them.

@cristianrodrigues3431 14 дней назад

@lisan_al_gaibb 24 дня назад

Never really cared for Firewatch, just didn't look like my cup of tea, but i do find the FtF series interesting, since they're presumably based on "real stories", so the title sounded interesting, and it most definitely was. Great video mate, keep it up! 🤙

@OnePerDay 24 дня назад

If you enjoy story games then I strongly recommend Firewatch but if you have watched all of this video then there isn't as much of a point since you know everything that will happen. I'm really glad you enjoyed the video :D

@iceicebabie 13 дней назад

I like what you said about the ending. I've been through disasters and wild stuff IRL. However, I'm still here. I, along with others, made it through in the end. Things only stay crazy for so long. Not to ramble too much... I really like how REAL the story is. The characters feel unmistakably human. And the overall "this isn't that important/doesn't change the world much" is VERY true for practically all of us. We all play little parts in this massive play.

@fleacythesheepgirl 7 дней назад

I really enjoyed Fear To Fathom. It had this creeping Blair Witch VHS era vibe. But I absolutely hated Firewatch. The choices all felt meaningless, they set up a spooky story and then it’s like “lol no it’s just bad parenting”. Also I knew there was no chance of meeting the lady, not for any story reason or artistic choice but cause it’s an indie game and faces are difficult. Of course I don’t begrudge anyone for liking it. Each to their own.
