I Have Never Experienced a Horror Like This... 

Imagine this as a co-op game; one guiding the other in a randomly generated forest. How much would you trust your mate? Be fun as hell, I reckon.

The way Fooster decides to completely ignore tasks and satisfy his own curiosity stresses me out way more than what’s happening in the game 😂

what i love about Fooster after watching him for more than 4 years is that whenever there's a sudden dialogue, regardless of what he's doing, he will actually listen to it and try to understand what the heck is going on in game, which is very rare to content creators these days. and not only that, him and the boys are actually RP'ing whenever given the chance.

The “one mistake” that the creature was referring to was actually telling you that you made an error in telling the hiker to take a right on the first trail, which allowed the thing to corner the hiker and chase him through the woods.

*Game is about communicating with a lost hiker to save his life* Fooster: *Never communicates with the person.*

Very few horror games actually freak me out but this game just gives me chills the entire time. Just the thought of a malicious entity with enough intelligence to mimic voices and take pleasure in taunting its victims make my very skin crawl

I love how in a game about guiding a hiker to safety over the radio, he wonders if it's important that he answer questions on the radio.

By the way, it matters how long the flood lights are on to get the different endings, if its flashing or only on for a second you can get the goatman to do different things then when you hold it on for a while. Also there are 6 endings, 2 where you die, 3 where the hiker dies, and 1 good ending where no one dies

*NPC in a life or death situation* Fooster: let just look around.

My theory is the hiker talks to you for a bit but the creature is taking over at some point in the convo. It's all based on the voice. Some of it is intentionally hard to tell.

This was freaking creepy. The fact that you have to listen to him taunt you is what would creep me tf out, and the way he speaks is terrifying. Hopefully there will be a bigger expansion in this, I really want to see a sequel to this.

The thing about this is if the creature can mimic voices and it's talking to you using the hiker's voice, then you have to assume it's also using your voice to talk to the hiker. Also, hiker may have gone bye bye earlier than we think. Really cool game!

I like how a hiker needed help and fooster decided to just look as some papers lol 😂😂😂

Imagine playing a game as a hiker with a walkie talkie and some cryptid is chasing you through the forest and the point of the game is to reach a watchtower by following the instructions of a guy who just cannot be bothered to talk to you because he's reading lore about the forest he works in 😂

Game has tons of potential, wish their were multiple stories and people to rescue with tons of different dialogue! Also be to leave the tower with your rifle and go out on foot and look for the lost hikers and roll with those types of scenarios

Im killing myself if Fooster is the person I hear in the radio in this situation

Imagine the realistic side of getting Fooster as your guide. You connect to a radio channel for help while you're lost in the woods and all you hear back is the classic "I'm so stressed!" Haha Another great video

"The likelihood is we're both going to die, but I'll do my best." had me laughing so hard. I watched that part like 10 times.

I just did a quick look and apparently, there are two other games set in and around Gracewind Park - 'Do You Copy' (2017) is the first one, 'Midnight Shift with Lenny Motts' (2019) is the second, and 'The Leeds Murders' (2022) is the third.

There is something so relaxing about this that i cant explain, like imagine watching this while eating or while sitting on a couch or wrapped up in a blanket and the AC is on full blass and you are just watching this getting scared.

Honestly, i wish there would be more "park ranger/park firewatch" horror games. Full of potential. You dont even need supernatural to make it scary, bears, big wolves and most importantly, weirdos in those woods would provide horror easily. If i would be actually talented to make games, i would make park ranger horror, ive had idea for it floating in my head for long time.

DO NOT ever consider a career in the parks service. The ignoring of the radio, and it's red FLASHING push to talk button...it pushed my button.

I feel like this would become Foosters worst nightmare if it was Fisk he was trying to navigate through the forest. Can you imagine the bickering and Fooster just being like "FINE, DO WHAT YOU WANT, GET KILLED!" 😂😂😂 Meanwhile Fisk is swearing in Swedish.

Me and my stepfather were hunting black tail deer a few days ago at a place in SW Oregon called Quail Prairie, which has an aptly named Quail Prairie Fire Lookout. The tower is sadly in horrible disrepair due to the utter neglect of the Forest Service. While we were hunting, there was a bit of storm going on with sporadic rain, hail, and wind. There were periods where the rain and wind would almost completely stop and things would be utterly silent... except for the creaking and groaning of the old fire tower, which was honestly super eerie. It's no wonder there are so many horror stories/games that want to focus on this theme.

The leeds family is the Jersey devil family, if im not mistaken. So to hear it being used for another cryptid ,gave me chills. This is a unique perspective . A very enjoyable view, to be the outsider looking in. Great playthrough.

When the hiker gets mad thats actually the goatman because hes expecting you to lead him to ur tower expexcting a free meal

I really hope you plan on playing the second one! This was an absolute treat to watch. The second one is called Gracewind Tale, The Leed Murders!

Gawd this was frustrating to watch. You’re so busy thinking that you’re supposed to be solving a mystery that you’re not even playing the game right

People going missing and the night watch are never given something to defend themselves

This was a very interesting game, sitting in a tower and not the one wondering around in the woods, but trying to guide someone else from certain death is brilliant and scary at the same time lol, i love it.

When I first played this and lost after guiding the guy while avoiding where those eyes are, It hit my head like "OOOOH It's following the hiker that needs help to get both of us(as the newspaper says that 2 of us died)" but its so impatient on the radio that it stole from that hiker's friend that it gave him away so I won the 2nd round.

So...the mistake you made is assuming that the creature is "just" listening. No. You DO talk to the creature and the lost hiker. The objective is to guide the creature away from you and the hiker close to you. You gotta pay attention to the tone of vouce. The hiker IS desperate and really freaked out, while the creature sound calmer and angrier towards you and your wrong leads to him. I know you knda figured it out in the end, but just to reinforce that the creature was NOT just hearing or taunting you. It was TALKING to you!

It’s a shame it’s not a multiplayer game. One person in tower other person lost. Can you imagine Fisk lost and alone in the woods 😅

bears will actually stand on their hind legs to observe things, it gets them a better vantage point. They can also walk bipedally for short distances, although the gait is extremely awkward and difficult to mistake for anything but a bear. I believe there was a case where a bear lost its front legs or lost use of them or something, and had to learn to walk bipedally. That is EXTREMELY detrimental to their health though, so it's not in any way common.

The way the sounds and movement hint at things in this game, and the fact you only interact from a distance with someone else depending on you make it far more freaky for me than in your face horror.

THE GOATMAN USED LEEDS VOICE AND THATS WHY THE SURVIVOR HEARD LEEDS!!!!

Fooster! When he said he was taking a "RIGHT" it was HIS RIGHT. Meaning he turned into the woods, and got off the trail.

So watching this playthrough I initially thought Fooster was way overthinking the significance of the second tower but obviously he wasn't. After looking into it, turns out he was right - the last transmission is the Goatman. Turns out, the plot is that the Goatman knows that the player knows its real and is trying to find him to kill him, not so much the missing hiker. Also, how you use the search light does matter - you can do short flashes, a long flash, or a single quick flash and all mean different things with different outcomes.

This was really good. One voice was scared and the otherwise more commanding, laughing, angry.

I find this to be a lot scarier to me than Fears to Fathom's watch tower episode. The imagination running wild with this feeling of being genuinely isolated in a massive forest and not knowing who or what is the threat genuinely gave me chills

I think the best option is to say nothing at first so that way you don’t give away your location to the creature then try to guide the man to tower 2 ( im only half way through so maybe he did choose this option)

Quick tip, do not use the flood light, leads the goatman right to you and gets you killed.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing Fooster uploaded a new video.

At first it seemed easy to differentiate between the two voices but later on in the video it became harder and harder to know who was who. God the voice actor did a phenomenal job at this.

You know it’s good when it starts with. “ I have never experienced…. “ ❤

"theres something chasing me, ive lost the train" -- "Hold up just let me read this article"

This was an awesome way to create a horror game thats not jump scary. Definitely some strategy to it and it keeps you thinking.

Bro you make horror games scarier. You actually put yourself inside the experience and enjoy the game. Thats just somethin’ thats rare these days.🔥 guys like Mark , Pewdiepie or Jack don’t really have this quality anymore.

Something that bothers me about these types of park watchtower games (Ironbark Lookout being another) is that they don't provide any proper security gates at the bottom that might atleast deter any potential trouble. Or a retractable section of the staircase.

"Okay, that's great!" *immediately kills the lights* "Screams of terror and pain"

For a second I thought this was the 4th Fears to Fathom game, which has a very similar feel to this game, but anyway I am still excited to see you freaking out in the forest 😂

Gives me anxiety when this man doesn't answer the person he is supposed to be helping

You always post these late at night for me. I blame you if I have nightmares I can never say no to a Fooster video!

I love how Fooster tries to come up with a strategy multiple time and yet does the exact same thing 3 times in a row until it worked 😂

Leave it to Foosie to hear someone say they are being chased and instead of finding where they are he wants to know what is trying to kill him lolol love it

I don't see how people play these crazy psychological horror game, because I just am terrified of jump scares, opting to just listening to the audio more than half the video.

Anyone notice the book on the bookcase is written by "Peller & Tenn" a nice nod to Penn & Teller who actually have written several books in real life

Fooster. Did you know that the Goatman's voice can be heard in the ambient noise? 0:20 listen closely. Left ear.

There’s a book called missing 411 based on this with all real stories. I’m assuming that’s where this game comes from and I’m all for it

In my opinion, I think it was a windigo because no elk would keep making calls like that Just so you know, when the creature speaks you can use the radio

I get the feeling that the lost hiker actually finds the tower when you turn the light on the first time.. After that you’re talking to the Goatman, and you’re actually misleading him to get to Tower 2 to save you both. There’s too much of a discrepancy vs the panicked voice and the more subdued one; every time the Goatman asks for directions, the voice is subdued.

I feel I must point out, the guy in Tower 2 is still there I think. Usually 5-6 days at a time do they live in those towers. And of course if towers are in sight of each other, one will watch during the day, the other will watch at night.

Lmao, watching you play this stresses me tf out! Dudes talking to you, and you can respond, and you just ignore him a few times lol

Holy crap, that was tense! I had massive goosebumps from this freaking voice actor “should i make it…Run?” “Any minute…” Fock this, mate! I will never play such games, no sir, i’ll leave it to brave people like Fooster

I feel like you pulling the breaker the first time shows the hiker where you are, and when you pull it again, it tells the creature where you are, that's why you hear him freak out and see the lights through the trees.

God I was screaming and yelling "Stop talking and pay attention to the radio" cos everytime when either the creature or hiker talk, you have to respond back to something because otherwise your gonna mess up

I think this is one of the first times I see a RU-vidr fails the game. Usually they are cut with the best movements/moment and that's it. If I was the gamer the hiker wouldn't have last 3 seconds. If I was the ranger I would have put a shoe or something and leave the lights on all night lol

Horror and Fooster is a great combination. Not for his heart maybe lol

I’m pretty sure the monster or something is a skinwalker and when the guy is afraid it’s Actually him but when he gets calm I’m pretty sure it’s the monster mimicking him

Fooster always makes everyone's days better!

ngl this one was a hard watch, you werent catching onto anything nor were u pressing e to answer the radio and ignoring the camper multiple times

45:01 you could actually see the hiker in the other tower, when he gets there.

If the creature has lived in the woods for so long.. how is it possible it doesn't already know the precise location of the towers? E.g. if it wanted to attack park rangers.. it could just keep taking them out, every single night 😂

I absolutely love love love your content and personality. You deserve all the recognition you're getting and more, especially considering everthing you've been through and still providing content for your fans, what an absolute legend.

"I think I just saw a flashlight or something" he finally became an actual horror movie character

i like how you tried to figure out how to help the hiker and looked out for your safety since the creature tried to look for you

This is not the guy to call for directions...

Fooster getting distracted by documents while a man pleads for help with directions Simulator hahaha.

Thank you for sharing your gameplay! When I first watched this gameplay a while ago, this game had me on the edge of my seat. It was terrifying! Seeing you work through the game and finding all the small details was very satisfying to watch. I’m glad you stayed and played out all the endings. ☺️ Seeing you catch on when you were able to distinguish the creature and the hiker at the end made me smile. Good job man!

This is so similar to the Fears to fathom episode that just came out

Bros out here being chased by a demon and foosters reading the whiteboard

LESS HORROR, MORE FRUSTRATING. Describes the video very well

Fooster has never triggerred me more than in this video. I am screaming at my phone on the bus

You should do live streams of horror games sometimes. It would be hilarious to watch you be terrified live!! 😅💙

The fact that the game don't give him time to examine papers etc, but keeps peppering him with interaction prompts, and Fooster not responding to those prompts gives me a different kind of stress.

Have ya tried killer frequency. It does this type of horror, but with 80s murder mystery and you're a radio host turned 911 operator

Immediately he got the towers mixed up that’s what made it harder to map out 😂

this was a great one. I like how fooster keep telling the hiker to take the long way around lol

In regards to using Ai to vocally interact with a game there actually is one that does that. Recently a game called "Suck Up!" came out where you play as a vampire convincing npc's to invite them inside. You actually speak to the npc's through your mic and the game responds.

This is one of my favorite indie horror games! So glad you are playing this gem. 🥰

This game had me in a choke hold when it first came out I was obsessed

The last twist in the dialogue… it was so impressive. It was the creature in the end. What a game

I LOVED this. I'm kind of sad they didn't do any expansions on this game -- new scenarios and what-have-you

Foster never disappoints… Absolutey amazing game you found Foost. Keep this up!😊

Funny thing about this game. Though it is fictional, it's actually based on reality, especially when it comes to Yellowstone and Yosemite National Parks. Both have tons of first hand accounts from visitors that have strayed off paths or stayed in camping locations where they have encountered Dogmen or Bigfoots, as well as other weird cryptids. There are a LOT of missing person cases for both areas and park Rangers are strictly told not to discuss these things or the creatures with visitors, but after awhile, they can't help but disclose events with someone, especially with the excellent host of the "What Lurks Beneath" YT channel. So this game situation is somewhat centered around real events. The Sasquatch encounters are not normally something that leads to missing people, but those involving the Dogmen and other nasty cryptids do.

lol this was definitely the most frustrating watch of any of your videos. Sitting here screaming directions to my computer. Still great stuff!

Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact... same fucking thing... over and over again expecting... shit to change... That. Is. Crazy.

You should play the sequel to this game "A Gracewind Tale: The Leeds Murder"

This was extremely creepy, thank you for playing it ❤

I have been going insane for over 2 weeks. I remember this game, and I remembered I liked it a lot, but I couldn't for the life of me, find it. IT WAS THIS GAME! Thank you!
