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
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
@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...
@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.
@@mclachlann 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.
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.

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. :)
@@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
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.
@@kiralonely1307 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.
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!
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!
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.
@@NorthernGreenEyes 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!
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
He is a RU-vid and he will always be a RU-vid. RU-vid is his soul, RU-vid is his community and RU-vid is a big part of his life but most importantly... RU-vid is his family. I don't know why I said this.
@@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
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.
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.
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 :)
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...
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
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**
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.
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.
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
@@trippiehippie5262 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 😭
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😭
@@user-kj5es1ve2h 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
@@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.
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. 😂😂
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
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.
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.
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 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!
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
@@AndreRQL 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 love this. Realistic horror (idk if that's what this is called) has been the scariest thing for me lately. Like, I get that this is based on a real story, but even if it were a made up story I'd piss my pants. I hate/love this trend of horror games. They get me genuinely scared for my life. I have to go check I closed the entrance door correctly. Why the f*ck did I think watching this right before going to sleep was a good idea?
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.
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
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?
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.
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 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!
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?!" 😅 😂 😅
I've been watching your channel quite a bit. I have a terminal disease and since I can't afford what I need to be able to leave my house your videos keep me entertained
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.
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
The thing I just noticed about Fears to Fathom is that all these stories are things that (of course) have actually happened and could very much happen again to anyone. They’re very real stories that, as much as I love supernatural/sci-fi/ etc. types of horror games, can really just get your heart going and keep you up at night. 💀 Like holy shit
I’ve been waiting for this for actually a year. I’ve been commenting on all ur other vids since Norwood hitchhike and am so excited to watch. Love ur vids Sean
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
42:53 It's the fact that I watched Gab's first and heard about this moment beforehand because of her laughing about it that makes this jumpscare so much funnier. Edit: Time stamp
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!
I can say in like 3 weeks, I been binge watching alotnof your channel. I've always been a follower. There been times your channel wouldn't show up on home page. Now it's all your videos. I just done binge watching Until Dawn, HH Holmes and The Quarry
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'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?! 😂😂
watch Gab and jack play this game is so amazing just love the diffrent energi they give could not stop laughing when jack was in the stor looking for peas absolut chaos haha
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
@@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’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?
45:51 stool and light set up are toppled over. At 47:26 the knife is on the kitchen floor. 48:47 flowers on the floor. just some tidbits i picked up while watching you ;-)
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.
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.
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.
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
“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.
