It's pretty clear that the developers intentionally made Mike an ugly Werdio to trick the player into thinking he was the antagonist, and I fell for it lmao
I think the developers intentionally made men in particular come off as threatening in various ways. Especially in a perspective of a woman. Mike was a weirdo with ulterior motives disguising himself as a friend, the dude in the elevator knowing who she was and what floor she worked despite her not knowing him at all, the janitor barging in the women’s stall, to the hitch hiker and fake Rick acknowledging her being alone. The only character Cyd wanted to be there was the friend that got stranded for a bit
I would put money down that the average woman would find this story scarier than the average man would. This plays on the threat of being trapped with strange men who don't understand boundaries or have ulterior motives. It does this from the first damn scene (with the guy barging into the bathroom and then sticking around in the women's bathroom venting about how pissed he is. The guy in the elevator remembering what floor she's on - even stranger that he's on a lower floor than hers. Means the only way he could know her floor is if he took a mental note of what button she pushed, despite her not recognizing him at all. Her good friend being too pushy in a weird way, and then the two men explicitly acknowledging she's alone without any help and threatening to do whatever they wanted to her...) The game dev knew what they were doing, isolating that fear and creepiness from the first scene. This is what horror games should strive for.
Reminds me of a book called The Gift of Fear It’s actually a really interesting book to read as a man to understand the kind of things women watch out for that men don’t pick up on
Charlie didn't see it, but if you go down to the basement earlier than you're supposed to, you can actually hear the imposter Rick snoring, which confirms he was probably living in that locked room.
I’m pretty sure he was in the attic, he talked about his missing cat and there was a sleeping mat up there. I think the no no room was just for spooky effect
@@Mack_Stoneyafter the hiker comes to the door asking to be let in, you can watch him through the windows and see that he goes to the basement door and starts kicking it. After you hear him scream, you can see that the door is open. Also, after “Rick” is revealed to not be the home owner, he enters the locked room while you’re hiding in the basement and leaves the door open, allowing you to see inside
There’s something hilariously poetic about Charlie being softlocked in the game room by Mike, with his creepy stare, and the cop car STILL honking at an empty car parked in the road as hes trying to escape hahhhaha
Mike is scary, from the "You knows" to demanding longer hugs. He reminds me of a guy I knew that kept messaging my friends Stay Happy followed by a "nickname" "Stay Happy Ash" "Stay Happy Manny" it was all too much and he sent it out every single day.
That sounds so uncomfy 😂 like i can see how he has good intentions with it but how could people not have like ... Common sense about how that comes across 😅😂
the amount of times he got softlocked is actually nuts, i just went to different jumpscares watching content creators play it and Charlie was the only one that got softlocked and continued to do so.
@@semperternhe just played like shit honestly. I think it was a combination of him trying to be funny and having to pee. Prolly wanted to get to the diddy stuff too
@@JokersD0ll no he wasn't as a janitor in the womens bathroom you're suppose to leave the bathroom when a woman is using it it's inappropriate to stand at the stall a woman is using scaring her and not reading the room that you need to leave
@@rentacop7038 Not trying to be rude or anything but I kind of question whether or not you're actually "supposed to leave" since you'd have a job to do.
alright bro, honestly i thought you were lying when you said the new hiccups delete method was legit, and i had hiccups twice in the last 2 hours and i said out loud "hiccups aren't real, i don't have hiccups" and it worked instantly. I swear on my life that I had hiccups for over 12 hours when I was doing a trek on the AT and it was literal torture and you genuinely saved me from ever dealing with that again. thank you brotha
Breath in as much air as you physically can and hold it until you can’t, it puts pressure on your diaphragm and stops the spasms, if it doesn’t work the first time it may take 2 or 3 but I swear this method hasn’t ever failed me
@@victoriasyverson7490 so is drinking water through a paper towel. It’s called a placebo for a reason. My trick works because it is putting pressure on your diaphragm, stopping the spasms causing your hiccups, try it if you don’t believe me
Pretty sure this story is more terrifying for women than anything. The fact that the main threats were men but also the fact that each of the scenarios this woman was in would seem like small interactions for men. From the janitor to the software guy in the elevator, to Mike being a damn creep, to both the hitchhiker and fake rick acknowledging her being alone. I’m not all that surprised that a lot of guys that played this didn’t find it scary but damn it at least made me feel uneasy and creeped the hell out
@@Broccoli-m9h He memorized what floor the mc lived on even though they had previously never even met or talked, and he lives on a lower floor, meaning his only chance to notice was her pressing the button, which is a really small action you'd have to be paying attention to to notice. It just kinda gives off creep vibes if someone you don't know tells you that they know where you kinda live
@@pepperpoppers9803 i mean i live in a building and its really easy to remember on which floor a person lives on like if i called a lift and it stopped on a floor then there was a person in that lift i would know that what floor it was on If it was the house no. which the dude remembered then that would be creepy
@@jagrimer was this addresed at the persons laughing at animal abuse? or are you a robot trying to convince people to be christian. I genuinly can't tell at this point
bro bought us pizza, went fishing and cooked a delicious meal, drove through a storm to rescue nora, and kicked a door down to save us. and the whole time the main character giving him this sassy attitude, even complaining that his shit stinks. bro did no wrong
@@billjones642I mean… he was weird. But there’s no denying he clearly was just that and not an actual evil person. He wouldn’t be my first pick to hangout with, especially not alone, but he’s definitely better than real creeps.
@@billjones642 Sydney told him no MULTIPLE TIMES and he still tried to sleep with her. Take note of Charlies videos with nice guys they 1. Act nice 2. Charm the person 3. Get turned down (their willy no get wet) 4. Get mad and act like a completely different person Take note of Mike, he acts super nice, then asks to sleep with Sydney (to which she says no) then brings up when they were DRUNK (Which Mike seems to remember pretty well for being drunk), and gets all pissy when she says no. Look at how he acts before and after the rejection, from warm and friendly to cold and disconnected.
@@Karmatic_303 first of all there was never a moment the player got to choose a clear no option or reject him, only interested and thanking options. and both mike and sydney seem to remember the drunken night quite well and seem to be cool about it, if youre implying he might have gotten her drunk to have seggs with her then god help your judgment. and he didnt exactly start acting cold and angry he was just sad which is natural because he was rejected? why do you want him to be warm right after getting rejected? in the end this is a consequence of hookup culture. sydney brought this up for herself. sleeping with a guy and expecting him to just move on and not develop romantic or sexual attraction towards her
I had a terrible crippling truly aweful fear of P. Diddy. But I've recently began to overcome that fear now that the menace himself has been apprehend.
🚨 PSA to Penguinz0's audience 🚨Don't reply to whoever troll bots you see. Report them and move on. Also, do not cause any comment wars over trolls as they'll satisfy themselves with your negative reactions.
@@lynxarcade2020 both, it's funny how there's a good chance he tried his luck with Nora. Even Charlie believes there are genuine people like Mike, and though it's personally me (not sure who else is thinking the same) who thinks and believes there are people out there who would do the same shit. Try and get lucky, not score any then try their luck on the next person they see.
they made a marinade out of frozen yogurt? Sugary, ice cream-esque frozen yogurt? Not like plain yogurt or greek, just basically ice cream with savory spices and oil??
That’s not the only thing that doesn’t make sense how did the guy from the pizza shop manage to follow you the whole way in a snowstorm without a vehicle lmao
they mightve made the models separate to the story, thus the error. they were probably told to model yogurt, and thus went with that, instead of a savory yogurt. that, or the story beat got changed, but the model remained
I gotta be honest the guy who thinks you are human filth for eating pizza crust standing at the door way and trapping you in a small room refusing to stop starring at you emotionally without uttering a word is fear itself.
🐟: Wow, thanks! I've been dying for one of these. It...Where's my drink?🥤 🧽: What drink? 🐟🗣️: My drink? My diet Dr Kelp? Don't tell me you forgot my drink!🥤 🧽: But, you didn't order any- 🐟🗣️: How am I supposed to eat this pizza without my drink?!
17:33 there are. I was once stuck with one on a first date. I told him I had to run home to get the wine, he dropped me off and didn’t notice I grabbed my bag. they exist. he made me feel so uncomfortable that I would rather hide in a kitchen than give him a proper goodbye. cringey as fuck.
I will give Fears to Fathom the props that it captures the unique feeling of Any Man Could Be a Threat™. This chapter and Norwood Hitchhike both feel like the strongest installments to me and maybe it’s for that reason, coming from my own subjective experience and how it plays on that for me. I do feel like the horror is 10x more effective for women, especially in those chapters.
It's crazy how different brains work, I've been watching these types of games on youtube for years and I still jump at the most basic of jumpscares. Meanwhile Charlie acts like the monster was a child that he needs to act scared for.
Fun fact, carp is actually a traditional Christmas meal in Czechia hah :D it's not very good though. However, it is mostly eaten with potato salad or mashed potatoes :)
Watching charlie play horror games is a surreal experience, because he just doesnt get scared. horrifying jumpscare? stone cold. Eerie atmosphere? nothing. this guy will be complementing the wallpaper choices while being chased by lucifer himself XD
I have a fear of fitted bed sheets. Ever since I was a child, I've always imagined one of them wrapping itself around me like a boa constrictor and squeezing me to death.
I have a fear of acoustic guitars and I have no idea why it just randomly started being a thing in highschool? It doesnt extend to any other string instrument tho not even electric guitars?
I wonder if Charlie even streamed this or if he recorded it and is so used to talking to chat that he now just chats to ghosts whenever he plays low budget indie horror games.
