What Makes "Fears To Fathom" Terrifying? 

As a police officer, I really don’t like going to calls like this. Entering an unknown home to search for an unknown individual who has the intention of doing unknown things. It is rather terrifying

The scariest part is how realistic the game is

I feel like what makes fears to fathom way scarier is how realistic it is

Home invasion is everyone's phobia. Watching 8-bitryan playing it alone makes so much tense and dread. I wont be denying how frightening it is to happen let alone see it in a game.

The only things that make this game terrifying are: 1-The atmosphere. It's a well designed game, with her own atmosphere. 2-The fact these games were based on real stories from reddit. 3-The antagonist of each episode. They are real people not monsters, not myths, they are real. 4-The secrets and details in each episode. We can see the "maniac" when they are not even introduced in the main story. I'm still living with the fact that some people can't share their stories, because they couldn't escape.

The scariest part is that our boy just scarfed an ENTIRE LASAGNA by himself in three bites....dude, nevermind terrifying horrors, bro needs to watch out for cholesterol and heart disease!

For me it's definitely the fact that it takes place at home. The place where you should feel safest but all of a sudden, it's a place you are the unsavest.

For me, Fears to Fathom is terrifying because it immediately makes you tense with the ambiance. Normally the ambiance you'd hear in the beginning would be the noises you'd hear outside (crickets, maybe wind, owls, etc.), or just complete silence, and the spooky ambiance would only kick in when the spooky stuff begins to appear. Fears to Fathom? It starts right off the bat with that tense ambiance. It isn't helped when the premise is in the back in your mind: You're home alone and someone breaks in.

There is no one upstairs ‘yet.’ The ‘shadow’ you see climbing the stairs is foreshadowing the guy coming in. If you go throughout the whole house, he is nowhere to be found. He comes in when he breaks the window

The park cult one scared me. Encountered cult stuff when I was a kid and no one believed me either. It’s traumatic seeing something so unnerving and no one believing you lol. These games rule

It's terrifying because this things DO HAPPEN and not everyone gets out unscatched, I remember very vividly when I was a kid and I was home alone with my sisters, I went outside to lock the main gate of the house (From the inside) and a man outside IMMEDIATELY STARTED WALKING TOWARDS ME, I didn't pick on the actual danger at the moment because I was too busy wrestling with the damn rusty lock, he was like, two meters away from me and he backed off when he saw my older sister glaring at him and ready to grab me before he could do it (With younger sister behind her) Mind you it was in the middle of a bright day, with my neighbours at each side in their homes, I think the only thing that made him change his mind was because there were three of us and not just only me, god knows if I would even be alive if my parents didn't kept us three together at all times...

Don't open the lights at night if you think there's someone in your house, you know the layout of your house while they don't so don't give away home turf advantage.

The fact that these actually happened is CRAZY!!!

This pilot level was a perfect debut. The entire episode felt like a prolonged, sustained atmosphere of that gut-wrenching feeling you get when you're trying to usher your character into performing an action quicker in a horror game, like shutting a closet door before the killer notices that you hid inside, or sprinting as fast as you possibly can but your character is just too slow to outrun them. I love how it, in every way, defies what horror games have become recently and delivers something new and interesting. Rather than an ominous buildup into a jumpscare, or just scattered jumpscares all over the place, the game can give spikes of horror that scare the player just enough to evoke that same reaction that a loud noise and a scary face will, but without abandoning all the leadup to it. When you mess up and you get killed/caught, I love how it pauses and just lets you take in what happened, rather than playing an in-your-face animation and cutting to a "YOU DIED" screen. It lets your mind fill in the blanks, and imagine what happened next - which is one of the most powerful elements of horror. Also, I did come from the springlock video but stayed for this other content. This is really enjoyable, great job!

Episode 4 is god damn creepy bro, the cult in the woods what is that😳

The most horrifing part of the game is the fact this type of stuff has happened to people that arent here to share it

great video! personally i think fears to fathom is scary for one reason it keeps you tensed up the ENTIRE TIME. you get no breaks at all its a complete leap of faith you have to take and that's what i like about it no corny jump scares no spooky monsters and almost no noise it almost feels like your in the game. that's why i love fears to fathom so much

I find fears to fathom scary cause like the game says it’s events that can happen in real life if your not careful

the worst thing is that it happened to real people, in the past it might have happened to me too, if it wasn't for the fact that my mother stopped leaving the windows ajar (in short, as a child, when I forgot keys to house I would put my hand through the crack in the window when it was ajar (tilt so that the top of the window was ajar) and open it from the inside. It wasn't the first time, and when I told my mom about it, she freaked out because she thought if I could figure it out, the thieves would figure it out) (if there is a grammar mistake i'm just gonna say that i'm not native english speaker)

For me It’s cause it’s such environmentally scary, it’s not a spoopy run down restaurant, it’s not an abandoned toy factory, it’s not a horror like forest or cottage, it’s a normal everyday neighborhood, also this game builds up suspense and does ambience so well, the tiny toes going up the stairs, the music suddenly going from calm to insane immediately, etc. but worst of all these stories are *real* which is why I think most people get terrified, finally it doesn’t have the classic horror game feel, you don’t feel like a character escaping the monster, you feel like you’re there trying to survive and while playing you may be surprised at the lack of jump scares, but there’s always the feeling ones about to pop up, adding on the the anxiety and pure *FEAR* inflicted by this game and it feels psychologically terrifying which makes it perfect

the scary part about this game is that this can happen to anybody, i had experienced this last year when i was 15, i was home alone, my parents were out on a business trip and on the 5th night of being home alone, some guy was standing outside my house, just one step in the driveway, the guy kept staring at my house but left, a few hours later while i was in my room, i heard a knock on the door, i checked the peep hole only to see some guy standing outside the door, i asked the guy who he was but the guy did not answer, a bit shaken up, i went to the storage room to get the pump shotgun and load it up, i went back to the door and asked the man to leave, the guy started banging on the door but i stood my ground, eventually the door bursts opens and the guy saw me pointing the shotgun at him, the guy raised his hands up and as the guy backs away, the dude charged towards me but i shot the guy, i then called the E.M.T and luckily the guy survived and i faced no charges but the guy had to serve a few years in prison after being discharged from the hospital

Personally, I think the genius of the entire series is that you always feel uneasy about something you haven't seen, even when throughout the game you can miss key details that make it scarier. On my first playthrough I never saw the Stranger in the parent's window and in the downstairs window later in the game.

Despite not having the best graphics the game really knows how to make people crap themselves

Im not rly scared of horror games. But episode 2 made me horrified. The sound effects are so terrifying. And as the game goes it gets scarier. I had break when playing ep 2. So scary and realistic

The idea to include the wardrobe jumpscare to the Norwood hitchike episode was genius idea, because it punishes people who obsessively click everything.

The scary part to me is how the enemies are not ghosts or abnormal creatures, they're humans, people you'd meet everyday, people that can enter your life at any moment.

awesome video! i love the fact that the more you talk about why the game is actually scary, the more i become self aware of why i cant finish a single playthrough!

my dude found a way to get views and I respect

I love these kind of horror/thriller games because they're so true to life. I know exactly how it feels like to be stalked, to have someone scope out your house (in broad daylight sometimes). A man once tried to kick my door down and it probably was the worst encounter I've ever had, just hiding with the 911 operator on my phone, praying that they get here before things get bad. I remember my entire body was shaking uncontrollably and I could barely speak without my voice trembling.

You are such an underrated RU-vidr Keep making this stuff I love it 14k isn’t enough, u deserve more

Wow you are a great RU-vidr! You are incredibly underrated and I recommend you do a second episode about the 2nd or 3rd episode.

really underrated youtuber. keep putting out the good content.

You should make a video of how all the other episodes make you terrified or maybe even you playing them

WaserBite’s channel is growing so fast and he deserves it 👍

What makes it terrifying is you don’t know what’s waiting for you behind every door, corner

you explained so well, you've gained my follow!! keep it work brother

Just found your channel. Love your content, I hope you make more soon

I LOVE your series where roots don't grow it's AMAZING

Keep up the good work dude! Can't wait for your next video!

That kid is really procrastinating bro is an entire school year late. Also this man just called out every person who played this perfectly

Damn, these videos are good! The production value is top notch

i like this series, we need more horror games based on real events

Hey been watching you and I didn’t realize you’ve only got a few videos, but they’re all great quality and I genuinely enjoy watching them. Keep up the work man!

Fears to fathom is one of my favorite horror games ever, I've been watching it since their first chapter and I absolutely loved it, and the fact that people went through this makes it even more terrifying, they come out with new chapters every year and it's always worth it, I wish something terrifying happened to me so it can be a horror game and spread awareness about safety and other stuff. I hope they can make more and never stop

I think it's the Fear of Being Alone and the Fear of the Unknown that makes Fears to Fantom terrifying.

Ngl underrated channel , you mad interesting And homework in the middle of july be mad scary 😂

This was a really good vid I love your deep dives

Pretty funny and good channel, subscribe deserved, deserves more tbh

You know why this will never happen to me? Because my parent will not leave me alone at night for hours let alone days.

subscribed, quality of video and narration is really good, keep it up!

Dude you HAVE to make more video’s on fears to fathom

This video is so well made. Keep doin videos bro. Dead was eating dallas bbq wings watching this. Very enjoyable vid. You got a new subscriber

Another banger dropped by the legend Waser

Hey! Great video. I like the creepy factor even in this explanation. Keep up the choices bro 👍 love this

I need more content on these games, this is AWESOME!!

I really want to see this channel get popular

The jumpscare at the end gave me a heart attack cause I thought it was all over.

i think the biggest scare factor is the noise filter (fuzzy quality) is much like that of found footage, which for many people (me included) is an anxiety inducer

It's similar to watching a horror movie that you think is more silly than scary, and then notice the "Based on a true story" text on the screen at the end. And suddenly it isn't as funny anymore. As well as these games take place in places that people would consider their "safe space" or somewhere of comfort. So when someone has breached that comfort and safety it really puts people at unease. Personally games like these are my least favorite to play specifically because it highlights how scary these scenario's are, and how realistic it is just isn't my cup of tea to play. That's just my POV and opinion on it.

I really enjoy your channel in general

If you like fears to fathom, then you will definitely like chilla’s art they also have real life horrors like fears to fathom but also paranormal horror

Excellent review dude!

Damn i subed like the last video it was good and now this one is great cant wait untill you play another episode

8:56 I literraly jumped out of my chiar after the door opened

i cant wait for the hitchhike video one detail people miss in that one is that one of the men who stares at you through the window and then goes to the number across isnt the same man as the intruder later on, which nods to the idea that everyone in the area save for the the two staff and a couple locals who help you are in on the alluded trafficking ring

8:02 You trolled me, the glass scared me

this game never fails to send shivers down my spine

Loved this look into the game!

Very good video, you got my sub, keep it up.

cant wait till you upload another video awesome channel

The 4th one just got released and I have to say it's the scariest one of all them, and it also very similar to puppet combo's night watch you should do a video about it an if possibly explain the events of these two games.

Love ur vids bro, hope you come back soon

Im waiting for waser to always come back

Had to stop the video early to avoid spoilers, cause you got me hooked hard to play these myself!

This man is pastras brother dude

Amazing video, I subscribed

The thing about this game that made it so horrifying for me to play was the fact that about halfway through each episode, the realization that these actually happened would hit me. And it made me realize that nothing was really stopping it from happening to me.

This is a really well made video

The feel of this game and thoughts of what could happen is horrifying. This is a masterpiece in scaring people.

The jump scare scared the crap out of me

Me without a microphone:👁️👄👁️

I wish I found this channel sooner! Nice art I wish I can draw

thanks for being here to scare and fun us waser good night

YOOO new waserbite video

well there are many thing i dont understand i mean who was the guy who climbed up the stairs while he eating food because the creep was at the door after midnight

please more videos these are so good

The fact that after playing you remember that it actually happened to someone

This video was FIRE! Maybe you could look at the new iron bar lookout?

thank you algorithm for blessing me with this cool creator nice video!

Why would you just walk out the door like nah dawg I’m jumping out the damn window like just throw something at it

Amazing content! How do you make your character in the video though? Do you make it yourself or using some tool? Just curious, thanks in advance WaserBite!

This video made me anxious dude

The scariest thing about this game is we cant pause it

Love this vid, if youre seeing this could you please make a video on Stay Out of the House by puppet combo? One of my favorite horror games i ever played

seeing someone walk up the stairs as i was eating and watching the tv made me tear up lol

aight, earned a sub, great vid

The thing that makes it so terrifying, every time I walk I feel like I’m in danger

please make this video for the other episodes!

3:57 i miss that you do not say BUT YOUR NOT ALONE

I’ve watched these gameplays many MANY times and I still get very freaked out
