Fears to fathom's scariness doesn't come from the jump scares, directly but i believe it comes from the constantly tightening tension that builds and builds until the last second, achieving this through nostalgic fears which you've learn't to be "childish" suddenly resurface with twice the horror since you dismissed the thought of something so seemingly impossible to happen to you in particular. I got bored so i decided to edit after trying not to hide in the comments from sheer terror. :(

[@greenbean1552]

[@sunthorn4782]

This is how jumpscares SHOULD be used but nowadays people just focus on the jumpscares as if it is scary enough by itself, think FNaF 1 and how creepy it is vs FNaF SB where security bots jumpscare you left and right.

[@imthecoolestguyalive]

Thank you for the confirmation that it's all gonna build up towards a jumpscare. I feel a little less tense looking at the chapters now, since I know that the real spooks will only come around the end (edit - boy was I wrong, it came at multiple points). Although this is genuinely super unnerving. Five minutes in, and the memories of being home alone as a kid are creeping up. Key word is "creep", because holy crap is this unsettling.

[@chrishall8765]

That seems to be the direction most critically acclaimed horror takes. I mean even fnaf 1 relied more on the atmosphere, sound design, and lack of action over the iconic jumpscares.

That real fear... Is because you can TOTALLY see yourself getting into that situation... And the possibilities that arise inside your imagination start getting to you

See though... my brain has never had negative possibilities to those situations. Because the frst instinct in my brain since 10 years old when shtf is to attack. Though having a woodstove is a good deterrent for in my own home because I have a 2lb metal poker and an axe if needed. And out of my home it's pure fight adrenaline. I'm not afraid to push eyes in and blind someone immediately in a fight. Two fingers jammed into both eye sockets, then kick their hips or lower abdomen with all the force your torso can muster, then get up and run. They can't see you anymore so you can escape a solo person easily.

Damn, I just realized in the motel episode it is absolutely a bunch of people in on it, the gas station attendant tells people the story so nobody picks up the hitchhikers that get stopped by the logs (presumably so someone else can damage their car while the logs are being pushed out of the way), the guy who drives you must be in on it since he is the one who stops and takes you to the specific motel, the motel clerk knows about it since its presumable you got "messed around with" while drugged and the pill is plan B, which means its been happening. As well as the vending machine, that whole story screams human trafficking organization with a plan that they follow to capture people

[@itswindsy7861]

[@ImdefinitelynotCobaltion]

That’s an… incredibly weird thing to happen in real life.

[@SimonPetrikov12]

Why does the clerk help in the end then?

[@jonathanisolato]

@@SimonPetrikov12 my guess is the clerk isnt in on it, but is instead somebody who has become aware that some group has been using his motel for trafficking. Given how far out they are, bringing in law enforcement may not be a reasonable option, and he isn't a vigilante, so the best he can do is recognize that the signs of "things that happen and then people that come here go missing" is happening, and has things prepared to help where he can without endangering himself.

[@jonathanisolato]

The logs fallen in road like that is a very common thing as a "people trap" in rural areas. It is known if you see a neatly cut down tree in the road, boards with nails sticking up on them, or something else that seems too perfectly set up as a barricade without an explanation, if you get out of your vehicle, you will die or go missing, most often its used by cartels and human traffickers, and getting out of the vehicle to clear the road or see the damage to your car makes you a target to be kidnapped, shot, or have your vehicle stolen or tampered with in this case. One thing is common that these setups are very commonly done by organized groups, which how coordinated the rest of this scheme is, a large group of people is in on it, based on actions we can speculate the clerk knows but isnt a member of the group

[@RenTheFen]

this game gets you really good because it has lots of implied movement, where doors will open after doing something for a bit. Very simple, but it REALLY sells the effect that somebody is near you. It also uses a bit of hidden movement where just barely out of the corner of your eye you can see something move. I love it. Maybe it will get old, but I love the effect.

[@WizardCraft-ox4pe]

He's a 14 year old kid jumping from the second story of a house while an intruder is sitting in the house waiting unknowing of why he's there after getting a worrying text from mom saying "Do not open the door, stay hidden." People don't think clearly when they're under stress, especially at that age and while you're home alone, and arguably this was the more realistic and the smarter decision since you don't know if the intruder is there to hurt you or just steal from you, so hiding is your best move.

Imo, Fears to Fathom's horror mainly comes from two places: pacing and realism. Every chapter masterfully utilizes slow buildup through drawn-out, mundane scenes, sprinkling just a few worrying moments (like the person walking up the stairs in Chapter 1) to make sure the tension isn't lost and keeps on building until you either die or escape just by the skin of your teeth. Even if the people submitting these stories are lying or embellishing details, each scenario feels like something that could easily happen to you, if you were unlucky. No inhuman monsters, no supernatural elements, just pure, realistic horror.

On the note of 12:30 when asked what chat would do and that pizza has actually saved somebody b4. Ive seen multiple accounts of somebody calling 911 and disguising it to ordering pizza. I find it amazing that "ordering food" is enough to save somebody. But also an testament to human nature that it has ever had to come to that. Im glad this game is not only enjoyable to watch but also sheds some light on the fact these kinds of things can and have actually happened.

[@ryokiritani4187]

Yeah, a girl called 911 under the pretense of ordering a pizza and managed to get help against her abusive boyfriend. Since then, I believe most operators are ready to take pizza calls with a grain of salt

[@darkblaze66_86]

​@@ryokiritani4187I still think that honestly speaking that kind of situation is super f*cked up and im really glad that operators have learned to adopt that tactic. I know its most likely happened more than once

[@FaeTheMf]

No but srsly, walking down in the complete darkness to get a glass of water was represented so well here. That's exactly how it feels when you have to get up in the middle of the night and are parched, and you're scared to go downstairs but have too because you won't be able to fall back asleep unless you drink water.

“The man worked as a COO” Really hit me in my giggle button for some reason (35:30)

12:22 the ultimate weapon the spiffork

[@Chamomileghost]

You know a horror game is true fear if spiff is scared

[@azulululul000]

I absolutely love it when the mic input comes up and the moment Spiff makes noises chat just yells at him to shut the f*ck up 😂😂

[@NylonGenesis]

36:30 Genius honestly. I was wondering what a liminal space was doing in a game based on real events. The fact that it was actually part of a dream was somehow something that did not cross my mind lmao

[@FirethornYT]

Honestly, the low poly visuals was enough uncanny valley to be much scarier than any gruesome hd visuals

[@Peek_7]

Spiff if you haven't already you should play The Closing Shift, I think it's made by the same developer, or it just really has a similar vibe and it's honestly a great game! One of my favorite horror games

[@averynerdybookworm972]

They’re not made by the same developer, but it is super fun!

[@lookingspiffy1]

I agree it is a fantastic game, but it is made by chillas art.

[@Peek_7]

@@averynerdybookworm972 oh ok, I think I got a bit mixed up because I watched markiplier play these ones and the closing shift and I remember a part of a video where he's like "is this the same developer?" And I guess I got the games mixed up lol. Still have a similar vibe and are great horror games!

[@eggarts9562]

Honestly I just watched Jacksepticeye play it and it fucked me up for days

[@Eden-tk9ks]

This Game gives me the chills. Now i would love to see spiff play The Closing shift. They have a similar vibe.

[@Alex.Waddington]

I’m so glad that this became a vid, it was one of my favourite streams

[@UndyingZombie]

The second one oddly reminds me of a time where I was staying at a hotel, and found someone asleep under the bed.. Yea.. Under the bed.. Another time I found a knife under the bed in a bag but that one was not as worrying as finding a whole person.. I do not know why the person was there but I called the police and just waited outside.. Did not wake the person because I was afraid of what they might do if they woke up. Not the worst encounter I have had.. But its for sure a odd one.

[@Siccnessslider01]

58:39 "because..." "hm?" "Fuck you that's why" *Loud sounds*

[@DanTheIrrelevant]

My favorite part was when he said "It's spiggin' time"

[@DBS_Destroyer]

And then he spigged all over ‘em

[@flyingbanana2288]

Ngl my one major gripe with Fears to Fathom is that is seems to rely way too much on loud noises for jumpscares. Like damn knowing some dude is in my house with a knife is scary enough I don’t need a fuckin air raid siren on top of that

[@vrantik01]

I love how when spiff went in the room that said "do not disturb" and realized it was a recording studio, and said fair enough because he a streamer too

[@superxavxii421]

53:08 I've seen a ton of gameplays from my favorite KZbinrs and that jumpscare was the scariest one by far. OMG. I was so surprised that Spiff got Zeke inside that I forgot she hides in there....

[@VoidPelt]

21:35 Dudes moving his stuff like he’s moving money bags in Payday 2

[@songgbirdd]

chap 3, i kinda wonder what would happen if she chases you while youre on your bike. or if youre out in the town while shes broken in

[@kyrus7077]

Watching Spiff play actually scary games is really fun! Great Video!

[@blametheghost]

I think we can all agree that staying home all alone at night without any pets is and will always be one of the scariest experiences youll ever face

[@kiera6326]

For me, it's scarier. If you have a dog, you'll always know if someone who isn't supposed to be there comes anywhere near the house, but if somebody gets in, I'd be terrified of them hurting the dog

[@crispiecord]

The accent he's using for the Midwest is made even funnier by the fact that a Midwestern accent is one of the closest American accents to a Canadian accent

[@Its.just.b33]

14:32 "This is kind of how I drive." *THUNK* "Not that!" gets me every single time 😂

[@hal6568]

i usually never get scared by jumpscares when watching people play horror games but 7:10 actually got me good

[@gamlinggamern1]

its been 7 more months so hes gonna play another horror game that actually scares him

[@AstralSpiff]

The 4th fears to fathom is coming out soon so maybe

[@gamlinggamern1]

@@AstralSpiff i did not expect astral spiff himself to respond to my goofy little comment btw this is one of my fav vids of yours to rewatch

[@emmyuuSan]

I've been rewatching your videos again and again and I finally get new content and it's AN HOUR LONG THANK YOU SO MUCH SPIFF

[@tylern6420]

Surely hes gonna 50/20 blind right

also goth milf energy sounds wierd

[@StarBurned]

I love the “HE’S NOT TAKING ENOUGH DAMAGE, GET SOME HEADSHOTS!” at 9:27 lmao

[@Honey_pi3_forever]

I like how when he saw that it picks up his mic he instead of staying quiet, decided that screaming “NOW” would be a good idea
