The image attachment from the mother is AMAZING. I'll be honest, I have never felt this type of horror to this degree before. I've got chills. It's not just the fact that somebody's outside, it's the fact that this poor kid's MOTHER has obviously been contacted by a worried neighbour. Their mother is nowhere near home right now, and they get a photo sent to them depicting a creepy person standing outside their door, where their young teenager is currently all alone (or rather, less alone than they should be). The mother is likely miles away, panicking because their child may be in danger, and they can't do a thing. Truly horrifying.

One time, while home alone, I saw someone on our porch. They didn't knock. They just stood there. I saw them try to peer in through the sidelight. I freaked out, called my parents, and spent the rest of the night locked in my parents' closet with 911 on speed dial and a very confused dog. The hour or so I spent waiting in there was probably the scariest bit. I don't think my heart stopped racing the whole time. Every sound seemed amplified. The house would settle and my blood would freeze, sure I was going to hear footsteps coming down the hall. Anyways, my dad checked the doorbell footage when they got home and it turned out it had been mormons.

This game does a lot of things right. The atmosphere is a big part of that. Probably the worst part about it though is how it’s perfectly reasonable. Parents leave teenagers alone all the time. Home invasions happen all the time. That little view of feet going upstairs while you watch TV could actually happen. We’ve all missed something obvious while distracted. That’s what’s so terrifying about this. We can all see this exact scenario happening to us personally. It’s a different experience to say a game that focuses on some strange supernatural entity. We all know the darkness demon isn’t real but a home invader, that could happen right now. This experience hits us on a primal level of our privacy being invaded. Absolutely perfectly crafted experience that really preys on your paranoia, and a pretty reasonable paranoia at that.

[@AntoineFRS]

I just played the game moments ago, and I totally missed to see the feet going upstairs as I was genuingly watching the "tv show" which is a few minutes long (there is a second channel btw).

You'd have paranoia and anxiety for the rest of your life. No weapon is gonna stop the fear you're gonna feel before, during and after home invasion. Just think most home invaders also have weapons, so don't act like you're some big tough person just because you think home invasion "isn't that scary." Take it from someone who has had some weird shit happen in their house that can't be explained, stuff that makes it decently clear that someone was in your house that shouldn't be: it's not fun.

You are right in that aspect, but we should not forget the other part of the spectrum in which the game gives you something to defend but in limited amount. When something is coming to get you, you know you can do something and you start panicking. I love both of these types of games.

[@notalive5479]

@@raianelchabe Defense in limited amounts certainly has its merits, but not quite in the way you describe. Horror thrives not just on helplessness, but also on contrast. Red becomes more vibrant when in the presence of green, and horror is likewise more effective in the presence of non-horror. That is part of why the Storage in Amnesia is so effective, because it comes immediately after the Back Hall. Therefore, in a game where you are NOT helpless, when you find yourself helpless the experience is amplified. In a game where you are ALWAYS helpless, you never are.

I think Mark forgot or maybe didn't notice that these games are inspired by real events that people have sent in to the developer; part of what makes them so scary is knowing that it happened to someone, it could happen to you, and it's probably happening to others somewhere in the world right now. Be safe, people. -Edit- For some of the people commenting that the stories aren't real or it can't be proven, obviously certain things are changed for the sake of privacy and the threat is made to look like a 'monster' because that's expected in a horror game, but there's also an element of truth in the faceless nature of that threat, because you never know who is going to attack you or what they're going to look like...until they do.

This reminds me of a situation from a few years back when I was 19. Was gaming late (as in like 2am-3am) and decided I was thirsty, so I left the office where I'd put my PC, opened the sliding door and just took a step ahead when I heard a thud. Looked ahead properly and here I am, with 5 people I don't know staring back at me. I froze for a second, staring at them, then jumped backwards, closing and locking the sliding door while calling the police and the neighborhood watch. Then they scramble and are out of the window (which they'd completely removed) and were gone in seconds. I was never so freaked out in my life. Turns out the cleaning lady we'd hired had been part of a group where she'd loosen windows so these people could completely remove the glass while the home owners are either out or asleep, then they come in quietly and rob the place. They'd even taken my dad's phones from right next to his head on the bedside table... he's terrified to even think what could have happened had he woken up. We got lucky that I got thirsty when I did, it stopped them from stealing more, but it's still a terrifying thought that all that happened and he never woke up. I heard nothing at all... just walked in from gaming to see 5 unfamiliar faces in my kitchen in the dark.

Fun fact the Fear To Fathom episodes are based on true stories. Also I could never sleep in a room in which you couldn’t see the door from your bed. My soul would leave my body at every sound. Anyways, I know no one asked but I have a home alone story for y’all. Okay so this happened I’d say about a month or two after my family and I had moved into a new house. This house had, and I kid you not, a mile long driveway. It is in the middle of the woods with no neighbors. I was around 12 or 13 when this happened. I was sitting in my room while my sister, brother, and parents were all out running errands. It was currently 8 PM and they left at 6 PM, so I was hoping they were going to be home any minute, when my two dogs started barking. I was confused so I looked out the window to see a black figure with a flashlight emerging from the woods. My heart skipped a fucking beat. I grabbed my dogs and put them inside with me, locked my doors and windows, grabbed my knife, because why not, and ran into our “secret” room, which was in my brothers closet. One of the walls pushed out and there was a fairly sized room there which the old owners probably illegally grew drugs in but none of my business. My dogs were very stressed but I gave them beef jerky to distract them. Mind you, they are both over 90 pounds. Someone knocked on the door so I texted my mom about what was happening, but my phone had no service. I heard like digging in the front yard? You know when you have a shovel and you stick it in the ground and pull it out? Yeah, that. Anyway, my parents got home about 45 minutes later of me sweating and freezing at every sound. We checked the ring camera and it was a hooded drunk man who had escaped jail and was running through the woods. He buried a fork in our front yard, and left. Scariest moment in my life

These stories are as scary as they are because they're real and can happen to anyone. I think we've all felt this way at least once in our lives. I started getting scared of strangers hurting me in my home when I was 11. Because at Halloween that year 2 men wearing ghost face masks knocked on one of my neighbours door when she was home alone. They didn't speak but she thought they were coworkers pranking her so she promised them candy and went to the kitchen to get some. When she did they threw in molotov cocktails and left. She survived but her house burned down. She nor her boyfriend had any enemies so noone knew why they did it. They never got caught either. My neighbour naturally didn't feel safe in our community anymore so she and her bf moved far away. That happened in 2001. I started locking the front door when I was home alone after that incident.

[@YelloWool]

When I was little, I hated going upstairs by myself. Especially since I couldn't reach the light switch.

[@HumanPerson_final]

My childhood home had the light switches for the upstairs hallway at the bottom of the stairs and on the far end of the hallway. My room was, of course, in the middle and those walks in the dark to the switch always freaked me out.

[@kageraavarrthun]

@@HumanPerson_final That is terrifying. Wonder why It was set up like that.

[@xariotatriox6284]

I totally understand having a fear of the dark as a child. I remember when I was little, E.T. had just came out and I saw it in the theatre with my family and I was scared of the dark for a long time after that, always would think I was seeing something scary in the dark. One time after that I remember walking back to my room in the dark and there was one of my baby brother's onesie hanging on the closet door facing down the hallway and I was terrified by it. I guess I saw it as a person hanging there and was freaked out. I don't remember much from my young childhood but I remember all the lovely traumatizing stuff. 😐E.T. was like a horror movie to me back then, I'm still kind of creeped out by that alien.

[@kageraavarrthun]

@@xariotatriox6284 Understandable, I don't remember E.T. to be honest. I do remember a lot of weird stuff happened around my neighborhood though, like people moving out on mass, and this weird humming being heard from deep in the woods. One day I decided to check it out, it was pretty scary. Maybe one day I'll make a horror game with my house/neighborhood as the setting. It'd make a really good atmospheric horror game at least. I'm obsessed with horror games and movies now, likely because of all the stuff thats happened here. Sorry for my tangent.

[@mee2556]

[@rockercaterrorencountered4924]

"Stanger whith unknown motives is inside your house with you" is one of my absolute worst fear and I just signed up to possibly get an apartment in the next 6 months so I'm looking forward to this coming back to me as I spend my first night living alone 😆

[@clemdemort9613]

Hey if that can be of any reassurance, it's ok really, if living alone really terrifies you a lot you can still get a roommate , a smaller appartement or just live next to friends, it takes about a week or so to get used to but an appartement is wayy less scary than a house

[@0jaybird0]

You can get a door security bar to wedge under the door handle! They should be on Amazon, but hardware stores sometimes carry them, too

[@blahberrypancake]

I feel that on a spiritual level. I could never live in an actual house. The idea of someone sneaking in is the most terrifying thing. My whole life I lived in apartments and most of my life it was one on the last floor but even still, I was often scared when home alone at night. Now I live with just my brother and dog in a small apartment on the ground floor so technically it should be more scary but I actually feel very safe here. All our windows have outside metal blinds and our front door automatically locks itself whenever you open and close it so we gotta carry keys whenever we go out. So there's no way for someone to open the door from the outside without keys. And I really love that since I'm home alone most of the time. I'd say it's the best thing to get. I think you can buy one of those self locking locks online or at a store. They're so secure. It completely changes the game for me.

[@PapaLitka]

Literally just buy a gun ffs

[@blahberrypancake]

@@PapaLitka You know, other countries than USA don't really allow you to just go into a grocery store and come out with an AK-47 or something xd Most of us just have to do with actual door locks and a kitchen knife to protect our homes.

[@deevolveeee]

the thing i LOVE about this game, is its not some random horror thing that is jumpscaring you immediately, its not some outrageous situation like "your car broke down and you have to go into this creepy broken down house in the middle of nowhere to find parts for it." its an actual situation that people think about almost every single day. the horror is the fact that this COULD happen to you at any moment, and that this is something that happens to others nearly every day. the real horror is that you can picture yourself in this situation. the fear of not knowing what to do, and the fear that you may seriously die doing said thing. thats why i love horror games like this one, its a basic and easy route for a story, but its hits too close to home to not get you scared to keep playing the video. if it were not for me watching someone play, i would've closed the game. but thank you lots for playing this, i loved it.

This is one of the most terrifying horror games, the concept it’s just everyone’s nightmare as kids I think! Some actually had to experience it and it’s horrific! Actually, as a kid, I was TERRIFIED when I was alone at home, still do, but then, one night, the power went off and I couldn’t move! I was petrified in fear bc I was alone and there was no light, my parents called me on the phone and talked to me while they were rushing to get home bc I was so scared I couldn’t stop crying and screaming, even tho I couldn’t move at all I think this is something so similar and so well made! I’m not even playing the game and I was so scared when u went to answer Paula at the door jajajaja

I’m disappointed that I can’t really enjoy this game just because I’ve been home alone so many times for as long as I can remember, this type of scenario just doesn’t scare me and ends up feeling like a walking sim until the inevitable jumpscare which can only be so alarming
