[@asc3nded397]

Personally I actually felt this one was the scariest of the 3 chapters released so far. This one might not have had as much directly scary stuff but it did a fantastic job of keeping things super intense the entire time as little things go wrong slowly over time. You never knew what was going to happen next and it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

[@DaniCal1forn1a]

Yeah I feel the same way... something about the story unfolding and realising the protagonist was being pursued by an ex who'd clearly been stalking him freaked me out beyond belief 😳. I think it's putting myself in his shoes and wondering how she'd been doing it, and for how long... not to mention the potential collateral of my new partner and BOY 😭. It's like... if it's just me then that f*cking sucks, but my concern for someone I care about and a sweet doggo dying by association is emotionally devastating, especially if it's because I broke up with someone, even if it was the right thing and I did nothing wrong... I'd still feel guilty 😫. (Also while home invasion and being randomly targeted while on my travels scare me, being stalked hits a whole other level of fear... if someone found me at a house I'd never been to before on the night I went there it would be so incredibly scary - because they're clearly keeping reeeally close tabs on me 😫😭)

[@Raining_Skies]

indeed, I feel that in this chapter the developer found their rythym in a way

[@IcyAuron]

@TrainerblueTube This one was still plenty scary, but you're 100% right about you could've avoided the dangerous situations if the game would let you.

[@rockyledonio5341]

It definitely excels in keeping tension, but my opinion is that it lends itself too much into the narrative part of itself wherein it's a person telling a story and he did things his way while the other two were definitely more "you are someone being put at risk"

[@thepridefulprincess]

Honestly I think the first is the most impactful, the other two are action based, you have to do something. The first one is realistic, calling the police and hiding

[@commandercorl1544]

I'll be honest, I'm just here for Ash and Mat's banter. The gameplay is a nice touch, but the banter is what we're all here for. The fact that the GTLive crew has been pumping these out every 2 days is astonishing too! Don't tire yourselves! Also, as a vexillology buff, I am very proud of Mat. He was also right about African flag color schemes, and although Zambia is African, it was Guinea Bissau. Still close, only half way across the continent! Still though, congrats Mat. I got 100% personally, because I'm so intell-"Hey! Stop stabbing me with that kitchen knife, it hurts!" -🤓

I feel it's important to mention that Mat unknowingly skipped a part of the story, when he somehow ignored the pizza guy. I feel like that's a bug, and the game was supposed to still say the "I couldn't study someone was at the door" line when he hadn't taken and eaten the pizza. So I'd strongly recommend watching another let's play of this chapter, to see what you missed in this one. Might I even recommend the youtube @IGP he's one of my personal favorites indie horror game play channels atm. Anyway, I still like Mat's playthrough, he approaches games in a very specific way, and it's fun to watch.

Aww man, I would've liked to hear the banter during the pizza parrrttttt. The game prolly isn't going to let you just skip the main conflict (if that's what he thought the pizza delivery could be), and even if it did, what fun would that be?

So the fact that she followed the MC back to the Carson house is really nicely setup.

[@ReikaSensei]

The problem with the oven being on is that you can't actually leave it on because it could kill you. Like this character should have definitely called the cops, but like they could die in their sleep overnight if you didn't address the oven, so you kind of had to go down. An electric oven can cause a fire, and a gas oven could be a fire and carbon monoxide poisoning or maybe even kaboom? EDIT: Also, as a woman, I found the motel one to be horrifying because of just everyday sexual harassment and being a victim of stalking and people who think that they're entitled to you or your body. Also, I think Jacksepticeye said these were like users stories that they submitted that were just made into a game? That just makes it extra horrifying as someone who lives with PTSD over that kind of harassment.

[@Kit-ux4vp]

Well, realistically the police would have arrived within 5 minutes, so I don't think it's that bad leaving the oven on. As for me, the scariest episode was probably Home Alone, but Norwood Hitchhike is definitely a close second. Idk, something about the shadowy jumpscares really freaked me out. Lastly, I'm pretty sure rayll (the creator) uses a mix of people's stories to make his own final, realistic version.

[@ReikaSensei]

@@Kit-ux4vp The average response time isn't 5 minutes though. They looked up in another GT Live because of the mechanics of that game that the national average is about 7, but it all depends on where you live. Even in a list of the top 10 cities with response time, San Francisco at #1 even averages 5.46 minutes. Which is still on average over 5 minutes. Spot #10 of Fort Worth is even already 9.5 minutes, so if those are the top cities I don't think you can actually say realistically to that number. That said, I meant it in regards to the option of going back to sleep which was one of the things in the game. Calling the police definitely would have been a better option, but apparently since this dumb dumb didn't have that cross their mind, sleeping with the oven on was definitely a no.

I agree. The fear isn't really there. I've been bothered by all the fear to fathom games not allowing things like locking the door. But I assume it has something to do with "This is how the story went." HOWEVER---if it's 1996: There was no texting. Internet was slow dial up. Google/search engines didn't really exist, Security cameras didn't hook to computers.

[@DaniCal1forn1a]

I don't think it was 1996 based on the timing... submitted by a 28 yo about when they were 18, so it was ~10 years ago and the texts are accurate to that time 😅. If anything, the windows xp look on the computer is a little _out_ dated haha

[@stevenpina1983]

@@DaniCal1forn1a yeah I agree everything looks fine for it. Be in 10 years ago but why does the computer desktop look so old?

[@DaniCal1forn1a]

@stevenpina1983 Well 10 years ago, xp was still being used by some people... it stopped being available to buy in June 2008, and security updates (but not other support) were available until April 2014 - so the PC still having xp is definitely possible, especially for someone who's not so tech-savvy (like Mr Carson seems to be?)... it's plausible he didn't want to/didn't know to upgrade - and honestly with the next OS being vista, holding onto xp for as long as possible is probably better, and his son might have purposefully not helped him update it 🤣. I remember updating vista on my laptop aged 16ish and it nearly bricking it because vista was so terrible 😤. I remember distinctly not wanting vista and I think me and my dad even forced the system to roll back to/install xp instead for a while, until vista became more stable 🤔. It's not the same application, but I believe certain things like some crucial legacy systems used xp for a long time after mainstream support ended, because they can't be put at risk with a new and untested OS, and rolling over legacy systems to a new OS requires a _lot_ of work at times, because sometimes you've got to rewrite the code to transfer the utility of the legacy system to the new OS (and even then you're running them kinda in parallel for a while in case something goes wrong with the new system). However - this type of use case is an uncommon one, and would be done by someone who can either patch security updates in from newer OS updates themselves, or keep the system safe in other ways. (I even think there's a version of xp on a PC in my dad's house somewhere... on a partition of a PC, an old laptop - saved for posterity I guess? just in case, and/or a virtual machine on one of the main PCs for testing compatability and interactions between legacy systems and new ones 🤔). Although... with the PC seeming to be mainly used for the security camera system, it's quite possible that the system is a bit old and the software may only be compatible with xp, and if you've got a laptop for other things (like he has downstairs) then you're gonna just leave the security system PC alone since it only really has that task and you're not gonna be doing much browsing or working on it 🤷🏼‍♀️. (Sorry for the infodump, I apparently know a lot about this era of computing by association 🤣 - and living the absolute horror that was windows vista 🤬)

I can appreciate your fondness of laundromats Matt. When I was a kid, my friend and I would hang out at a small laundromat near my house. We liked to write music and movie ideas while enjoying the quiet and warmth inside.

[@SungtaeBookLover]

Ah you missed the jumpscare that was outside.

[@ukeleleguitar2087]

Words cannot express how happy I am that they’re playing another fears to fathom game! I watched this one on corys channel and loved it!

[@CentipedeThatsMe]

Mat isn't alone with the Killer ... The Killer is ALONE with Mat

[@katiemarra375]

I’ve been following Skinamarink as well! It looks equal parts terrifying and intriguing. I’m pumped!

[@TheRogueWolf]

I am _more_ than a little disturbed that Mat and I came up with the "Goth MILF?" joke at exactly the same time.

[@TheBerkerker]

Matpat calling everthing the "true horror" 😂

[@rockyledonio5341]

This series is definitely unique in that we're technically not supposed to "relate" because we aren't solving a puzzle as a player, as a player we're merely experiencing something similar to what story the submitter told the devs. The reason why I think MatPat found the Home Alone story scary is because he's a control freak and when suddenly so much control is taken away from him in that situation (he has explicitly stated before that his deepest fear is a Home Invasion) he definitely feels the fear (you could say, he fathoms it). I personally found Norwood Hitchhiker to be less on the "fear" side and more on the "mystery" side because the story itself is scary but the things that happen within it are more akin to something you'd see in a scooby-doo plot (that isn't to take away from how scary it is, cause when you think about it, the stuff that happens in Scooby Doo is scary if you think about it in a real life setting). This third one is definitely leaning in more into the fact that it's a narrative rather than something that has to be scary because of how strange but weirdly realistic these circumstances are

I had to look this up on the time frame. I was in high school in 1996 and they do way to much texting which wasn't much of a thing as cell tech was still a little earliy. it actually takes place in 2009.

[@Polloloco827]

Ash and Mat are like those two friends that make each other laugh in serious situations 😭

[@peblezQ]

The laundromat is the same one used in Arcade Paradise which I think you would love to play, MatPat! Has Laundromat/Arcade management mixed with laundry minigames and loads of fun Arcade games to play, and an intriguing story

The Math Theorists

[@rosa-chan9303]

I'm not sure if you've played any Chilla's Art games, but if creepy horror is up your alley then I would definately recommend them. They not only do supernatural horror, but some of their games are based on irl things that can and have happened to people. The convenience store, the closing shift, and the bath house are some of the creepiest games that developer has to offer and they recently came out with a new game called the Karaoke, but it is also sensitive in subject matter (more than the previous games at least) so player's discretion is strongly advised.

13:44 "It's like a sprinkler, man" Sprinkler time! Sprinkler time! Never need a reason, never need a rhyme...Sprinkler time!

[@seanla38]

The real horror of this game is the friends we made along the way

[@Emotochan3]

I especially love this blue jacket matpats wearing

[@fourcatsandagarden]

I forgot about the laundromat at the start of this game chapter. What even was up with that?

[@Celinra]

When I was little, my family didn't have a washer or dryer, so the laundromat was a regular stop. I honestly loved it, to the point where at school I once turned in something saying that was my favorite place to go (which I don't remember, but my parents told me about years later, because it just made them wonder what the teacher was going to think of them). No arcade cabinet at mine, but there was a toy corner / play area, I got along well with the woman who worked there (she sometimes gave me rocks for my rock collection), and if I was lucky, I would be allowed to get a can of pop from the vending machine - though I remember once instead getting a math problem about "If a 12-pack costs x, how much is each can? And how does that compare to the price in the vending machine?", and I had to reluctantly admit that no, it wasn't a very cost-effective purchase. Anyways, point is, one doesn't often hear about the laundromat being thought of as a fun place, so it's nice to know there's someone out there who feels similarly ^^

[@christiansarvela3228]

Your jacket looks like your classic red jacket but sponsored by Dinoco... and I absolutely LOVE it

[@mekhakreature]

His red one was cuz he was a newcomer with a smaller Rusteze deal, and now he's got the Dinoco deal! (new headcanon for sure)

[@lacey_moon]

This lil thread sent me lmao

[@fransiscayulianita68]

1:24:22 Weird that they changed it from "meth" to "hard drugs"

[@randomguyontheinternet7241]

"where is the bleach. I need bleach." Guess someone was watching cringe fangirls simp over any character you can think off at night.

[@pedrostormrage]

42:58 "Goth MILF energy! Got milk?" Please put "Goth MILF?" on a t-shirt 😂
