I've just realized that the Fears to Fathom games deal with more grounded fears of being harassed and stalked by unstable individuals with malicious intentions. I remember the first one where you hid underneath the bed the entire time, which is exactly what one would be expected to do during a home invasion. Games like these really unsettle me.
@@preciousdunbar6240 to say nothing of someone creeping through the window of your room when you're staying alone and then knocking casually and pleading to be let in, like YOU'RE the bad guy for not welcoming a voyeuristic stranger into the room you occupy _alone_, wondering if they're going to just smash the window and enter regardless, knowing that the owner of the establishment is just as likely to murder you as they are to help you
@@danem2215 ; yeah when i realized how long it was gonna go on for + the softblock bug where it continued, it was just genuinely pissing me off bc i have misophonia & had to remove my headphones (which are FOR my misophonia) during that whole thing. it was just super unnecessary, especially since you could tell it was *intentionally* obnoxious which not only pulled me totally out of the game, but also soured my mood toward it. idk if you have it as well, but it gets very fucking annoying. not just bc of ppl not taking it into consideration when making things like games, movies, etc., but bc ppl don't take it as something serious a lot of the time even tho it can lead to self-harm. it would be REALLYYYY great if devs would be as aware of things like misphonia as they are with epilepsy (although they arent always aware of that even).
OMG KATIEEE! I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE IT WAS YOU COMMENTING! I'm so glad you came back after that hiatus. you're one of my go-to's for chill and funny playthroughs (including john) haha. can't wait to watch you play this one omg
Have you seen him reacting to house tour videos on his other channel WolfeWatch? I'm pretty sure that's like the only video he uploaded there, but it's basically a whole lot of what you just described.
24:20 had a friend complaining her computer was slow...she told us that whenever the computer asked her anything she would just say "yes"...she had 4 different antiviruses running at once fighting for dominance
I like how out of all the playthrus I’ve watched John is the only one who was considerate to not make a mess in the bathroom and wanted to wash his hands lol
@@Popcornnugget nah they're good with suprises, but not really proper horror. It's kinda fleeting when they manage to do it cause then it's just chases, obnoxious jumpscares and headache inducing insanely loud sounds
@@skylarkblue1 there's more to the horror than the chases and loud noises in those games. a big part is the fear of not knowing where the killer is and it gets in your head big time, especially when you haven't seen them in like 40 minutes. the best example is nun massacre
The bit about the random portrait of a lady had me a dying. Only thing John was missing was a giant pearl earring. Also, it was awesome seeing John having so much fun with this game.
Might be a hot take but I enjoy seeing normal humans be the antagonists in horror games over monsters. Whilst fear of the unknown is a very good horror trope, it can also be horrifying to know that humans can be just as threatening as any monster if they’re armed. There’s also the fact that, unlike SCPs or the Paranormal, hostile humans are very much real, so knowing the situations actually have a chance of happening to you can be scary in it of itself
I totally get what you mean, i think that monsters have a great potential, but can be done very badly. Also, monsters can easily be ruined by a trope. For humans, tropes can almost make it better, as it's like "i've seen this happen so many times now, something about it must be true!"
It's nice to see games that aren't using the same monster model over and over again and actually going for something more realistic. Walking around a big house, knowing someone is going to be there eventually is terrifying.
It’s funny cause this exactly why I don’t usually like games/media like this 😂. I’m fully aware of how depraved humans can be, it’s a bit depressing, like I’m playing the game for escapism lmao I don’t wanna see real life 😮Lifetime movies are great tho😂 I believe in paranormal and stuff but I guess since I haven’t seen a monster yet they don’t scare me as much😂
yeah 100%. horror really started to change for me once i realized monsters just weren't as scary as real life. it's the quieter, more realistic horror that sticks with me now
It's really crazy the people who made this are only 17 years old. They have a great start in the video game industry by the look of it. I am surprised you didn't say at the beginning "This is not a Chilla's Art Game" LOL 5:30 I love how he is just like "I could have gotten hit by a car", but I am a main character so I am not being killed that easily. 10:20 That's funny John! You won't notice a HQ Residential house asset? I don't believe that for a hot second! I wonder if you could just throw the groceries on the road or in the toilet. Got to love these people! They can afford night vision on all the cameras, but when it comes to putting any locks on their doors well that's just too much.
Wait seriously? only 17?!?!? Wow, for someone that young they are great at storytelling, I am amazed by how well the game is paced and info is given to you.
The developer eye for details is what I think is most impressive. Each Fears to Fathom game has details in the background. In 1 the intruder can be seen watching the house, he goes upstairs in the background while you eat, drawers and doors open that weren't open before, in 2 the prowler can be seen walking into the woods in the beginning, etc. I didn't notice any myself but there are probably examples of Cara stalking you before she enters the house.
Last night I saw this chapter was out because other people have uploaded it, but was like, "Nah, I'll wait for John to play it." I checked your channel just in case. And today you uploaded it! This makes me so happy, John, you're my favourite content creator and a serious aid to my mental health. Thanks for all the entertainment and the grounding your videos give me when daily life gets tough!
@@jameswent48wow...it IS english. "sending me" is an idiom, and "seing" is just a typo, delete the "s" and insert a "b"...I saw it right away, unless you didn't watch the video?
If the stories are fake, I'd guess that's on the end of the ones who submit the stories as opposed to the dev himself. From what I can tell he takes user-submitted stories and picks one to make into a game segment. So if the stories are fake (and I'm sure many of them are), it's not on the dev. But I appreciate that whether the stories are true or not, they're plausible. That's what makes it scary. And I agree, the over-monologuing damaged the immersion. Hopefully the dev hears and applies that criticism.
...I came here after watching the recent episode of this, I hadn't seen the previous ones, and I was about to come down to the comments specifically to compliment his hair haha, it really looks good here
I have to agree, it'll be hard to outdo Norwood Hitchhike. But I'm excited to see the next episodes! This is such a fun series! I especially love the little clues and details that might be easy to miss, and the little sound cues around the house.
Idk, but in the 90’s everyone’s parents always labeled all their household gadgets with the names. My parents definitely did it! They even did it with our VHS tapes 😂
You articulated some of my own feelings on the game super well! I totally agree that it felt more rigid than the previous ones, linear to a fault and way too heavy on the narration. Even with those issues though, Rayll still succeeded in creating a really good atmosphere and tension, and I’m super excited for the next ftf episodes to see what they do next
bringing real dad energy this playthrough, criticising the uneven driveway and difficult-to-mow lawn, complimenting the interior decor 😂 is it weird that it made me smile when you talked typefaces briefly? blast from the past xD
I also appreciate the realistic décor they have in these games, but I honest to god would have the picture of John at 14:45 hanging in my bathroom if I could.
I actually liked how Cara was designed, mainly because the message of that chapter was that drugs can change someone (either for better or worse). In the case of some people like the guy that wrote the End Poem for Minecraft and decided to release it for free after a trip, that's a case of how drugs don't always negatively affect someone. Their relationship was fine at first, but she ended up getting addicted to meth (for some reason a newer patch changes that to unspecified "hard drugs") and began spiraling from there. Heavily under the influence of drugs and alcohol, she begins losing it when Noah breaks up with her and eventually starts dating someone else. But she can't forget about him, and finding out that Noah moved on only made it worse. Another thing to mention is that if you're housesitting like Noah was, you clearly wouldn't expect your ex-girlfriend to show up and harass you at the place that wasn't even your own house. Andy mentioned that Cara had _just_ been at the store and bought a bunch of random shit before leaving. As you're biking up, you can literally see her leaving and walking to her car (32:01) so she was clearly around to watch you and decided to follow you back to the house. You never know when someone's watching you. You never know when someone you knew and used to trust might end up turning on you. That's the real horror of this chapter, fuck that shit.
I was rewatching your old videos of the other chapters recently wondering when the next one was going to be released, so glad to see they're still working on it and that I can watch you play it!!!!! You're my go-to youtuber for when I want to see a game that I'm too scared to play, thank you John!!
The best part of these games, always always always, is watching John snoop through the house and riff on the house and the weirdo video game people lol. One of my favorite parts was probably the convenience store with the MILF talk, John shopping, and the two ladies walking into each other in place with the passive aggressive smiles lmao Yeah, I think John's assessment at the end is very fair. The music and sound design in this episode was by far my favorite part of it, and I think one of the strongest parts of the series overall, it did a lot of the heavy lifting this episode for spookiness. Aside from the first jumpscare (which did get me good), it didn't feel too creepy to me tbh. The weird Adult Swim type show felt like it was maybe supposed to be filling in for the creepiness like maybe the dev realized it was a little slow and wanted to spice it up, but it was just too on-the-nose "creepy" that it just made it weird these guys loved it so much lol.
I think my biggest issue with this game is the long exposition before you get to the meat of the game. Idk if the dream sequence was supposed to be symbolic of something or not, but I felt like I could've done without that. They could have also taken a Puppet Combo route of putting small chores/tasks around the house to get you acquainted with the layout rather than all the wandering and random text convos happening in between.
"Who owns 2 laundry baskets?" Cue me looking over my shoulder at both my laundry baskets. Albeit, one is for my overflow of clean clothes. But I digress
Right. I have one for my work clothes and one for my regular clothes. Then I have some baskets for my bed sheets that I like to break out for guest. Honestly I couldn’t imagine having only one laundry basket.
me too!! i was rewatching his playthrough of twdg s1 from like 2012 and i kept finding my old comments on his videos haha 😅 im really happy he's still on yt(:
thanks for mentioning the drug thing, sometimes games make mental illness and drug abuse into an oOOOooOOo SPoooKy SCaarry thing when theyre just issues that need treatment and not stigma. I dont think most authors have bad intentions and theyre just following common horror tropes but id love to see it less as the antagonist in horror games
Yes people with drug and severe mental health issues are known to never be dangerous to others whatsoever. Can't possibly imagine why anyone would ever think that
@@pennpaper723 Well, it certainly does happen. But it's also true the trope is used alot. Most drug addicts and mentally ill people are more dangerous to themselves than others.
@@pennpaper723 prob bcs popular crime shows and movies and games like these in general have already stigmatized the mentally ill and drug abuser as a dangerous criminal. just saying
@@kayleekidman4751 So having her just be a skeezy pyschotic ex with attachment and abandonment issues is better? At least her being a junkie gives her backstory as to why she is the way she is.
15:14 **Nervous sweating** Yeah.. haha, I know right? Almost as ridiculous as owning three laundry baskets. Not that I own three laundry baskets or anything, of course not.
My first thought when seeing this is my subscription box. "No way! I was wondering when they'd come out with another one of these!" I'm so stoked to watch this, it'll be a nice break from re-watching all the old RE play throughs in anticipation of the RE4 remake. Now if only we could get some news on My Friendly Neighbourhood.
@15:06 ...I have 2 laundry baskets... Originally intended to have one for whites, the other for non-bleach stuff. But I only use one while doing laundry in my apartment building, to keep my stuff off the floor from the washer to the drier, and a clean spot to hold delicate stuff I shouldn't put in the crude drier. The other basket has been idle, but I think I'll use it to hold stuff, I would normally just throw on the floor like a getto person.
Games like this really show just how effectively a developer can create tension and fear, despite having very little actual content in a game, just by being good at what they do.
Yay! Can't wait to watch! Sending lots of love and good vibes for this new year, for you, Kimmy, friends, family and Belle! Hoping you're having a good weekend ♥. Stay as healthy as possible!
bro it took me ages to realize that the "cans" she bought was beer... I legit thought she was buying a shit ton of soup and his friends assumed she was having a soup party
I was SO relieved they didn't go down the, "she was mentally ill! thats why she tried to stab me!" route... Horror is especially unkind to people with mental illnesses so it's refreshing when stigma isnt pulled
I was patiently awaiting for John's playthrough and here it is! Loved your previous Fears to Fathom videos; so excited to see how you like this one. Also, there's a house so I know there will be some interior design critiques
I have to say. After watching someone play episode 4 then coming back so watch john play 3 for the 20th time (because his reaction to the chewing gets me every time) I like ep 4 better simply because the character actually washes their hands😂😂
did john pay attention to episode 2? It literally ends like 30 seconds after anything scary happens because guy 1 walks in to punch guy two, the other 40 minutes was driving and walking back and forth to grab this or that.
OMG I died at John's reaction to how long that dude was chewing -- (In fairness I hate the sound of people chewing so it really bugged me too) when the game bugged out
The beginning confused me so much bc of the laundromat. It is arcade paradise 100% and caught me off guard and got me in the feels so much that I want to start playing it again xD

"Let's see if the Carsons believe in tipping," John said, as he examined the refrigerator's contents strewn across the kitchen floor.

By the standards of many modern-day workers who think they deserve a tip for simply existing in public, it still fits.

Words cannot express how happy I am that the dog survived!
Thanks for letting me know. Going to watch the video now.
I was looking for a comment like this before watching 😂
Dogs are actually not all that great once you wake up from the decades of programming by media.
Thank you so much! I was so nervous once I saw a dog in game.
I'm glad he's okay!

John's hair looks great in this episode! Shoulder length suits him so well 😮

I love how HQ residential house will always have a place in Wolfe lore now lol!
For some reason this episode was the most scary for me out of all 3. The tension was insane!
You know why the developers decorate their houses in their games properly, it's to avoid getting roasted by you, John.
I fucking love the Fears to Fathom games! Thank you for playing, John! Love watching your reactions :)
This game is really good at building up a creepy atmosphere of being stalked.

Cue me looking over my shoulder at both my laundry baskets. Albeit, one is for my overflow of clean clothes. But I digress
Same. We own like 4-6. I find with this many laundry baskets it's easier to do and hold clothes.
@@preciousdunbar6240 Yeah, I like to have 2 or 3 so I can separate regular clothes, pajamas, and work clothes.
Right. I have one for my work clothes and one for my regular clothes. Then I have some baskets for my bed sheets that I like to break out for guest.
Honestly I couldn’t imagine having only one laundry basket.
Dirtied clothes basket, clean basket 👍🏽
i love seeing John annoyed lmao. the way the game bugged with the eating noises playing non-stop was too funny XD

I have been a critical viewer for over a decade and i love seeing you are still making videos. keep it up jonathan, proud of you!
me too!! i was rewatching his playthrough of twdg s1 from like 2012 and i kept finding my old comments on his videos haha 😅 im really happy he's still on yt(:
Jonathan Wolfe 🤣
this episode is genuinely terrifying. had me on the edge of my seat the whole time 🫣
45:10
The way John was slowly getting irritated by the chewing. The expression on his face and reactions leading up to it killed me 🤣🍕
1:03:46 I Am Lmaoing! First I’ve Seen Him Shocked & Scared In A Gameplay 🤣🤝
thanks for mentioning the drug thing, sometimes games make mental illness and drug abuse into an oOOOooOOo SPoooKy SCaarry thing when theyre just issues that need treatment and not stigma. I dont think most authors have bad intentions and theyre just following common horror tropes but id love to see it less as the antagonist in horror games
Yes people with drug and severe mental health issues are known to never be dangerous to others whatsoever. Can't possibly imagine why anyone would ever think that
@@pennpaper723 Well, it certainly does happen. But it's also true the trope is used alot. Most drug addicts and mentally ill people are more dangerous to themselves than others.
@@pennpaper723 prob bcs popular crime shows and movies and games like these in general have already stigmatized the mentally ill and drug abuser as a dangerous criminal. just saying
I love your comment. You put it better than I could have put it. The fact that she’s a drug addict could’ve been left out. it only causes a stigma.
@@kayleekidman4751 So having her just be a skeezy pyschotic ex with attachment and abandonment issues is better? At least her being a junkie gives her backstory as to why she is the way she is.
I'm actually crying, the chewing bit killed me off.
the chewing part left me in tears oh my god
Wrong, wrong, wrong. I always want to hear about people's dreams. 😂😂😂😂 That being said, I love your commentary on all of your videos. 😂😂😂
Right? Me and my friend have some crazy ass dreams and love talking about em.
I love telling my crazy dreams to other people and I felt personally called out during that entire part lol
@@sofiipote7 sameee
57:19 Ok but literally, my biggest jump scare! I don't think one has gotten me that good in years 💀
15:14 **Nervous sweating** Yeah.. haha, I know right?
Almost as ridiculous as owning three laundry baskets.
Not that I own three laundry baskets or anything, of course not.
My first thought when seeing this is my subscription box. "No way! I was wondering when they'd come out with another one of these!" I'm so stoked to watch this, it'll be a nice break from re-watching all the old RE play throughs in anticipation of the RE4 remake. Now if only we could get some news on My Friendly Neighbourhood.
I also love the attention to detail in these games. You never really appreciate it until you play a Unity asset flip with no placeables.
5:24 GOTTA SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP 🧹🧹
57:17 scared TF out of john lol

...I have 2 laundry baskets...
Originally intended to have one for whites, the other for non-bleach stuff. But I only use one while doing laundry in my apartment building, to keep my stuff off the floor from the washer to the drier, and a clean spot to hold delicate stuff I shouldn't put in the crude drier. The other basket has been idle, but I think I'll use it to hold stuff, I would normally just throw on the floor like a getto person.
John just staring waiting for the chewing to end 😂 Got me so good
12:05 LOL No!! I love hearing about peoples dreams!! xD ---the commentary on the whole house and is hilarious.
10:00 Loved the way John instantly leaves when he sees its the basement lmao
Games like this really show just how effectively a developer can create tension and fear, despite having very little actual content in a game, just by being good at what they do.
Could not stop laughing through most of this vid, John's commentary through the groceries scene & return to the house, so good
Yay! Can't wait to watch! Sending lots of love and good vibes for this new year, for you, Kimmy, friends, family and Belle! Hoping you're having a good weekend ♥. Stay as healthy as possible!
The 14:40 part killed me 😂 haven't finish the video yet but that part made me already 👍 it, I just love John's impersonifications
John's commentary is just what I need on a Monday morning. Thanks John!
John giving that good boy the pats he deserves.
I really appreciate John's critiques. He always tries to be fair and kind in them.
1:03:44 that realisation was too good lol
That had me crying
John's font name knowledge is so entertaining
Ohmygod the chewing glitch with John's dead inside face was so funny 🤣
LOL John grows with us. He too understands the perils of home ownership and lawn care issues with ill placed fencing.
The neighbor who built the fence went against code 😂
bro it took me ages to realize that the "cans" she bought was beer... I legit thought she was buying a shit ton of soup and his friends assumed she was having a soup party
I was SO relieved they didn't go down the, "she was mentally ill! thats why she tried to stab me!" route... Horror is especially unkind to people with mental illnesses so it's refreshing when stigma isnt pulled
These Gen Z conversations have me rolling 😂
I was patiently awaiting for John's playthrough and here it is! Loved your previous Fears to Fathom videos; so excited to see how you like this one. Also, there's a house so I know there will be some interior design critiques
John: "2 laundry baskets? Who owns 2 laundry baskets?"
Me who owns 2 laundry baskets: 😳
12:55 lmao. I text exactly like that to the clients I work for
Yes, I patiently waited for John's playthrough! I can't wait to see what this episode brings!
I have to say. After watching someone play episode 4 then coming back so watch john play 3 for the 20th time (because his reaction to the chewing gets me every time) I like ep 4 better simply because the character actually washes their hands😂😂
These games are great because they definitely stem from realistic scenarios. Love the video John, never stop making these
did john pay attention to episode 2? It literally ends like 30 seconds after anything scary happens because guy 1 walks in to punch guy two, the other 40 minutes was driving and walking back and forth to grab this or that.
As someone who uses "ya" in texts, I feel personally attacked D: I was waiting for this playthrough tho!
55:39 You got me with that MADTV reference!! Hats off sir!
John dying because he narrated his current situation is something I didn't know i needed to see.
John: “Now who has two laundry baskets?”
Meanwhile my Mom’s house has 4 laundry baskets, one for each of us
I own two laundry baskets, and let me tell ya; life is pretty great. You don't know what you're missing out on!
I couldn't stop laughing at your thumbnail 😭😂
OMG I died at John's reaction to how long that dude was chewing -- (In fairness I hate the sound of people chewing so it really bugged me too) when the game bugged out
The beginning confused me so much bc of the laundromat. It is arcade paradise 100% and caught me off guard and got me in the feels so much that I want to start playing it again xD
god the flea market montgomery jingle 😂 to this day i cant hear the word "dinette" without thinking of it
