The fact they are real storys immediately makes them more scary, because it immediately makes you feel like this could happen to you. You feel like your in the shoes of the character you play as.
Honestly whenever I see "this actually happened" in these kinds of game I get really skeptical, but it"# not as if this happening is super unrealistic.
@@someney that is true, but if you don't at least know vaguely where the intruder is (second floor, first floor, basement etc,) then you must assume they could be anywhere. Definitely grab a weapon before heading out.
Yeah, at least use the backdoor and not literally the only place where you have a picture of somebody lurking... Also does that mean that the game continues if you listen to the mom?
A piece of geniune advice, if you feel someone might legimately be in your house, don't investigate, get out or get to your family. Lock yourself in a room with a weapon if you can't leave. Don't wander and absolutely call the police
This is the main reason why I’m so happy I have a 1 story house.. because there’s really no where to hide and it’s all in safe distance.. while this game has alot of places for the intruder to hide since while your on one floor.. the intruders somewhere else completely!
Honestly, one of the scariest parts about this is their bedroom layout. I'd never want a bedroom where I couldn't see everything from my bed. The fact that his bed is around a corner where you can't see the rest of the room is terrifying, and I don't know how anyone could feel safe in a room like that.
Worse is when I've seen layouts where no side of the bed is directly against any wall; it's just "floating," somewhere in the center of the room. I refuse to believe anyone who does that is human. They're a skinwalker or something.
Is there an ending linked to going out the back door? 😂 I probably would’ve legged it out the back door or front door and across the street the moment I saw those footsteps going upstairs.
This gave me the exact feeling I felt when I thought an intruder was in my home. My family had gone to help my nan with a hospital appointment, I was excited to have the house to myself after school. However, as the evening went on, I kept hearing furniture being moved upstairs, footsteps creaking the floorboards and hushed whispers about the layout of the house. I was shitting myself. I spent the evening with a ladel in my hand and a knife in my belt. My eyes and ears started to play tricks on me, seeing things in doorways etc. Never been so happy for my family to come home lmao. Turns out, the neighbours had moved in a day early and we have thin walls. They were moving their furniture around and talking about where to put things. The rest of the sounds and sights were just my brain playing tricks on me. Felt like an idiot haha.
My one was knowing my mum and dad were upstairs and hearing the folding door creep open at 2am downstairs I got so fucking terrified the next morning my mum asked me why she found me asleep under the bed concealed by two large boxes with a knife and a hockey stick whilst under the covers was 3 pillows as well as the door being barred with three chairs a Yamaha keyboard and a chest of drawers Turns out it was my brother who had decided that 2am was a great time to go outside and smoke a ciggie Fuck you louis you scarred me for life
I grew up in a house with three large sliding glass doors on the rear of the house. Once I was babysitting my little siblings and had put them to bed upstairs. I locked the sliding doors and drew the vertical blinds. I stayed downstairs watching tv with a sliding door to my right and the other sliding doors along the wall behind me. This was before smartphones and everyone having a flashlight in their pocket. I say that because suddenly a flashlight beam swept through the sliding door where the blinds were broken (by us kids). I was terrified out of my mind. I sat still listening for any movement or voices but hearing nothing. I turned my head and watched as the flashlight beam moved toward the neighbors yard. I crept closer to peek between the blinds. An adult man carrying a flashlight was moving through my backyard, moving in a strange pattern around the bushes and perimeter of the house. He walked off around the side of my house and toward the street out front. About 5 minutes later my parents came home to me terrified. Turns out the man and his wife were looking for a lost family dog.
My grandparents for YEARS, put those large yardsticks used for mixing paint in the little channels for sliding doors. Even if somehow someone unlocked the door or if we forgot, the stick would prevent someone from entering or at the very least, give you extra time to get away.
@@BagelBites246 I currently have a sliding door in my house, and we do that too. My father would cut wood according to the measurements and then placed it there so if someone tried to break in, they couldn't
Dude. You had 100% reason to be scared. He could have been a thief, or worse..... hell, if I was you I would have called the police on the guy. He had a flashlight, in someone else’s yard, shining lights in other people’s houses. He wasn’t saying anything(?) so who’s to say he wasn’t scoping the place..
This really is a situation in which "ignorance is bliss" get a whole new meaning, cause you can't be scared of something you don't know exists, like jack said at some point in this video "i would be way less scared if i hadn't seen him walk up the stairs"
I love how jack interacts with us like when we got jump scared he talked to us about his fears and asked if we got scared too AND I WAS TERRIBLY TERRIFIED
I had my volume turned up all the way and Jack scared the fuck out tof me in the intro, more than the video. I think I instantly gained heart problems from that
I knew that jumpscare was there but it seemed like he couldn't walk outside so I didn't expect it that abruptly. I jumped so hard and my heart skipped a beat.
The dread this builds is better than any jump scare. Then adding the one is what made this work really due to us just anticipating the inevitable. I need to give this game a closer look
I mean he got jump scared so badly he wanted to relax the rest of the day and if you where in his shoes you would probably wanna do the same seeing how seàn literally went into the fetal position
Mom: sends him a picture of a stranger at the front door, tells him to lock the door Jack: Opening the same door the man is standing in front of in the picture
@@sakana12500 I think they mean that this is horror game is not some cheap jumpscares that get you off guard and last or a moment and then it is over, but more of terror where you are terrified the entire experience as it goes on you feel more and more afraid not from anticipation of a jumpscare but fear from the unknown.
Most of these horror games don't get a scare out of me, but that genuinely gave me a deep feeling of anxiety. The last jump scare there was absolutely terrifying.
It's probably because games like Fnaf 99.99% of the time won't happen. But this happens a lot and you know if could happen to you, I knew there was gonna be a jumpscare the moment he opening the door but I screamed like a bitch when it happened
I've always said this. Realistic and sometimes real horror stories and games will always be more terrifying than the supernatural types. It feels much more grounded and plausible that it makes you stop and think "Could this happen to me?" This then leads to more paranoia as you put yourself in the characters' shoes and realize that this *could* happen to you. It makes things much more personal which continues to up the horror.
The closest I've come to a situation like this was back when I lived in a not-so-good apartment community. Someone knocked on the door while I was home alone and one of my dogs went crazy barking, so I got up to check and no one was there. A few days later I found out a handful of apartments were robbed. The robber would knock and if no one answered they assumed no one was home and broke in. If my dog hadn't gone nuts I probably would have ignored the knock and went back to sleep (as a young petite woman there was no way I would have answered alone). What would have happened if she hadn't barked and I hadn't answered and he broke in and found me sleeping? To this day I credit her with possibly saving my life. RIP sweet Noel.
8:52 at the exact moment Jack opened the door my phone reminder to take my meds went off and vibrated which made a really loud noise and scared the absolute piss out of me. The best part is I just recently learned how to change the default message and as a goof I put “don’t be afraid” but let me tell you I very much was.
You, a person who obviously likes watching horror stuff, put "don't be afraid" as your message reminder for pills? I don't know if that genius or masochistic
i couldn't imagine accidentally leaving the back door open, or even just unlocked, like that. if this was me at that age i'd be checking the locks every thirty minutes, closing all the blinds and locking myself in the bathroom the second i was paranoid
If I left the doors unlocked and the windows and I knew someone one was in my house I would just get out of there as soon as i can and stay at a friend's house
None of the doors in my house (except the front and back doors) lock and We don't have any blinds or curtains yet, so this is actually once of my biggest fears
No dead ass I get made fun of for instinctively locking the door every time I go in my house, even if I’m leaving like 2 minutes later I lock every lock because I’m terrified of something like this
My cousin just told me a terrifying story from when she was a kid. She used to wake up a lot in the middle of the night, and she got in the habit of going down to the living room to watch tv. She told me that one time, in the dead of night, she was downstairs watching tv when a man came into the living room. She said they looked at each other for a minute and then he just turned around and left. She said she always thought it was a ghost but like….that was 100% just an intruder who saw a kid and realized he should leave.
The thing that makes this game even better is that the player knows that there’s a person in the house but they can’t do anything about it, and the actual character doesn’t know so it causes so much more suspense because the character is doing normal things like getting a glass of water at night whilst the player is freaking out about running into the intruder. Such a great game! *edits under here, read if you wish* Edit: this literally blew up overnight, wtf 💀 EDIT EDIT: YALL STOP LIKING THIS I DIDNT EXPECT THIS TO BLOW UP, it’s just me badly explaining dramatic irony 😔
Seriously. Especially considering this happened to a real person apparently so it's more unnerving to know that they is what they actually went through.
So crazy that Jack went from now knowing anything about the series, saying that Evelyn suggested it, to voicing one of the characters in the fourth fears to fathom
@@Godviahh This wasnt even the end lol ive played the game it still had a good 5 mins jack just died here and wasnt suppose to open the door cause if look out the blinds closest to the door u see the person and its a mild jumpscare and ur suppose to go hide under the bed no leave and get urself killed lol so theres a another one or two jumpscares
As someone with anxiety this game was incredibly horrifying, because of how this could happen to anybody and how real it is, the second the sun sets when I’m home alone I’m terrified and extremely paranoid
Anyone with wooden floors knows the pain of sitting there trying to sleep and hearing the floorboards creak as they naturally lose tension or whatever, so you’re sitting there for a second trying to figure out if it was a footstep, how far away it was, and if you should whip your covers off.
Imagine how horrible you would feel as Mason, declining to come over to your friend’s house and then learning that he was home alone when an attacker broke in 💔
"Stories are true base on the person who survived." The first episode wasn't finished sean meaning you have to find a way to know the rest of the story
@@BloodMoonCosplays He wasn't supposed to open the door. He was supposed to do what the mom told him which was lock the doors and go upstairs and hide. I can't remember exactly how it ends but that *is* what you're supposed to do to finish the story.
i feel like the key to this genuinely being scary is that is so much more connected to the real world and isn’t made with some monster you know is fake. And i like how it’s programmed so when the player has lost all good and so much fear is built up that they try to leave this house is when they release the jump scare, perfect
I think another factor is the difficulty of the game. Like if you keep failing an objective over and over again and have to keep replaying it, it kinda loses it’s scariness
I’m a general fan of any type of horror game but one of worst personal fears is anything home invasion related, just from childhood experience. Haven’t started the video yet but I recognized the thumbnail so I’m sure this will be a good one lol
This is honestly one of the scariest games ever. The quality and background noise and how dark it is really makes it feel so real. Something Jack didn’t know is after you get the message from the mother saying to lock the doors, if he went over to the window next to the front door, he could peak outside and see the intruder at the door. Then when he hides under the bed, you can here a constant knock at the door and glass would break. It is honestly such a terrifying scene.
The fact that he was listening for footsteps is something I feel scared doing.I sometimes go downstairs and hear the dishwasher and listen for steps the entire time.
That’s probably why Jack didn’t think there were any other endings though, like there was just one linear path in the code to the “right” ending. He did want to just wait under the bed but, you wouldn’t know how long you’d have to wait to see if that’s a viable option in the game.
We must change that, imagine you sit in corner thinking if i dont move i wont trigger that thing so im cool, then you see eyes from the darkness watching you, waiting - next moment that thing rush you and disapears, complete silence. So after 10 - 20 s you are feeling like - ok now i can move and than jumpscare with loud scream and lights go out completley but you dont lose you must get out..
if you see the intruder at the front door, you can start locking all the doors as your mom advised, especially the back door and then hide. By doing so, it delays the intruder from trying to get in and Paula will be rushing towards the front door, enough to scare the intruder away. She'll be ringing the front door as usual and soon after, the cops arrive. It saves you the stress of dealing with him indoors.
Having someone attempt to break into your house while your parents are gone stirs the worst feelings of dread imaginable, and this game perfectly replicates that.
@@JeloOW Yeah, same here. I wasn't alone, (and probably sleep deprived) but I thought I could hear people in my house go through the door and walk around the hallways.
I'm always so impressed at how he notices people and things moving in the background. I'm oblivious as all hell. 9/10 times I'm sitting here thinking everything's fine until he reacts to something and I have to go back and see what it was lol
When I was younger I was followed home from school by a van. I literally went and hid in some bushes then went to a house nearby to stay. I was scared, but the people in the house were so warm and welcoming. If they had not been home idk what would have happened to me.
As a kid, I had bad anxiety and would feel paranoid while in my own home. This game captured what I felt perfectly... looking both ways before turning a corner, going up stairs and not being able to see behind you, thinking you saw movement from where you want to go, knowing that you don't know... It's bringing back apprehension that I thought I had finally escaped.
Hope all is okay man. Easy to say from someone without that level of anxiety, but it’s easy to imagine things when you’re thinking so deeply about it. No shame in going to see someone about it, family, friends, a psychiatrist, etc. it must have an affect on your daily life to not feel safe in your home. Hope all is good otherwise ❤️
Oh my god I relate so much. For a very long time I was totally the exact same, couldn't even go down the hallway without having my back against the wall. This is bringing it all back
same. in middle school i would stay up late scared someone would break into my window. when i was babysitting my siblings the slightest noise scared me
If you notice the footsteps going up the stairs, it’s a defining moment in this game as well as the main reason why it’s such an anxiety inducing experience. Because the in game character doesn’t notice it and it puts us in a position of power because we are aware of the intruder’s presence. Dk if that made sense but I hope you get my point Edit: The slow, dragged out and almost serene walk just adds to the fear factor
@@soundwavesuperior28 knowing someone’s in your house is a lot more scary than being oblivious to an intruder’s presence. It’s not that hard to understand.
He just needs to calm down. I don't blame him for needing a break after that, especially since he's still recovering from the Rona on top of allergies.
this game makes me glad my house doesn’t have attic entrances through the closet ceilings. i’ve heard too many stories about people squatting in attics. at least i know if they come down it’s from a single entrance that does NOT lead to my bedroom! edit: also very glad i have a big dog and two brothers so i will never TRULY be alone at night 💀
I find as I’ve gotten older I’ve gotten less cared of the paranormal and more of actual people so this game completely freaked me out. Especially since I’ve started to listen to murder podcasts.
I believe in ghosts, but the only bad ones are at abandoned places, as they're abandoned for a reason. People can be anywhere though and that's terrifying
Yeah the more I've been listening to true crime podcasts and true crime shows I've been more scared of people and less of ghosts and monsters, especially as a girl.
Spoiler for the game: It's funny cause Jack doesn't know that there are three endings to that one part, one for you opening the door, one for him being in the parent's bedroom and you hiding until the cops come.
@@narstietokez3713 Obviously, I would too, but being there *with them*, and not knowing if they’re going to hurt you or not, or if they know you’re there
For me it’s worse knowing the likely hood of being robbed as I have been whilst out with family so then there’s the constant fear of if they’ll come back. Absolutely horrifying
ikr? Like, if im away, cool. break in, take what you need, I'm just glad no one's got hurt. If I or someone else is in the home, too, that adds a new level of scary. Like, you're completely at ease in a comforting environment. you're at your most vulnerable, and some stranger violates that safe space and puts you in danger.
Jack convinced himself that somebody is already in the house *so hard* that he just straight up walked out to the guy still trying to break *into* the house.
you know how much of a good person Sean is just by the fact he says sorry for allergies when realistically he has done so many videos and brightened so many days that he could stop uploading if he just felt slightly off. Thank you.
This is such a creative idea! Taking people's actual stories and recreating them so the player can have an in depth experience of what they went through is just extra spooky. Not surprised Gab recommended this. She's the queen of indie horror.
The best horror stories are those grounded in reality. The more realistic, the scarier it becomes. One of the best examples is Junji Ito's 'The Bully'.
Definitely is, I’d say part of the immense horror is that it’s real and the fact that it can happen to anyone, even you, even me, all of us in one day perhaps? The horrors of a true story is something that will always outweigh fictional horror, no matter how much more threatening or twisted a fictional horror creature or entity is from the fabric of reality itself within our own grasp of comprehension and understanding, because you never know when it may happen to you in your own comforts of home or safety, once it has been invaded. Anyone got any ideas thoughts or replys for this comment i made :D
When Sean started narrating the written text I COMPLETELY missed the fact that it was him talking and thought the game had recorded dialogue and I was like "Oh that's weird, the voice actor sounds like Sean".... took me a min to realise....... I feel stupid now...
OMG!!! I'm so glad I wasn't the only one.. I had this on in the background to listen to and literally thought "hang on, has Sean narrated this game and he is now just "passively" promoting his own work?"
No matter what, humans will always be the most dangerous creature that has ever existed on earth, sure a demon could be terrifying, but could a demon kill one of it’s own kind just for a piece of land for them to control?
I mean. When you think about it. Humans ARE the reason why horror creatures exist. Think about it. Any story, Any movie, Any drawing or any game that has a horror creature. That Horror creature exist because a Human created it.
As someone who is watching this while they are home alone, while it is dark out with dogs constantly barking at something I can’t see this was highly entertaining
"Horror" is too simple of a description like this is anxiety, panic, paranoia and holy shit that type of fear is just different. Very cool game. I can't imagine if in the near future we could get something like this game on VR...
Assuming you have VR, I don't know if you've tried VR Chat. It's got worlds that player themselves create and some of them are horror worlds. I haven't found any that's more anxiety and paranoia based. But there's one where it has my lowkey phobia of mannequins. I forgot the name of that specific world but there's another one (with mannequins as well) made by OfficialSayon called Unshattered Destination. Super creative and great content in my opinion. You should give it a try!
This reminds me about a story my mom told me when she was around 7-10 years old that a man got into her house once at night. My grandmother woke up early and it was dark in her bedroom, but her bathroom light was on and she could have sworn she turned it off before bed, she looked a little to the left and saw the dark outline of a person. It was a man just staring at them while they slept. She quickly woke up my grandfather who was next to her and my grandfather beat the crap out of him and called the police. My grandmother immediately went to my mom’s room to check if she was alright. Luckily, my mom was still asleep when she went in her room, so the man only went into my grandparents room. That was the scariest story I’ve ever heard.
My mom told me when she was a kid it was raining one night and she kept hearing tapping on the window, so she’d go into her parents room and tell them. They said it was just the wind. She went back to bed and tried to fall asleep but she kept hearing the tapping. After a few more minutes of that there was eventually a flash of lightning and she could see the outline of a person in front of the window. She screamed and could hear footsteps walking away on their wooden deck. That next morning my grandpa found muddy footprints that had walked all around the outside of the house.
@@gabyyte470 first off, the reason she knew my grandfather at that age is because that was her father lol. Also, when the police arrived they said the man was acting like he was on drugs and was completely out of it. He was like a mindless zombie, so that’s why he didn’t flee.
@@gabyyte470 I don’t think you’re quite understanding genetics. He is my grandfather because he is my mom’s dad. Your parent’s parents are your grandparents. It’s simple genetics. And my grandmother is my mother’s mom.
4:27am here, i am not trying to fix the schedule anymore, every time i try i give up during the day and sleep, im nocturnal now PS: of course i am on vaccation, so yhea, for now i don't really have alot of pressure to stop being nocturnal, but truth be told, i was supposed to have training this week in the morning, but none of the guys texted in the group confirming the time, so im kind of confused, wonder if i was supposed to know the time and be there
Dude, I took low level classes, and figuring this kid actually could yell at the intruder (which is an achievement) or open the door, despite your mom saying otherwise, tells me this kid was lower than that, lol. I completed my homework in like 1-2 hours, and this is secondary/high school so it ain't a matter of the amount of homework, it's how hard it is for that kid, lol. I hardly had homework, since it's a "finish your schoolwork at home" type of homework... or papers (which, again, class time was provided, since this is an era where kids my age didn't have a personal computer or the best access to computers in the library/school computer room. If you had loads of homework, congrats, you're the slow kid.
We had a man walk into my family’s apartment once. We were all sitting in the kitchen, chatting, so we didn’t even hear the front door open. Then a man walked in on us. Granted, he looked just as surprised as we did. My dad jumped to his feet, the man apologised and backed out into the hallway, grabbed his things and left. We figured he was drunk and mixed up the floors (the doors all look the same). Weirdest thing is, it didn’t cross his mind that something was wrong until he saw us. He took off his shoes, put his coat on a hanger. Like he was just coming home from work or something. I don’t think he had an ill intent, but it still freaked me out. It felt… gross? Like when someone walks in on you in the bathroom. You don’t feel secure in your own space after that. And that’s considering I was with people then, if he tried anything my dad would beat the shit out of him. What if I was alone then though? I’m very small. Gives me chills just thinking about it. The game captures this feeling really well.
I’m very paranoid about strangers knowing where I live in general, actually. For example, as much as I like the convenience of to-door deliveries, they kinda make me uncomfortable. It’s not hard to push your way into someone’s home when they’ve already opened their door for you. It’s not hard at all to do something horrible if you have the intention, really. That’s the scariest part.
This made me sweat so badly from just watching because it somehow unlocked a memory of mine. My parents house was set up to where a mirror was on the landing for our stairwell. So if you were at the top of the stairs you could see the kitchen and if you were at the bottom you could see the upstairs bathroom. My mom had a nightlight in the kitchen for us that was always on. One night I came out of the bathroom and I looked in the mirror and could see a figure at the bottom of the stairs and I just assumed it was my dad and went back to bed. A few nights later I was waiting in line for the bathroom and my brother came out and we both saw the figure in the mirror then my dad snored loudly from his bedroom so we ran into my brother's room and the door knob started to jiggle. Nothing was ever missing and no doors were broken and our alarm never went off. To this day we have no idea if it was something paranormal or what.
This is one of my biggest fears, I'm actually a bit paranoid about it. When walking through my house I "imagine" seeing someone walking after me trying to grab a door from the outside while I'm closing it and reaching their hands through the gap or simply waiting for me to open doors and standing on the other side waiting for me. I'm in a constant panic when my Parents aren't home. The problem is although I said I "imagine" them I can't really unimagine them. I can't stop freaking myself out
I have a mental illness that causes intense paranoia and I see a lot of things similar to this something I reccomend doing is calling or texting someone when doing something that makes you paranoid as it helps you keep track of what's real and what isnt or just watching or listening to something while doing something that usually triggers it helps a lot and I hope it might help you a little too
I do this exact thing too!! even if my parents are in the house, I HATE going upstairs by myself because I imagine these exact scenarios. even if I haven't thought about these things, at some point my brain just goes "hey, you know what we haven't thought about recently?" and the whole thing starts again
@@meghan2353 OMG LITERALLY! My brain is like, hey wouldnt it be so freaky if this was happening right now, or like, remember that nightmare where someone lived in your basement and you had no idea. Lets just think about that when were the only one up late at night. I literally have that all the time
the anxiety this video and game gives me is insane like holy shit like i had to pause the video so much just so i could cool down and then unpause it god this still gives me chills
I don't why but it happened to me too when I was rewatching, but it was fine the first time around. Apparently whenever I had the video quality set to 720p it cut a part of the video idk why which made the audio seem faster. I switched it back to 1080p and it was fine.
I was so confused, why isn't anyone talking about the audio being weird? edit: It was around 8:20 in the video, so I switched it to 720p like the comment above and it started working correctly. Any reason that the quality affects the audio?
@@kobblestone I'm pretty sure they meant that this playthrough is unfinished. What the game wanted you to do was see that there is someone at the front door via the text message, then for you to go check it out by peeking through the blinds and locking the door, then the game continues until it finishes the actual narration. The "you died, try again" ending is if you open the door, like jack did.
This story isn't necessarily creepy, more just scary in a "holy shit this kind of stuff happens" kind of way. My uncle and his family were travelling in a motorhome. While they were sleeping, someone came knocking on the door really aggressively, even throwing rocks at the vehicle. My uncle went outside. There was a visibly disturbed man who was absolutely convinced his daughter was being kept in the motorhome, and demanded that they released her. My uncle tried to explain to him that the man's daughter wasn't there, even showing him the inside, but the man grabbed a brick and hit my uncle in the head badly. He ended up running away. Apparently he's a patient of a mental insitution who had escaped. My uncle is fine now, but his vestibular system has been permanently damaged. He worked renovating houses, but now that his sense of balance has been messed up, he can't safely stand on a ladder anymore.
i don’t know, there’s something about the way this clueless 14 year old kid is texting back and forth with a mother, helpless to do anything to help her child due to the fact that she’s away from home that is ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING. this kid just has an entire house to himself, something that he considers exciting (because he gets to have friends over!) yet, for a mother who has a neighborhood where this freak is roaming around stalking houses with the lights off, it’s the most terrifying feeling in the world. the text conversations with this mother, who loves her child so much, has to be the most haunting part of this game.
My dad had a pretty uncomfortable experience when it comes to home invasion (or close to one): When he was younger, his room (who he shared with his sister) was on the first floor. One night, he was awake and saw someone looking into the room through the window but he didn’t know if he was just seeing things. Thus, the next morning, he went outside to investigate and found a few footprints leading up to the window and walking around outside of the house.
Creepy as hell… reminds me of the time where it snowed in my country and we woke to footsteps around the outside of our house along with the side of our house but when we looked on the cameras (both pointed specifically where the footprints appeared) there was no one there. I mean the footprints could only be seen and nothing else but It doesn’t make sense and we haven’t figured out what happened.
That's really impressive, that they could bring up so much anxiety in the player (and watchers) and make them believe the person was still in the house. The fact that they understood the instinct to leave the house in that situation too?? And to put the jumpscare there?? Brilliant. I now need 3-5 business days.
I LOVE A GOOD SCARE. I'm currently playing through the Five Night's at Freddy's games. After not playing them for so many years they are literally making me scream for reals
This replicates the feeling of running up the stairs after turning off the lights as a kid
As a kid? It’s supposed to go away?👀
I stil have that as a young adult.
HAH I still have that now
Well, u r right. I'm a teen and I'm scared of the dark, yeah.
your telling me i was supposed to grow out of it???
The fact they are real storys immediately makes them more scary, because it immediately makes you feel like this could happen to you. You feel like your in the shoes of the character you play as.
i mean theoretically this can in fact happen to you irl. Always does some where.
Well yeah, but this puts it in your head right from the beginning.
I ain’t gonna lie I’d panic
Honestly whenever I see "this actually happened" in these kinds of game I get really skeptical, but it"# not as if this happening is super unrealistic.
i wasnt thinking about it but now i am and im scared
“Don’t open the doors, no matter what.”
Jack: To the front door I go!!
for real , i was thinking the same thing he ignored mom's texts v.v
Well he thought the guy was already in the house
@@someney that is true, but if you don't at least know vaguely where the intruder is (second floor, first floor, basement etc,) then you must assume they could be anywhere. Definitely grab a weapon before heading out.

Yeah, at least use the backdoor and not literally the only place where you have a picture of somebody lurking...
Also does that mean that the game continues if you listen to the mom?
A piece of geniune advice, if you feel someone might legimately be in your house, don't investigate, get out or get to your family. Lock yourself in a room with a weapon if you can't leave. Don't wander and absolutely call the police
And more importantly call the police.
thank u i really neede that legit thanks man
This is the main reason why I’m so happy I have a 1 story house.. because there’s really no where to hide and it’s all in safe distance.. while this game has alot of places for the intruder to hide since while your on one floor.. the intruders somewhere else completely!

Honestly, one of the scariest parts about this is their bedroom layout. I'd never want a bedroom where I couldn't see everything from my bed. The fact that his bed is around a corner where you can't see the rest of the room is terrifying, and I don't know how anyone could feel safe in a room like that.

@@beesbrownies what was that? “Plz no mammoths”? Your lack of basics English and loss of brain cells confuse me .

Do you think Sean has the sanity to try to get the other endings?

This gave me the exact feeling I felt when I thought an intruder was in my home. My family had gone to help my nan with a hospital appointment, I was excited to have the house to myself after school. However, as the evening went on, I kept hearing furniture being moved upstairs, footsteps creaking the floorboards and hushed whispers about the layout of the house. I was shitting myself. I spent the evening with a ladel in my hand and a knife in my belt. My eyes and ears started to play tricks on me, seeing things in doorways etc.
Never been so happy for my family to come home lmao.
Turns out, the neighbours had moved in a day early and we have thin walls. They were moving their furniture around and talking about where to put things. The rest of the sounds and sights were just my brain playing tricks on me.
Felt like an idiot haha.
dude something similar happened when my mom went shopping and my dad was gone and my dog kepted randomly barking and growling. its so scary lol
Plot twist: there was really a stranger in your house

I grew up in a house with three large sliding glass doors on the rear of the house. Once I was babysitting my little siblings and had put them to bed upstairs. I locked the sliding doors and drew the vertical blinds. I stayed downstairs watching tv with a sliding door to my right and the other sliding doors along the wall behind me. This was before smartphones and everyone having a flashlight in their pocket. I say that because suddenly a flashlight beam swept through the sliding door where the blinds were broken (by us kids). I was terrified out of my mind. I sat still listening for any movement or voices but hearing nothing. I turned my head and watched as the flashlight beam moved toward the neighbors yard. I crept closer to peek between the blinds. An adult man carrying a flashlight was moving through my backyard, moving in a strange pattern around the bushes and perimeter of the house. He walked off around the side of my house and toward the street out front. About 5 minutes later my parents came home to me terrified. Turns out the man and his wife were looking for a lost family dog.
My grandparents for YEARS, put those large yardsticks used for mixing paint in the little channels for sliding doors. Even if somehow someone unlocked the door or if we forgot, the stick would prevent someone from entering or at the very least, give you extra time to get away.
@@BagelBites246 I currently have a sliding door in my house, and we do that too. My father would cut wood according to the measurements and then placed it there so if someone tried to break in, they couldn't
Dude. You had 100% reason to be scared. He could have been a thief, or worse..... hell, if I was you I would have called the police on the guy. He had a flashlight, in someone else’s yard, shining lights in other people’s houses. He wasn’t saying anything(?) so who’s to say he wasn’t scoping the place..
Oh... That's sad that they lost their dog, but I would've just not moved and try to hide under the couch, like an idiot.
Did they find the dog

I've always said this. Realistic and sometimes real horror stories and games will always be more terrifying than the supernatural types. It feels much more grounded and plausible that it makes you stop and think "Could this happen to me?" This then leads to more paranoia as you put yourself in the characters' shoes and realize that this *could* happen to you. It makes things much more personal which continues to up the horror.

The closest I've come to a situation like this was back when I lived in a not-so-good apartment community. Someone knocked on the door while I was home alone and one of my dogs went crazy barking, so I got up to check and no one was there. A few days later I found out a handful of apartments were robbed. The robber would knock and if no one answered they assumed no one was home and broke in. If my dog hadn't gone nuts I probably would have ignored the knock and went back to sleep (as a young petite woman there was no way I would have answered alone). What would have happened if she hadn't barked and I hadn't answered and he broke in and found me sleeping? To this day I credit her with possibly saving my life. RIP sweet Noel.

She said they looked at each other for a minute and then he just turned around and left.

As someone with anxiety this game was incredibly horrifying, because of how this could happen to anybody and how real it is, the second the sun sets when I’m home alone I’m terrified and extremely paranoid
Anyone with wooden floors knows the pain of sitting there trying to sleep and hearing the floorboards creak as they naturally lose tension or whatever, so you’re sitting there for a second trying to figure out if it was a footstep, how far away it was, and if you should whip your covers off.
The worst is when you’re paranoid during daylight.

the game tells you to stay in the house though, leaving the house was Jack's fault. also he didn't finish the game
I think another factor is the difficulty of the game. Like if you keep failing an objective over and over again and have to keep replaying it, it kinda loses it’s scariness

This is honestly one of the scariest games ever. The quality and background noise and how dark it is really makes it feel so real.

Then when he hides under the bed, you can here a constant knock at the door and glass would break. It is honestly such a terrifying scene.

The scariest part of horror games is waiting for something or someone to attack you but you have to move around to trigger them cos its a game
Yep the suspense gets me so paranoid of every little detail.
That’s probably why Jack didn’t think there were any other endings though, like there was just one linear path in the code to the “right” ending. He did want to just wait under the bed but, you wouldn’t know how long you’d have to wait to see if that’s a viable option in the game.
That’s why dread is my favorite type of horror
We must change that, imagine you sit in corner thinking if i dont move i wont trigger that thing so im cool, then you see eyes from the darkness watching you, waiting - next moment that thing rush you and disapears, complete silence. So after 10 - 20 s you are feeling like - ok now i can move and than jumpscare with loud scream and lights go out completley but you dont lose you must get out..
YES
if you see the intruder at the front door, you can start locking all the doors as your mom advised, especially the back door and then hide. By doing so, it delays the intruder from trying to get in and Paula will be rushing towards the front door, enough to scare the intruder away. She'll be ringing the front door as usual and soon after, the cops arrive. It saves you the stress of dealing with him indoors.
I knew I had seen other gameplay of this where you take mom's advice 😂😂 Sean could have saved himself a day of spoops if he had just listened to her.
Yeah, I don't know anything about the game but I assumed he just got jumpscared for essentially playing the story wrong
Having someone attempt to break into your house while your parents are gone stirs the worst feelings of dread imaginable, and this game perfectly replicates that.

This game captured what I felt perfectly... looking both ways before turning a corner, going up stairs and not being able to see behind you, thinking you saw movement from where you want to go, knowing that you don't know...
It's bringing back apprehension that I thought I had finally escaped.
Hope all is okay man. Easy to say from someone without that level of anxiety, but it’s easy to imagine things when you’re thinking so deeply about it. No shame in going to see someone about it, family, friends, a psychiatrist, etc. it must have an affect on your daily life to not feel safe in your home. Hope all is good otherwise ❤️

This is exactly why I am over vigilant and even paranoid when it gets dark out or I’m home alone. But I feel better knowing I’m always strapped haha
If you notice the footsteps going up the stairs, it’s a defining moment in this game as well as the main reason why it’s such an anxiety inducing experience. Because the in game character doesn’t notice it and it puts us in a position of power because we are aware of the intruder’s presence.

@@narstietokez3713 Obviously, I would too, but being there *with them*, and not knowing if they’re going to hurt you or not, or if they know you’re there
For me it’s worse knowing the likely hood of being robbed as I have been whilst out with family so then there’s the constant fear of if they’ll come back. Absolutely horrifying
ikr? Like, if im away, cool. break in, take what you need, I'm just glad no one's got hurt. If I or someone else is in the home, too, that adds a new level of scary. Like, you're completely at ease in a comforting environment. you're at your most vulnerable, and some stranger violates that safe space and puts you in danger.
i’m watching this while in a hotel alone, as a lone female traveler. I’m horrified
Well In the second one you will be scared for life

Jack convinced himself that somebody is already in the house *so hard* that he just straight up walked out to the guy still trying to break *into* the house.
Did a quick browse for more info on this, with one of the possible variations, the intruder does get you while in the house, instead of at the door.
@@ericbambach3222 yea in the parents bedroom sad that jack decided to end it there
@@ericbambach3222 The problem is that he didnt get inside YET. Jack essentially stopped playing when the game finally started :/
@@DrakeHurley but he did see someone walk up, so there are many variations to the game?

Whatchu on about?
The intruder literally was seen walking up the stairs.
“Don’t answer the door”
Jack: Yea time to leave
no he said “time to leave” because he thought the guy was still inside the house
Mom: “Don’t answer the door no matter what he does”
Jack: “that sign can’t stop me because I can’t read”
Haha
Same thing happened to me once.
I was playin a horror game and screamed you cant kill me, I'm already dead inside

you know how much of a good person Sean is just by the fact he says sorry for allergies when realistically he has done so many videos and brightened so many days that he could stop uploading if he just felt slightly off. Thank you.
This is such a creative idea! Taking people's actual stories and recreating them so the player can have an in depth experience of what they went through is just extra spooky. Not surprised Gab recommended this. She's the queen of indie horror.

The best horror stories are those grounded in reality. The more realistic, the scarier it becomes. One of the best examples is Junji Ito's 'The Bully'.
What's that
@@ThatOneGuy3430 a manga
This one is especially grounded in reality because the Fears to Fathom games are stories from survivors of the incidents in stories
@Sound City (the real god of TH-cam) shut
@Sound City (the real god of TH-cam) you need an actual life
The concept of playing someone’s real life story and things that they went through is a really good and fucking scary idea for a horror game
There's a movie called The Bunny Game that is basically just a retelling of the director's own experience - shit she actually went through.
What happened in the true story?
@@mattterra9303 did you not watch this video?
@@Invalidationcoded im gonna keep that in mind sounds hella interesting
Definitely is, I’d say part of the immense horror is that it’s real and the fact that it can happen to anyone, even you, even me, all of us in one day perhaps?
The horrors of a true story is something that will always outweigh fictional horror, no matter how much more threatening or twisted a fictional horror creature or entity is from the fabric of reality itself within our own grasp of comprehension and understanding, because you never know when it may happen to you in your own comforts of home or safety, once it has been invaded. Anyone got any ideas thoughts or replys for this comment i made :D

When Sean started narrating the written text I COMPLETELY missed the fact that it was him talking and thought the game had recorded dialogue and I was like "Oh that's weird, the voice actor sounds like Sean".... took me a min to realise....... I feel stupid now...
OMG!!! I'm so glad I wasn't the only one.. I had this on in the background to listen to and literally thought "hang on, has Sean narrated this game and he is now just "passively" promoting his own work?"
@@Nerdchacho yeah i was like "wait what the fuck??? why does this narrator sound exactly like..." *_looks at face-cam_* "...oh."
Same lol
i did the same lol
You're not alone on this lol
The scariest part is that this is something that could actually happen. Sure, horror creatures are scary, but humans are scarier
exactly what i thought. Like home invasions happen. People are freaky man
No matter what, humans will always be the most dangerous creature that has ever existed on earth, sure a demon could be terrifying, but could a demon kill one of it’s own kind just for a piece of land for them to control?
@@Deutsch_Clerkor I mean, they probably could yeah, Demons don't exist so you can't say whether they would do that or not lol
@@Deutsch_Clerkor yeah they COULD idk if they would really need to tho
I mean. When you think about it. Humans ARE the reason why horror creatures exist. Think about it. Any story, Any movie, Any drawing or any game that has a horror creature. That Horror creature exist because a Human created it.
As someone who is watching this while they are home alone, while it is dark out with dogs constantly barking at something I can’t see
this was highly entertaining
"Horror" is too simple of a description like this is anxiety, panic, paranoia and holy shit that type of fear is just different. Very cool game. I can't imagine if in the near future we could get something like this game on VR...
Assuming you have VR, I don't know if you've tried VR Chat. It's got worlds that player themselves create and some of them are horror worlds. I haven't found any that's more anxiety and paranoia based. But there's one where it has my lowkey phobia of mannequins. I forgot the name of that specific world but there's another one (with mannequins as well) made by OfficialSayon called Unshattered Destination. Super creative and great content in my opinion. You should give it a try!
this game would be terrifying in VR
i would just stay under the bed that sht was scary in a computer imagine in virtual reality that's an immediate no no for me

@@yannipika kid is rescued (obviously since this is a true story the narrator would be alive)
This reminds me about a story my mom told me when she was around 7-10 years old that a man got into her house once at night. My grandmother woke up early and it was dark in her bedroom, but her bathroom light was on and she could have sworn she turned it off before bed, she looked a little to the left and saw the dark outline of a person. It was a man just staring at them while they slept. She quickly woke up my grandfather who was next to her and my grandfather beat the crap out of him and called the police. My grandmother immediately went to my mom’s room to check if she was alright. Luckily, my mom was still asleep when she went in her room, so the man only went into my grandparents room. That was the scariest story I’ve ever heard.
Man I would've drew a machete and started swinging it at him to keep him back. Thank goodness nothing worse came to pass.
If that was me, I would've screamed like a fucking child.
My mom told me when she was a kid it was raining one night and she kept hearing tapping on the window, so she’d go into her parents room and tell them. They said it was just the wind. She went back to bed and tried to fall asleep but she kept hearing the tapping. After a few more minutes of that there was eventually a flash of lightning and she could see the outline of a person in front of the window. She screamed and could hear footsteps walking away on their wooden deck. That next morning my grandpa found muddy footprints that had walked all around the outside of the house.
@@gabyyte470 first off, the reason she knew my grandfather at that age is because that was her father lol. Also, when the police arrived they said the man was acting like he was on drugs and was completely out of it. He was like a mindless zombie, so that’s why he didn’t flee.
@@gabyyte470 I don’t think you’re quite understanding genetics. He is my grandfather because he is my mom’s dad. Your parent’s parents are your grandparents. It’s simple genetics. And my grandmother is my mother’s mom.

Jack being confused about a 14 year old doing homework for 4 hours tells me that American homework IS uniquely abundant.
uhhh he wasn't confused about the work, he even said "for 4 hours, that's how long he was in your house for."
pretty standard HW time here in AUS as well, its ridiculous how much they give
I had AP classes, so I used to do homework from 2:30 in the afternoon to midnight, and sometimes I still wouldn't get it all done.
Dude, I took low level classes, and figuring this kid actually could yell at the intruder (which is an achievement) or open the door, despite your mom saying otherwise, tells me this kid was lower than that, lol. I completed my homework in like 1-2 hours, and this is secondary/high school so it ain't a matter of the amount of homework, it's how hard it is for that kid, lol.
I hardly had homework, since it's a "finish your schoolwork at home" type of homework... or papers (which, again, class time was provided, since this is an era where kids my age didn't have a personal computer or the best access to computers in the library/school computer room. If you had loads of homework, congrats, you're the slow kid.
I think he freaked out about the fact that someone's been in his house for that long, and yeah sometimes my math takes me 2-3 hrs to finish
So..... Connecting this to my TV was an awful idea
I- you- why? For what?
True masochism
Worst decision ever
I did that too 😭
We had a man walk into my family’s apartment once. We were all sitting in the kitchen, chatting, so we didn’t even hear the front door open. Then a man walked in on us. Granted, he looked just as surprised as we did. My dad jumped to his feet, the man apologised and backed out into the hallway, grabbed his things and left. We figured he was drunk and mixed up the floors (the doors all look the same). Weirdest thing is, it didn’t cross his mind that something was wrong until he saw us. He took off his shoes, put his coat on a hanger. Like he was just coming home from work or something. I don’t think he had an ill intent, but it still freaked me out. It felt… gross? Like when someone walks in on you in the bathroom. You don’t feel secure in your own space after that. And that’s considering I was with people then, if he tried anything my dad would beat the shit out of him. What if I was alone then though? I’m very small. Gives me chills just thinking about it.
The game captures this feeling really well.
I’m very paranoid about strangers knowing where I live in general, actually. For example, as much as I like the convenience of to-door deliveries, they kinda make me uncomfortable. It’s not hard to push your way into someone’s home when they’ve already opened their door for you. It’s not hard at all to do something horrible if you have the intention, really. That’s the scariest part.
Keep a gun hidden somewhere in case you need it
i’m small too, so this is a big thing for me as well. i hate going anywhere alone because of how small i am.
Do you guys not lock your front door?

Ty bro u saved my life 🙏
well, to be fair they were seen inside at one point. at the point that they are inside and have broken in its the point that you run from the house
god ur a fuckin hero bc i did NOT want to get jumpscared from this thank you
This made me sweat so badly from just watching because it somehow unlocked a memory of mine. My parents house was set up to where a mirror was on the landing for our stairwell. So if you were at the top of the stairs you could see the kitchen and if you were at the bottom you could see the upstairs bathroom. My mom had a nightlight in the kitchen for us that was always on. One night I came out of the bathroom and I looked in the mirror and could see a figure at the bottom of the stairs and I just assumed it was my dad and went back to bed. A few nights later I was waiting in line for the bathroom and my brother came out and we both saw the figure in the mirror then my dad snored loudly from his bedroom so we ran into my brother's room and the door knob started to jiggle. Nothing was ever missing and no doors were broken and our alarm never went off. To this day we have no idea if it was something paranormal or what.
Imagine being the person who lived this story and see the bad ending. It would unsettle the heck outta you.
I can handle horror like resident evil and stuff like that but personal stories that have actually happened scare me so much.
Probably because you can relate to them and subconsciously think they could happen to you
Same here. If it happened to someone, or is very realistic that can happen to anyone, terrifying
U call Resident Evil horror??? LOL
At the jumpscare I legitimately jumped and my right arm jumped up as well and now my shoulder hurts while I shouted out loud at 1030 at night
Yeah same.
This is one of my biggest fears, I'm actually a bit paranoid about it. When walking through my house I "imagine" seeing someone walking after me trying to grab a door from the outside while I'm closing it and reaching their hands through the gap or simply waiting for me to open doors and standing on the other side waiting for me. I'm in a constant panic when my Parents aren't home. The problem is although I said I "imagine" them I can't really unimagine them. I can't stop freaking myself out
I have a mental illness that causes intense paranoia and I see a lot of things similar to this something I reccomend doing is calling or texting someone when doing something that makes you paranoid as it helps you keep track of what's real and what isnt or just watching or listening to something while doing something that usually triggers it helps a lot and I hope it might help you a little too
I do this exact thing too!! even if my parents are in the house, I HATE going upstairs by myself because I imagine these exact scenarios. even if I haven't thought about these things, at some point my brain just goes "hey, you know what we haven't thought about recently?" and the whole thing starts again
@@meghan2353 OMG LITERALLY! My brain is like, hey wouldnt it be so freaky if this was happening right now, or like, remember that nightmare where someone lived in your basement and you had no idea.

The audio was faster than the gameplay. Jack was still walking around when the scare came... I was scared and confused 😅
I don't why but it happened to me too when I was rewatching, but it was fine the first time around. Apparently whenever I had the video quality set to 720p it cut a part of the video idk why which made the audio seem faster. I switched it back to 1080p and it was fine.
I was so confused, why isn't anyone talking about the audio being weird?

Actually unfinished game:….
it comes out in a few days (Sorry if I misunderstood)
@@kobblestone I'm pretty sure they meant that this playthrough is unfinished. What the game wanted you to do was see that there is someone at the front door via the text message, then for you to go check it out by peeking through the blinds and locking the door, then the game continues until it finishes the actual narration. The "you died, try again" ending is if you open the door, like jack did.

whats this game called?
This story isn't necessarily creepy, more just scary in a "holy shit this kind of stuff happens" kind of way.
My uncle and his family were travelling in a motorhome. While they were sleeping, someone came knocking on the door really aggressively, even throwing rocks at the vehicle. My uncle went outside. There was a visibly disturbed man who was absolutely convinced his daughter was being kept in the motorhome, and demanded that they released her. My uncle tried to explain to him that the man's daughter wasn't there, even showing him the inside, but the man grabbed a brick and hit my uncle in the head badly. He ended up running away. Apparently he's a patient of a mental insitution who had escaped.
My uncle is fine now, but his vestibular system has been permanently damaged. He worked renovating houses, but now that his sense of balance has been messed up, he can't safely stand on a ladder anymore.
That must have been so terrifying :( I wish the best to your uncle and the rest of you family
hope hes ok
I’m so sorry that must’ve been horrible I’m so sorry hope he is doing well now 💖
Bless.
I'm so sorry that happened to your uncle.

“Objective: HIDE”
i don’t know, there’s something about the way this clueless 14 year old kid is texting back and forth with a mother, helpless to do anything to help her child due to the fact that she’s away from home that is ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING. this kid just has an entire house to himself, something that he considers exciting (because he gets to have friends over!) yet, for a mother who has a neighborhood where this freak is roaming around stalking houses with the lights off, it’s the most terrifying feeling in the world. the text conversations with this mother, who loves her child so much, has to be the most haunting part of this game.
If I was a kid I just hide under my bed until the parents get there
I hate it even more because this can happen so often and has happened so many times, often times this will end horribly wrong and I hate knowing that.
My dad had a pretty uncomfortable experience when it comes to home invasion (or close to one):
When he was younger, his room (who he shared with his sister) was on the first floor. One night, he was awake and saw someone looking into the room through the window but he didn’t know if he was just seeing things. Thus, the next morning, he went outside to investigate and found a few footprints leading up to the window and walking around outside of the house.
Oh hell no that's terrifying
Spooky scary
tf it's terrifying
Creepy as hell… reminds me of the time where it snowed in my country and we woke to footsteps around the outside of our house along with the side of our house but when we looked on the cameras (both pointed specifically where the footprints appeared) there was no one there. I mean the footprints could only be seen and nothing else but It doesn’t make sense and we haven’t figured out what happened.
Bro I literally have way different phobias but this like Jack said opens new horrors to me
That's really impressive, that they could bring up so much anxiety in the player (and watchers) and make them believe the person was still in the house. The fact that they understood the instinct to leave the house in that situation too?? And to put the jumpscare there?? Brilliant. I now need 3-5 business days.
I LOVE A GOOD SCARE.
