Welcome to the I Can't fathom Club how I Can't fathom are ya? *note* Game is a new entry in the Fears to Fathom series other titles here: tinyurl.com/37x4zrpd
The fact that Mike was shooting his shot after being a scaredycat (pun intended) about the attic...and then saying "don't worry I'll protect you!" Man, that's convincing. LOL
I practically started yelling at the screen watching Mike. He's gonna go on about protecting people he cares about, then split up, and leave her without a car in unfamiliar territory with two potential stalkers. F tier boyfriend material, zero situational awareness.
leaves her behind immediately in the basement. Scared of noices in the attic and so he lets HER look whats going on up there Get the f outta here with that bs "im always trying to do nice things for you" and "im going to protect you" holy moley i wanna smash my head trough the wall xD why would you EVER want to spend time with these kind of people that talk so much hot air. It has clearly been an issue before so why would you go on such a trip in such a small grp. Plays hide and seek in a stranger house as a grown up...i cant anymore...
Mike. All the creepiness and then he, an alleged grown-arsed adult, makes you _play hide and seek_ while you just want to sleep. Sydney, it's time. Cut the cord.
As somebody who lived in the Rural North East US. Its not often you see a School Bus randomly parked on private properties. But it happens, as when they are decommissioned from the fleet they can be bought at public auctions for stupidly cheap. So they often become peoples Storage sheds or campers. Not THAT strange to see.
You see decommissioned buses and even decommissioned ambulances around where I live all the time. It's definitely more of a rural thing but it's not too uncommon!
weirdest thing I've seen an old school bus converted to was a barn (they basically just took off the wheels and removed all the seats), the homeowners had a donkey living in it.
"You wouldn't eat the rind of an orange, why eat the crust of the pizza." well, you see. The rind of an orange is fibrous and bitter...and the crust of the pizza is bread. How can you _not_ eat sweet, succulent bread when given the choice?!
its not the last game lol, pretty sure the creator said they are going to take a break from making the game and come back for a season 2 on his twitter
Who goes to a pizzeria. Asks for 6 slices instead of a pizza. And then uses two half empty pizza boxes to put them in. Such a weird waste of carboard and bad sense of deals.
Lots of local places do pizza by the slice, so if you want variety you can get a slice each of several different kinds. They usually serve them in normal boxes, too.
@@DeathnoteBBit’s wrong by the time period, but today in my area, a small pizza is usually 6-8 slices and around $20. By the slice pizza is always a HUGE slice so you’re pretty much getting at least a medium for the same $20. It’s actually a pretty good deal to be honest 🤷🏻♀️
I love how when he was lookking at the airbnbs, it sounded like one of those dads that get super close to the screen and mumble almost incoherently and it takes it suuuuuuuuuuuuper seriously
Hey let's take a ride together. Hey let's hug. HEY let's HUG. Hey let's stop at the pizza place. Hey let's go around the house. Hey let's cook, but first let's catch fish (I will contribute nothing and make you catch and extra carp). Hey let's watch TV (you have to turn it on). Hey let's play a board game (you have to pick). Hey let's AHHHH jumpscare got you lol. Hey let's play hide and seek. Hey let's do it again. Hey let's do it again. Hey let's check in the attic (I mean you check in the attic). Hey let's remember how I've been awkwardly flirting with you the whole time while you're clearly not receptive to it, and let's talk about my feelings and how I want to smash at nearly 12 in the morning. Ok bye gonna pick up our stranded friend all in the span of like 4-6 hours, the only time Sydney has to breathe is when she's in the shower. poor girl had to babysit and entertain a grown man
All the mundane little tasks these games make you do always make them feel super cozy. If it weren't for the home invading murderers it would be the ideal life simulator lol
@@claralinnea9682 person A: wow this airbnb is niiice i can't believe you got it for so cheap person B (friend): yea it was such a steal person B actually broke in and killed the owners or something. Person A eventually gets suspicious and person B tries to silence them, forcibly.Idk something like that
Have a friend who does this, apparently they say that it tastes bland. I personally say this is where you pull out a dipping sauce and eat free breadsticks.
A lot of people do that where I live. I never understood it. You just ate a massive piece of (baked) dough slathered in tomato sauce and cheese. Might as well eat the rest of it. It's the best part for me.
I personally don't eat pizza crust all the time. There are times where I do, and times where I don't. I have no clue where I got it from, or why, but I just usually don't.
I feel bad for Nora and I’m only at 23:34 This guy is definitely trying to hit on us, despite seemingly being in a relationship already. And he sounds as creepy as one would expect someone who does that to be
@@DeathnoteBB without this context he acts like a walking red flag tbh I didn't think he and nora seems to be in a relationship before the bed talk? but everything he said and did makes me uncomfortable as hell
It sounds like Rick maybe knew who the fake Rick was, as in he had to confront him before. The way he says "this is my property" like he thinks he own the house/wants to own the house or something despite being Rick's and maybe has been harrassing him in the past about it
What I’m thinking it could be rick was a relative with how it seemed to go quiet after all this. Probably one that used to live in the cabin and was squatting on it.
@@Shauntheduke. Oh you're right! That or the owner got the house from the parents or something and not Rick and Rick is really mad about it, I don't know if in the story submitted the real rick also knew about the layout of the house but that would explain it too
I was wondering how fake Rick knew about Harper texting the real Rick for help. that's a lot more effort involved than just breaking in and living in an AirBnB
@@octochanEdit: Got names switched It sounded like he didn’t. He asks Sydney what’s going on without mentioning being contacted. Sydney explains the situation and *then* he knows to lie about it. Before then presumably, based on the noises we hear when Sydney is in bed again, the Angry Man tried to break in, but ended up discovering Fake Rick instead, which was the loud noise and screaming. At first I assumed Angry Man saw some way up to the attic, went up to it and got caught and slammed into the bedroom window, but who knows. But anyway, after Fake Rick as that altercation with Angry Man he comes back to ask Sydney about it, most likely assuming she knew him and was staying with him as well. Which is why he was being cagey about what he saw until she explains. If he was her friend and he admitted to getting into an altercation, that makes him a suspect if he happened to do anything… And the implication is he definitely did something, then came down to get context for the man being there. He had no way of knowing about the text, he just happened to show up at the “right” time.
Dude I had a scary instance of staying at an Air BnB for one night, and just had the worst vibes ever. Just a dingy place with instances of someone had been living there and not just a rental. With a locked door in a bedroom that was directly next to the bed. Horror games told me that someone was 100% going to come of that door while i was sleeping, and against my instinct, i decided to stay. Thankfully, nothing happened, but I left as soon as morning came.
I used AirBnBs quite a bit before the fees got out of control, and distinctly remember the ratings were almost always close to 5/5 unless there was something funky going on. Anywhere below 4 stars was to be avoided like the plague for those exact kinda reasons, was *never* worth saving a few bucks
My friend's brother once had to stay in a hotel for one night. There was a locked black door in his room. Nothing happened but he was afraid and blocked it with furniture
...umm no. You shoild not have done that. What is the point of putting a random locked door in your BEDROOM when you know that other , unfamiliarized people will be coming to that place to sleep and relax? Way too creepy. And unnecessary. At that point Id just stay at almost any dingy, boring hotel in that area. I know the hotels there may have bed bugs, roaches, rats, etc... but the pests wont rob or kill you. A random deranged person or geroup of people behind that door? They probably will...
Despite the sillier choices the game forced on you, I feel like this one was especially good at creating a tense, uncomfortable atmosphere. I didn’t feel like she was safe with any guy here, especially Mike. I like how the creator uses misdirection often in this series so you never really know where the threat is going to come from. I’d be looking forward to another season or whatever the dev has in mind next. 👍🏻
I thought this episode did a great job portraying the necessity for vigilance in women's day to day life. Obviously the game is hyperbolic, but it conveyed the tense, hyperaware mood well
@@drewgoin8849 Women dont need to be hyperaware and suspicious lmao, thats a really bad way to live. Any human just needs to look out for themselves and be careful, not paranoid. But yeah, Mike was really creepy. During the first part, he was chill, but at the house he was creepy af.
@@joaojonito3764 oh sweet summer child 😭 of course women shouldn't HAVE TO live like that, but it's unfortunately just how things really are. i take it you're a dude?
@@joaojonito3764 Below are several articles and research papers that reveal how your comment, though undoubtedly well-intentioned, does not reflect reality: "Women More Than Twice as Likely to be Cautious about Risk than Men", Psychological Consulting (Mar 16, 2016) "Women are Sharing the Mental Checklists They Run Through to Navigate the World.

The only real horror here is mikes lack of social awareness. Everyone here is mentioning the hugs, but is ignoring that this dude woke the Mc up at 1 in the morning thought it would be a good idea to confess his feelings and offer to sleep in the same room. He couldn't have done it at an earlier time, like when they were fishing or watching TV? I was more creeped out by his behavior than the other crazy dudes
@khalidhassan9423 do you mean if the main character was also a man and Mike liked him? Because if that's what you're referring to, I would be saying the same thing about Mike.
My favorite part is how it's being narrated in past tense, so you can just imagine this lady telling the story and then derailing into random tangents about putting down toilet seats
Did anyone notice that after coming back from fishing 48:47, the basement and fridge doors were open? Even one of the milk cartons was gone, haha. I bet the fake Rick drank it and is hiding downstairs, which is why after playing with the Ouija board, there were sounds coming from the forbidden door 54:00 🚪
@@Konani_the_unicorn_queen Mike and Sydney are not the most observant people in the world. They missed A LOT of hints that something wasn't right here.
Dear Fears To Fathom devs, nobody in the history of gaming ever has sat down and wished there was realistic chewing noises in the game ever, thank you.
it was very obvious to me tbh, i knew the guy wasnt home owner at start because the real rick didnt wrote a message at all, also like mike says nobody fixes sink with hammer or creepily enters inside in rental cabin. though story was very fun and engaging the minigame stuff was also good. probably best FTF so far in terms of quality though i still prefer carson house
The MC would have found that out sooner had she texted the owner "Hey, we found the cat you told us you were looking for in the attic" like I would have done immediately after finding a cat in the attic and the Real rick would have responded "I don't have a cat"/"I haven't spoken to you" or something
Absolutely adore the serene parts of this, the music is fantastic & the vibes are beyond immaculate; I'd love an hour long version of those parts, without the "oohhh look at this freaaakyy thiinnggg" portions of course. And love to see the new actions, small details, & animations, like hugging, Mike picking up the table, Oujia playing, the cup throwing, etc etc. Happy to see these improving more & more!
Yeah. I was kinda thinking that it was like the weird brother locked in the secret room or something, but thinking about this idea I kinda wonder if maybe he’s the weird brother and the real Rick got the house in the will. Would explain why he seemed to know the guy but not want to say anything.
@@pixie12 OOO they’re BROTHERS that’s a good theory. Fake Rick could be “weird” or just didn’t have the money to keep the house when the bro wanted to turn it into a rental. Rick lives in Burlington which looks to be a ski town…
41:20 Based on that and the other stuff he says here he might also live in the basement, probably in the little closet with the sign on it. The other tenants must have heard him before which is what Real Rick talks to them about at the end
The pseudoRick was probably some troublesome relative of the real house owner, the kind that hasn't done anything extreme YET, but the whole family feels awkward around.

The fact that Manly was completely ignoring the "Where's My Hug?"(TM) From Mike killed me. Like I could smell the creep pouring off this man from the phone call, I don't know why she agreed to go on this trip 😭😭😭
@RobertEdwinHouse9 I liked it because it was so clear Manly hated this guy's guts, and totaling his car as a way of expressing that hatred is such a funny power move
Surrounded by creeps you didn't know, where the threat is right until the end. Puts many other horror games to shame. FtF is on another level - hoping for a second season, awesome horror series!
stop living in the early 2000s. nowadays no one talks to each other anymore because people finally started to realize other people are attention seeking assholes
Ooooo I don’t like the guy already, he’s creepy “Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about” My dude this isn’t what we agreed on “You wouldn’t eat the peel of an orange would you?” Well orange peel can cause intestinal distress, if enough is eaten. Pizza crust is…. Baked bread. Which is intended to be eaten. At the end “if anyone’s leaving this house, it’ll be 1 of us” “Y….yes… you… cuz I just told you to leave….”
@@DeathnoteBB dude is very obviously obsessing over you, admits he doesn’t shower, gives a gross burp at dinner (I know burps happen, but to be put into the game I feel like it was purposely used to sort of make him seem gross) idk he just came off as someone I’d do my best NOT to spend a weekend with
@@K_PetGroom For real. And like sometimes people just can’t shower often or burp without meaning to… but bragging about showering “just to see you” and not excusing yourself after burping is not great
I suspect these games were not actually made with the intent to tell stories about people having near death experiences with strangers, But rather they were an excuse for Pizza AMSR. (Seriously though, why is this in (almost) all of them?)
I think the scary music inside the house (and outside just as they arrived) is the way to show how Harp is feeling staying there, the house makes her feel anxious, she then calms down while fishing, the music turns chill, back inside the house - she gets anxious (very understandable cause of the crepy guy and a potential granny ghost in the basement).
Uhm.. Did you not notice that upon returning from fishing, the fridge door was open, as was the basement door and a milk cartoon was missing. That id why the scary music came.
It might be a joke or a slight exaggeration, but Manly does mention in this exact video that he occasionally goes whole days without sleep working on videos for the channel. If true, that would explain a lot.
@@astrangefishman6451 -he's mentioned in another video that he "got big" so he could help provide for his parents during covid. -i subscribed to his channel a couple of years ago, and i think he had around 213k subs at the time or something like that. he's worked hard :3!
As much as I like this game, the anachronism between the time the game takes place in and the use of modern messaging apps breaks my suspension of disbelief
Yeah, the game appears to be in like 2005. Mike is getting a Nintendo DS which released Nov 21st 2004, Sydney's neighbor playing a PSP which was released March 24th 2005, and the car ads for "New 2005, 2006 vehicles. The IPhone didn't come out until 2007
It's more complicated in this story though to be fair. During the awkward "conversation" Sydney and Mike do say that something "happened when they were drinking a lot before", implying they hooked up at some point in the past. Clearly Sydney saw it as a one night stand/mistake but Mike caught feelings. Most people commenting seemed to have missed that detail, which makes things a little better for Mike, despite him still being awkward/creepy.
@@ravenID429 And if they're clearly missing the fact you're not interested, instead of beating around the bush just be direct. I really don't understand this weird suggestion to not be direct, like how is it better to constantly have to put up with someone who doesn't get your hints and not just go "Hey dude, I know you're trying to hook up with me but I'm really not interested in you that way..." Like it's just so silly and a waste of everyones time to not just be upfront about your feelings.
I just fell upon your channel yesterday watching the game where you have to answer the door at night and I love your commentary it's so unhinged sometimes. And in this video you just let your intrusive thoughts control you I love it
Keep in mind how americans super size everything, their currency is weaker than the Euro and they rise prices on consumers every chance they get. And yet that is insanely high.
Game: [Phone rings] Me: "Hello Sydney. Do you like scary movies?" Game: ["Go for Sydney Harper"] Me: Wait, the character's name really is "Sydney"!? LOL!
either the creator of this game forgot about that small detail or they forgot most pizza places don’t have places where you can sit and eat so they automatically use boxes
I've been playing a lot of Fear and Hunger Termina, and am playing it while watching the video--the sound effect at around 37:00 (the screech followed by the dude jumpscare) is mixed into the nightmare world ambient theme and I had sudden whiplash thinking I'd triggered something in the game.
I used to have a keurig. They don’t get hot enough and I always want like 3 coffees but I want them mass made so I’m not sitting there doing them 1 at a time. I’ve had these at offices before and it’s annoying when there’s a line. I think drip coffee is still the best time efficiency one as it’s largely automated. I got in trouble at work for bringing in my own coffee machine at my desk. It was like the HR office manager’s ultimate day like she was born for that moment. Probably put a print out of the problem on her yearly report and framed it on the wall. Anyway that’s sick how detailed the coffee station is at the start of this
@@shadowmoon1982 There's probably a technicality of electrical voltage at cubicals not technically supporting kitchen appliances / office food equipment regulations. Nobody really cares about these though and they mostly exist so you don't have like 5 microwaves with the intent to take down the building power / mass microwave fish just to be intentionally obnoxious. I think the real reason was people were complaining that I had my own coffee maker even thought I bought it myself. People usually just complain about everything
I think you're a good candidate for those Bunn coffeemakers that gas stations use where there are at least two brew stations AND carafe warmers on the top
The dialogue really threw me off on this one, like it was set in the 90’s but the prices and language of the characters made it seem like it was modern day.
It wasn't set it the 90s. The air bnb style website for rentals wasn't a phenomenon then. There was a car commercial playing in the pizzeria scene that mentioned "all new 2005, 2006 models", so it was was probably set in 2005. I have no idea what pizza by the slice in VT cost then, or cabin rentals, but the dialogue fits that time frame.
@@Cog_Nomen Don't forget, Mike said "I need to check my tracking info on my Laptop for when my new DS arrives." The Nintendo DS came out November 21st 2004. Also Sydney's neighbor was playing a PSP which came out March 24th 2005 in North America. So I agree 2005
@@Cog_Nomen The dialogue is anachronistic. A direct example, Mike says that the pizza, "Slaps," and while the term saw usage as early as 2004, it only referred to a specific element of music and didn't take on the meaning it has now until the mid-to-late 2010s.
There are two kinds of people in the world Those who eat the whole pizza (have beend raised properly) Those who leave the pizza crust on the plate (will go through all 9 circles of Hell for all eternity)
I think the scariest part was when the friend started to hit on you. >_< Better to have a clearly defined bad guy than a person who is angry that you don’t love them.
Mike made us go check the attic, spooked us, got scared and ran during the basement Ouija session… and then claimed he would protect us. Utterly completely delusional guy. If I was stuck in that cabin with him he would’ve been the murder victim.
@@septimus3083 oh geez that too! 😭 I would have been so scared-mad…I’d probably just lock myself in my own room at that point and just comfy bed rot with my cell phone XD
@@septimus3083 dudes r just like this. There was a whole ass comment that a guy said “ur dur, men’s obligation is to keep her safe” or that every dude would protect a woman from a creep. They’re extremely out of touch
I'm actually really impressed with this, for a team of 5~ people they did a great job. The atmosphere was perfect, and the build-up was very fun. The interactivity in the game was also refreshing to see. The people who made this should be very proud of their work.
This *Fears to Fathom* reminds me a bit of the movie _"Come to Daddy (2019)"_ Where Elijah Woods goes to meet his father for the first time or something. But when he goes to his father's house in the middle of nowhere, he meets this weird creepy abusive guy who claims to be his father. Woods later finds out that the guy is a kidnapper and his real father is actually being held captive under the house by a gang.
I remember seeing a mobie like this too, but it was two kinds going to stay at their grandparents house for the first time but it turned out these two old folks were from an hospital or something and killed their grandparents. It's a bit fuzzy.
Mike reminds me a lot of a guy I met in college... I have debilitating social anxiety, I was trying to push myself to make friends and join social events and he kept touching my back, my leg, my arm when sitting next to me. I've always been very isolated and non-confrontational, I didn't know if those were normal friendly behaviours and I did not dare to question it. Then he invited me to hang out with him and his sister's friend group... when I went, his sister's friends allegedly "had to leave early" and I was stuck alone with him the entire time. Kept trying to hold my hand, even forced it out of my pocket. When the following days I tried to distance myself from him he shifted behaviour and immediately started side-eyeing me and acting bitter like I was a bitch. Coincidentally his name was Micheal
Oh wow something similar happened to me about a year ago. I also have social anxiety. To make a long story short I was on a date with a guy and I just didn't feel like we were vibing well. But I stayed to be polite. (I know) Anyway, we stood next to his car after dinner and he kept talking to me about anime nonstop and I was listening to be nice. We say our goodbyes and all of a sudden he gets into my personal space, puts his hands on my lower back, and forces me to kiss him. No warning, no asking. Just suddenly there's this man in my space. Yeah.... it was really awful. I never got into my car so fast in my life. And sure I could've pushed him off me and made a scene but I didn't know this guy or how he'd react and I have social anxiety and that's the last thing I want to do. Also I'm not very big, I'm only 4'11, so there's only so much I can do. Honestly I'm so sorry that happened to you. It seems like whenever people like us try to put ourselves out there it just ends up blowing up in our face. :( I hope you're doing better now.
The person who wrote that 100% TRUE and HONEST Email to the FtF dev for "some reason" comes across like a Redditor's first draft for r/NoSleep, it doesn't at all like someone telling a story about something that actually happened to them. As Jonathan Frakes would say "If you guessed that this unfortunate tale of terror was a true event, well then you guessed WRONG. That's right, we made it up."
I think that's fine though, the appeal (the same as nosleep) is the plausability. Like even though its almost definitely fictional they need to be written in a certain way so that you can suspend disbelief if you get immersed enough into the story
That was such an enjoyable watch. Cozy horror, if there is such a thing haha. From a female perspective this was vastly uncomfortable, since you’re basically surrounded by guys who may have intent to harm you because you’d either offended them or rejected them, so none of whom you can completely trust. This is why as females we’re so careful who we talk to and what we say. The guy confessing was sooooo awkward and uncomfortable - also so realistic. Great job to those who worked on the game 👏
I used to be this awkward guy... When I was 16. Now I grew up and I can read the room better due to the different experiences I had. Mike is just a big baby who never learned any of that.
Okay, the pizzeria part is an auditory hellscape, even without the obligatory "protag MUST eat food noisily and sloppily" thing the previous parts of this game have done it sounds like there's ambient eating noises included _in the bgm itself._ I can't even tell whether it's actually there or just my mind playing tricks on me because I've been gaslit on eating sounds in videos before where people've acted like they're not there when I comment on them, but either way, excuse me while I vomit.
@@Spooky_Platypus Oh really? That's very considerate of the dev, then! Always appreciate when devs do stuff like that for accessibility, like how House Flipper will turn roaches into broken glass or any of the various arachnophobia modes in some games with spiders (and now I'm just thinking about the screenshot from...Lethal Company, I think it was, where their arachnophobia mode turned the spider-like enemy into a model of the word "SPIDER" hehe).
Thank you Manly, you'll never know how much your video helped me tonight. Was awake most of the night and needed something to distract. What do i find? Not only a Manly video but a Fears to Fathom! Brilliant!!!!
With plenty of horror elements in the game such as the ouija board, a basement with a room out of access, a cat outta nowhere in the attic, was expecting a lot more scares but really felt the intensity. Nice one like the other ones in the series !

Not me screaming at my monitor a whole carton of milk was missing the second he opened the fridge.
Thank you!!! Im so glad i wasnt the only one

@@jamad-y7m Which make a lot of sense if this is actually a true story
As somebody who lived in the Rural North East US. Its not often you see a School Bus randomly parked on private properties. But it happens, as when they are decommissioned from the fleet they can be bought at public auctions for stupidly cheap. So they often become peoples Storage sheds or campers. Not THAT strange to see.
In the rural south east you'll see them with the tops cut off and full of watermelons on the way to market!
You see decommissioned buses and even decommissioned ambulances around where I live all the time. It's definitely more of a rural thing but it's not too uncommon!
really interesting that the dev included that he must be from somewhere rural
weirdest thing I've seen an old school bus converted to was a barn (they basically just took off the wheels and removed all the seats), the homeowners had a donkey living in it.
lived in West and South Texas and I've seen so many. Always was curious.
"You wouldn't eat the rind of an orange, why eat the crust of the pizza."
well, you see. The rind of an orange is fibrous and bitter...and the crust of the pizza is bread.
How can you _not_ eat sweet, succulent bread when given the choice?!
Because sometimes the crust is really thin and tastes like cardboard… but in times like that, why would you eat the pizza at all?
@@anti-usernamesaltaccount3623Because it could have flavouring..? Also, free carbs!
@@anti-usernamesaltaccount3623That’s when you get some ranch or extra marinara or something??? It’s basically just a breadstick!
@@localmenace3043 Cardboard pizza can’t be redeemed by mere sauce. It belongs in the pits of hell.
isn't that like an atkins diet thing? they used to make my sister take the buns off her burgers
I can't believe this is going to be the last one in the series. 😥 We need a season 2 or something. 😔
Definitely the end of an era, I am also hoping for more. The time period of subconsciously waiting for more episodes was a very real thing for me.
Wouldn‘t make sense not to make more. The game was crazy sucessful and made a lot of money
@@weirdchamp i hope so, these are way too good
Don't worry there will be more
its not the last game lol, pretty sure the creator said they are going to take a break from making the game and come back for a season 2 on his twitter
1:13:04 ngl for a second I thought the horror was going to be having tell Mike no and hoping he didn’t kill you.
The real horror was being a woman all along huh
I thought that as well in fact I think it would be better if this was the plot of the story
What is it with indie horror games and the worst possible slurping/eating/chewing mouth sounds known to man 21:51 was actual torture 😭
SO TRUE I HATE IT!!!
I guess none of the people working on them have misophonia lol
I hated that noise too.
Thanks for the warning. I have misophonia. Chewing noises make me angry as hell
The breathing too bro
Who goes to a pizzeria. Asks for 6 slices instead of a pizza. And then uses two half empty pizza boxes to put them in. Such a weird waste of carboard and bad sense of deals.
Lots of local places do pizza by the slice, so if you want variety you can get a slice each of several different kinds. They usually serve them in normal boxes, too.
@@Zetalight16 I get that but. At least put em in the same box.
I wanna know why it cost 22.50! That’s more than a pizza would be. If they sell slices from pre-made pizzas why is it so expensive?!
Pizza by the slice is such an american thing...
@@DeathnoteBBit’s wrong by the time period, but today in my area, a small pizza is usually 6-8 slices and around $20. By the slice pizza is always a HUGE slice so you’re pretty much getting at least a medium for the same $20. It’s actually a pretty good deal to be honest 🤷🏻♀️
I love how when he was lookking at the airbnbs, it sounded like one of those dads that get super close to the screen and mumble almost incoherently and it takes it suuuuuuuuuuuuper seriously

Wait. that's a dad thing?? I do that too when I'm reading out a list or something lol
Gosh the most uncomfortable part of this game was having to be stuck with Mike… Dude gives me the creeps..
idk he was cool during the ride, def weird at the house tho
bro needs start learning how to read the room lmao
he wasnt creepy at all, just awkward, game atmosphere made him look scary because we didnt know who was supposed to be killer or bad guy yet
Hey let's take a ride together. Hey let's hug. HEY let's HUG. Hey let's stop at the pizza place. Hey let's go around the house. Hey let's cook, but first let's catch fish (I will contribute nothing and make you catch and extra carp). Hey let's watch TV (you have to turn it on). Hey let's play a board game (you have to pick). Hey let's AHHHH jumpscare got you lol. Hey let's play hide and seek. Hey let's do it again. Hey let's do it again. Hey let's check in the attic (I mean you check in the attic). Hey let's remember how I've been awkwardly flirting with you the whole time while you're clearly not receptive to it, and let's talk about my feelings and how I want to smash at nearly 12 in the morning. Ok bye gonna pick up our stranded friend
all in the span of like 4-6 hours, the only time Sydney has to breathe is when she's in the shower. poor girl had to babysit and entertain a grown man
He's literally the "where's my hug at? WWOOOOWWWWWW" type of guy that nobody likes.
This is kind of weird because in my 33 years of life I've used an Airbnb once and it was in....Woodbury.
This is definitely about you now 😂 woodburys an alright place but i definitely get weird vibes from the area at the same time
You sure this isn't about you?
You sure left one hell of a review to inspire this game.
I know you did, Michael.
Because I was there watching you sleep.
Eek! The 'burbs! 😱 I don't go out that far unless absolutely necessary.
Manly swerving into a lamppost the moment he gets the car keys is very on point.

The most horrifying part for me was when he entered a public bathroom sipping coffee, even bringing it into the stall. Thats rank man.
22:09 Is it not common to eat pizza crust? I thought people ate the entire pizza and not just some part of it
Yeah that was weird, Comparing it to an orange peel is just ridiculous
Have a friend who does this, apparently they say that it tastes bland. I personally say this is where you pull out a dipping sauce and eat free breadsticks.
Depending on the quality of the pizza place and how many pizzas they pump out each day, sometimes the crust tastes low-quality.
A lot of people do that where I live. I never understood it. You just ate a massive piece of (baked) dough slathered in tomato sauce and cheese. Might as well eat the rest of it. It's the best part for me.
I personally don't eat pizza crust all the time. There are times where I do, and times where I don't. I have no clue where I got it from, or why, but I just usually don't.
The way Mike acts when Nora messages them is like "When your GF keeps interrupting your alone time with the love of your life" lol
I feel bad for Nora and I’m only at 23:34
This guy is definitely trying to hit on us, despite seemingly being in a relationship already. And he sounds as creepy as one would expect someone who does that to be
@@DeathnoteBB without this context he acts like a walking red flag tbh
I didn't think he and nora seems to be in a relationship before the bed talk? but everything he said and did makes me uncomfortable as hell
i thought he was using nora as excuse to get them alone together, like tell her to bail last minute so it's just them
@@DeathnoteBB wait what? where does it tell he's already in a relationship?
@@DeathnoteBB even if he's not in a relationship he's still creepy as hell imo. Like get him away from Sydney NOW
It sounds like Rick maybe knew who the fake Rick was, as in he had to confront him before. The way he says "this is my property" like he thinks he own the house/wants to own the house or something despite being Rick's and maybe has been harrassing him in the past about it
What I’m thinking it could be rick was a relative with how it seemed to go quiet after all this. Probably one that used to live in the cabin and was squatting on it.
@@Shauntheduke. Oh you're right! That or the owner got the house from the parents or something and not Rick and Rick is really mad about it, I don't know if in the story submitted the real rick also knew about the layout of the house but that would explain it too
I was wondering how fake Rick knew about Harper texting the real Rick for help. that's a lot more effort involved than just breaking in and living in an AirBnB
@@octochanEdit: Got names switched
It sounded like he didn’t. He asks Sydney what’s going on without mentioning being contacted. Sydney explains the situation and *then* he knows to lie about it. Before then presumably, based on the noises we hear when Sydney is in bed again, the Angry Man tried to break in, but ended up discovering Fake Rick instead, which was the loud noise and screaming. At first I assumed Angry Man saw some way up to the attic, went up to it and got caught and slammed into the bedroom window, but who knows.
But anyway, after Fake Rick as that altercation with Angry Man he comes back to ask Sydney about it, most likely assuming she knew him and was staying with him as well. Which is why he was being cagey about what he saw until she explains. If he was her friend and he admitted to getting into an altercation, that makes him a suspect if he happened to do anything… And the implication is he definitely did something, then came down to get context for the man being there. He had no way of knowing about the text, he just happened to show up at the “right” time.
Fake Rick definitely harassed previous tenants as well, given Rick said he had been talking to them on phone.
Mike's judging looks as we crashed into every obstacle on the road made my day.
Dude I had a scary instance of staying at an Air BnB for one night, and just had the worst vibes ever. Just a dingy place with instances of someone had been living there and not just a rental. With a locked door in a bedroom that was directly next to the bed. Horror games told me that someone was 100% going to come of that door while i was sleeping, and against my instinct, i decided to stay. Thankfully, nothing happened, but I left as soon as morning came.
I used AirBnBs quite a bit before the fees got out of control, and distinctly remember the ratings were almost always close to 5/5 unless there was something funky going on. Anywhere below 4 stars was to be avoided like the plague for those exact kinda reasons, was *never* worth saving a few bucks
haunted by the family who got kicked out so this douche could air bnb the place. lmao
My friend's brother once had to stay in a hotel for one night. There was a locked black door in his room. Nothing happened but he was afraid and blocked it with furniture
...umm no. You shoild not have done that. What is the point of putting a random locked door in your BEDROOM when you know that other , unfamiliarized people will be coming to that place to sleep and relax?
Way too creepy. And unnecessary.
At that point Id just stay at almost any dingy, boring hotel in that area. I know the hotels there may have bed bugs, roaches, rats, etc... but the pests wont rob or kill you. A random deranged person or geroup of people behind that door? They probably will...
@@chevchevirwas there a lock on his side of the room too?
Everytime Manly crashes the car and the dude is just like: 😟

The sound effect for eating that pizza is the most horrific thing in the entire game.
the real horror was being trapped in a cabin with mike

@@quasarsurferseriously, giving all the red flags. Idk super weird dude.

Despite the sillier choices the game forced on you, I feel like this one was especially good at creating a tense, uncomfortable atmosphere. I didn’t feel like she was safe with any guy here, especially Mike. I like how the creator uses misdirection often in this series so you never really know where the threat is going to come from. I’d be looking forward to another season or whatever the dev has in mind next. 👍🏻
I thought this episode did a great job portraying the necessity for vigilance in women's day to day life.
Obviously the game is hyperbolic, but it conveyed the tense, hyperaware mood well
@@drewgoin8849 Women dont need to be hyperaware and suspicious lmao, thats a really bad way to live. Any human just needs to look out for themselves and be careful, not paranoid. But yeah, Mike was really creepy. During the first part, he was chill, but at the house he was creepy af.

The only real horror here is mikes lack of social awareness. Everyone here is mentioning the hugs, but is ignoring that this dude woke the Mc up at 1 in the morning thought it would be a good idea to confess his feelings and offer to sleep in the same room. He couldn't have done it at an earlier time, like when they were fishing or watching TV? I was more creeped out by his behavior than the other crazy dudes
To be fair, "Rick" literally kills you. So he's kinda the biggest creep just because of that.

@khalidhassan9423 do you mean if the main character was also a man and Mike liked him? Because if that's what you're referring to, I would be saying the same thing about Mike.
was not expecting the effort of putting the toilet seat down
My favorite part is how it's being narrated in past tense, so you can just imagine this lady telling the story and then derailing into random tangents about putting down toilet seats
Did anyone notice that after coming back from fishing 48:47, the basement and fridge doors were open? Even one of the milk cartons was gone, haha. I bet the fake Rick drank it and is hiding downstairs, which is why after playing with the Ouija board, there were sounds coming from the forbidden door 54:00 🚪
Fake Rick never intended to get caught in the upstairs bathroom... but then IBS struck.
i also noticed the milk, very sus of it to disappear, i was surprised the characters didn't say anything about it.
That explains the scary music

it was very obvious to me tbh, i knew the guy wasnt home owner at start because the real rick didnt wrote a message at all, also like mike says nobody fixes sink with hammer or creepily enters inside in rental cabin. though story was very fun and engaging the minigame stuff was also good. probably best FTF so far in terms of quality though i still prefer carson house
and the guy never said he's rick in the first place
The MC would have found that out sooner had she texted the owner "Hey, we found the cat you told us you were looking for in the attic" like I would have done immediately after finding a cat in the attic and the Real rick would have responded "I don't have a cat"/"I haven't spoken to you" or something

Happy to see these improving more & more!
my guess at the ending- maybe the mom dying there wasnt a joke and it was this guy’s mom? but he got screwed out of keeping the house or something?
Yeah. I was kinda thinking that it was like the weird brother locked in the secret room or something, but thinking about this idea I kinda wonder if maybe he’s the weird brother and the real Rick got the house in the will. Would explain why he seemed to know the guy but not want to say anything.
@@pixie12 OOO they’re BROTHERS that’s a good theory. Fake Rick could be “weird” or just didn’t have the money to keep the house when the bro wanted to turn it into a rental. Rick lives in Burlington which looks to be a ski town…
41:20 Based on that and the other stuff he says here he might also live in the basement, probably in the little closet with the sign on it. The other tenants must have heard him before which is what Real Rick talks to them about at the end
The pseudoRick was probably some troublesome relative of the real house owner, the kind that hasn't done anything extreme YET, but the whole family feels awkward around.

But rather they were an excuse for Pizza AMSR.
(Seriously though, why is this in (almost) all of them?)
You can turn the eating and toilet sounds off. Manly doesn’t 😅
I had to mute the video during that segments, the eating sounds were way too close and deliberate they pissed me off 😆
Pizza consuming has never been this immersive. Floating AR loading bar and all
I think the scary music inside the house (and outside just as they arrived) is the way to show how Harp is feeling staying there, the house makes her feel anxious, she then calms down while fishing, the music turns chill, back inside the house - she gets anxious (very understandable cause of the crepy guy and a potential granny ghost in the basement).
Uhm.. Did you not notice that upon returning from fishing, the fridge door was open, as was the basement door and a milk cartoon was missing. That id why the scary music came.

during a period of time he uploaded every single day,
i think nowadays he sometimes have periods of time he has 2-3 days without new videos
It might be a joke or a slight exaggeration, but Manly does mention in this exact video that he occasionally goes whole days without sleep working on videos for the channel. If true, that would explain a lot.

It's more complicated in this story though to be fair. During the awkward "conversation" Sydney and Mike do say that something "happened when they were drinking a lot before", implying they hooked up at some point in the past. Clearly Sydney saw it as a one night stand/mistake but Mike caught feelings. Most people commenting seemed to have missed that detail, which makes things a little better for Mike, despite him still being awkward/creepy.
@@ravenID429 And if they're clearly missing the fact you're not interested, instead of beating around the bush just be direct.

either the creator of this game forgot about that small detail or they forgot most pizza places don’t have places where you can sit and eat so they automatically use boxes

I've been playing a lot of Fear and Hunger Termina, and am playing it while watching the video--the sound effect at around 37:00 (the screech followed by the dude jumpscare) is mixed into the nightmare world ambient theme and I had sudden whiplash thinking I'd triggered something in the game.

I’ve had these at offices before and it’s annoying when there’s a line. I think drip coffee is still the best time efficiency one as it’s largely automated.
I got in trouble at work for bringing in my own coffee machine at my desk. It was like the HR office manager’s ultimate day like she was born for that moment. Probably put a print out of the problem on her yearly report and framed it on the wall.
Anyway that’s sick how detailed the coffee station is at the start of this
What was the issue with having that at ur desk? Hr sounds wild.
@@shadowmoon1982 There's probably a technicality of electrical voltage at cubicals not technically supporting kitchen appliances / office food equipment regulations. Nobody really cares about these though and they mostly exist so you don't have like 5 microwaves with the intent to take down the building power / mass microwave fish just to be intentionally obnoxious.
I think the real reason was people were complaining that I had my own coffee maker even thought I bought it myself. People usually just complain about everything
I think you're a good candidate for those Bunn coffeemakers that gas stations use where there are at least two brew stations AND carafe warmers on the top
20:19 didn't expect the random lilypichu cameo 😂
Yeah no ones mentioning it
right?? I was scrolling trying to find anyone mentioning it lol
The dialogue really threw me off on this one, like it was set in the 90’s but the prices and language of the characters made it seem like it was modern day.
It wasn't set it the 90s. The air bnb style website for rentals wasn't a phenomenon then. There was a car commercial playing in the pizzeria scene that mentioned "all new 2005, 2006 models", so it was was probably set in 2005. I have no idea what pizza by the slice in VT cost then, or cabin rentals, but the dialogue fits that time frame.
@@Cog_Nomen Don't forget, Mike said "I need to check my tracking info on my Laptop for when my new DS arrives." The Nintendo DS came out November 21st 2004. Also Sydney's neighbor was playing a PSP which came out March 24th 2005 in North America. So I agree 2005
Also they were making lengthy voice messages through SMS, in 2005, that's crazy. A lot of stuff doesn't make any sense.
@@Cog_Nomen The dialogue is anachronistic. A direct example, Mike says that the pizza, "Slaps," and while the term saw usage as early as 2004, it only referred to a specific element of music and didn't take on the meaning it has now until the mid-to-late 2010s.
Also they have the old windows 95 UI for her work computer when you open the spreadsheet
They say under 100 a night, if divided by 3, most those options was a choice.
I figured he specified under a hundred because the artist friend is so dirt poor she could only afford to pitch in ~35 bucks or something like that
@@MIAM_MIAM_CUISINEmoral of the story don't be friends with artists
There are two kinds of people in the world
Those who eat the whole pizza (have beend raised properly)
Those who leave the pizza crust on the plate (will go through all 9 circles of Hell for all eternity)
I've watched a lot of these playthroughs, and this was legitimately creepy. Maybe I'm just in the right mood, but this felt real.
i seriously hope they removed entrails and drained blood from those carps, but anyway carps taste like river muck with a load of fishbones mixed in
Yeah bizarre choice. Vermont has tons of trout, which is delicious
I think the scariest part was when the friend started to hit on you. >_< Better to have a clearly defined bad guy than a person who is angry that you don’t love them.
Mike made us go check the attic, spooked us, got scared and ran during the basement Ouija session… and then claimed he would protect us. Utterly completely delusional guy. If I was stuck in that cabin with him he would’ve been the murder victim.
@@septimus3083 oh geez that too! 😭 I would have been so scared-mad…I’d probably just lock myself in my own room at that point and just comfy bed rot with my cell phone XD
@@septimus3083 dudes r just like this. There was a whole ass comment that a guy said “ur dur, men’s obligation is to keep her safe” or that every dude would protect a woman from a creep. They’re extremely out of touch
@@V1l5k Alright we get it you don't like men.
@@t4kumi704 good
I'm actually really impressed with this, for a team of 5~ people they did a great job. The atmosphere was perfect, and the build-up was very fun. The interactivity in the game was also refreshing to see. The people who made this should be very proud of their work.
This scared the heck out of me because I'm currently watching his FNAF: Into The Pit series at an Airbnb alone..
This *Fears to Fathom* reminds me a bit of the movie _"Come to Daddy (2019)"_
Where Elijah Woods goes to meet his father for the first time or something. But when he goes to his father's house in the middle of nowhere, he meets this weird creepy abusive guy who claims to be his father. Woods later finds out that the guy is a kidnapper and his real father is actually being held captive under the house by a gang.
A game got big on itchio a few weeks ago that essentially followed that plot, 'Dad'.
I remember seeing a mobie like this too, but it was two kinds going to stay at their grandparents house for the first time but it turned out these two old folks were from an hospital or something and killed their grandparents. It's a bit fuzzy.
@@ricardocavaco1910Yes, that's The Visit
@@Frstb0 thank you, I couldn't remember the name!
Mike reminds me a lot of a guy I met in college... I have debilitating social anxiety, I was trying to push myself to make friends and join social events and he kept touching my back, my leg, my arm when sitting next to me. I've always been very isolated and non-confrontational, I didn't know if those were normal friendly behaviours and I did not dare to question it. Then he invited me to hang out with him and his sister's friend group... when I went, his sister's friends allegedly "had to leave early" and I was stuck alone with him the entire time. Kept trying to hold my hand, even forced it out of my pocket. When the following days I tried to distance myself from him he shifted behaviour and immediately started side-eyeing me and acting bitter like I was a bitch. Coincidentally his name was Micheal
You did well to distance yourself from him, that sounds awful. I'm sorry you experienced that.
Wow that’s awful. Sorry you met a guy like that, especially when you’re just trying to be friendly and more social.
Oh wow something similar happened to me about a year ago. I also have social anxiety. To make a long story short I was on a date with a guy and I just didn't feel like we were vibing well. But I stayed to be polite. (I know) Anyway, we stood next to his car after dinner and he kept talking to me about anime nonstop and I was listening to be nice. We say our goodbyes and all of a sudden he gets into my personal space, puts his hands on my lower back, and forces me to kiss him. No warning, no asking. Just suddenly there's this man in my space. Yeah.... it was really awful. I never got into my car so fast in my life. And sure I could've pushed him off me and made a scene but I didn't know this guy or how he'd react and I have social anxiety and that's the last thing I want to do. Also I'm not very big, I'm only 4'11, so there's only so much I can do. Honestly I'm so sorry that happened to you. It seems like whenever people like us try to put ourselves out there it just ends up blowing up in our face. :( I hope you're doing better now.
He only failed because he didn’t have enough sigma rizz if he did you two would be bussin rn
@@BuetifullPersun nah im not looking for anyone atm
The person who wrote that 100% TRUE and HONEST Email to the FtF dev for "some reason" comes across like a Redditor's first draft for r/NoSleep, it doesn't at all like someone telling a story about something that actually happened to them.
As Jonathan Frakes would say "If you guessed that this unfortunate tale of terror was a true event, well then you guessed WRONG. That's right, we made it up."
"It was a total fabrication."
"We fooled you."
iirc ftf was based in r/nosleep, so yeah, stories are "real" as they get lol
I think that's fine though, the appeal (the same as nosleep) is the plausability. Like even though its almost definitely fictional they need to be written in a certain way so that you can suspend disbelief if you get immersed enough into the story
"a complete work of fiction"
That was such an enjoyable watch. Cozy horror, if there is such a thing haha. From a female perspective this was vastly uncomfortable, since you’re basically surrounded by guys who may have intent to harm you because you’d either offended them or rejected them, so none of whom you can completely trust. This is why as females we’re so careful who we talk to and what we say. The guy confessing was sooooo awkward and uncomfortable - also so realistic. Great job to those who worked on the game 👏
Tough shit keep crying.
I used to be this awkward guy... When I was 16. Now I grew up and I can read the room better due to the different experiences I had. Mike is just a big baby who never learned any of that.
Okay, the pizzeria part is an auditory hellscape, even without the obligatory "protag MUST eat food noisily and sloppily" thing the previous parts of this game have done it sounds like there's ambient eating noises included _in the bgm itself._ I can't even tell whether it's actually there or just my mind playing tricks on me because I've been gaslit on eating sounds in videos before where people've acted like they're not there when I comment on them, but either way, excuse me while I vomit.
You can turn the eating and toilet sounds off in the settings. Manly just didn’t. 😂
@@Spooky_Platypus Oh really? That's very considerate of the dev, then! Always appreciate when devs do stuff like that for accessibility, like how House Flipper will turn roaches into broken glass or any of the various arachnophobia modes in some games with spiders (and now I'm just thinking about the screenshot from...Lethal Company, I think it was, where their arachnophobia mode turned the spider-like enemy into a model of the word "SPIDER" hehe).
1:12:49 "it's just gonna be this awkward conversation" *laughs in rich*
Thank you Manly, you'll never know how much your video helped me tonight. Was awake most of the night and needed something to distract. What do i find? Not only a Manly video but a Fears to Fathom! Brilliant!!!!
I like how Mike's truck sounds like a forklift when you reverse, with hibeams thatll melt your face.
Lmao
With plenty of horror elements in the game such as the ouija board, a basement with a room out of access, a cat outta nowhere in the attic, was expecting a lot more scares but really felt the intensity. Nice one like the other ones in the series !
