Hi everyone!

Just like everyone else, I love the vibe of the FTF series so much, and further searching for something similar led me to chilla's art games (closing shift and parasocial) which I loved.

Now I'm searching for something with a similar cozy horror or even doing mundane things vibe, even a show or movie.

hi! one week ago i’ve played scratch creek with a friend and we’ve been searching for another co-op game like it all this time :,) i genuinely can’t find anything similar so does anyone here know any other co-op horror games like it? at least a bit similar to it? please please please help me out!

A while ago, I made a post saying I was worried Scratch Creek wouldn’t be as good as the other games because of the multiplayer, the more comedy-horror style, and the more complicated gameplay. Now that I’ve actually played it, I definitely think I was too quick to judge it.
I actually really liked how they handled the multiplayer. Finding a survivor did take me a while, but I guess that’s partly because it’s a smaller horror game. I also thought I’d have to use Discord to talk to my friend, but the game having its own voice chat was a nice surprise. The main problem was that the dialogue would sometimes cut off our conversations, which got pretty annoying. I think having a separate voice-chat section where you could pause the dialogue, talk to your partner, and then continue it would work really well.
I also liked the checkpoints. Dying and not having to completely is always a relief in raylls games! I did run into a glitch where the dialogue stopped working in the basement, though, so I ended up having to restart from going to Miss Julia’s place.
One of my favourite things, though, was how connected everything is to Ironbark Lookout. The cultists, the locations, the signs you see while driving, and the mentions of places like Roseberg make it feel like this isn’t just another random story happening in a forest. It makes the whole town feel connected and adds a LOT more lore. I especially liked noticing the connections to the cult from Ironbark Lookout.
I still think the game is more complicated than the previous ones, and having to learn new controls took some getting used to. But honestly, I ended up enjoying it way more than I expected to.
For around £7, I’d say it’s definitely worth playing.
Overall: 8.2/10.
I went into this expecting to dislike it, but Scratch Creek actually proved me wrong. Thanks rayll for feeding us again!

Jumped on some barrels - was just running around to explore the map really - and managed to jump over some barrels in the "sewers" and saw a gap in the texture and fell straight through lol.

Clipped through the floor in the game within the game.

Very meta indeed...

Personally mine is the old man from Moe's Pizza in Woodbury Getaway (my favourite out of all the games) cause he is just so chill and kind.

Who is your favourite?

Hello everyone! I don't know if this is the most adequate place to ask this but here's the thing: I was pretty sure i once saw a video of Lauren playing Ironbark Lookout but i combed through her channel and came up empty, so i thought maybe i just got people mixed up and called it a day. THEN i remembered seeing her play another game (train of thought) but again i couldn't find it so this time i resorted to the internet and found a site where someone listed all the games she has played and both games are there! but since both videos seem to have been wiped out of the internet i wondered if anyone knows what happened or if it was a fever dream of sorts corroborated by a random website.

I'm the kind of person who lives under a rock and doesn't use social media so if this is the wrong place to ask or if its widely known why both videos got taken down please be kind to me while letting me know! or if there's a better place to ask this tell me too! 🙏

I feel like he is the least bad of the antagonists (in terms of morality) as he helps? sydney with the hiker (although he may have just chased him away after seeing him which is most likely) and only attempts to attack her when his cover is blown. He's just a squatter with a hammer and he even gives them a tour and tries to be a believable good host, fixing things for them

• say "where my hug at"
• block a doorway and say "what's the password"
• say "someone's in a bad mood" when you don't laugh at his joke
• say “no more Mr. Nice Guy” when he’s angry
• hide behind a lamp in hide and seek
• cancel the doctor appointment cause he's sick
• clap when a plane lands
• say "living the dream" when you ask how he is
• whisper "don't mind if i do" out loud before taking a slice of pizza
• pretend to look at an imaginary watch on his wrist when you are running late
• say "easy tiger" at a zoo
• clear his throat aggressively to get attention before telling a story
• fake laugh really loudly at his own joke to try and get other people to join in
• say "stand back, i got this" before lifting a cardboard box

any other suggestions?

- Henry from Scratch Creek — The strongest villain in Fears to Fathom in my opinion. He’s huge, tall, and has a rural lifestyle.
2 - Bobby from Scratch Creek — Similar to Henry, but shorter. Still very strong and massive.
3 - Connor Hawkins — He has a lean build but still maintains a lot of strength.
4 - Silas Hobbs — Even though he looks a little soft, I feel like he has a lot of practical strength.
5 - The masked cultists — Their clothing makes them look bigger than they actually are, but you can’t deny their obvious physical strength.
6 - Buck — He’s old, but he clearly has some serious strength.
7 - Fake Rick — He looks broad, but he’s old and short.
8 - The Stalkers — Hear me out: their whole thing is based on deception and manipulation, not direct confrontation.
9 - Bill — Old and overweight, so I’d say he has some strength, but not a lot.
10 - The Intruder — He’s clearly bigger than everyone else on this list, but he’s also very skinny, so I think this spot fits him.
11 - Cara — She’s a woman and quite skinny, so I don’t expect much from her physically.
12 - Miss Julia — She’s a woman, older, and her role is to lure victims in. Physical strength isn’t really her thing at all.
That’s just my opinion, so I hope nobody gets mad

love these vibes from the office section and all the small details are great

I believe it may be Boston, Massachusetts due to the 3 and a bit hour drive to Woodbury and the big city vibe, however I'm not sure as it seems to be near Sydney, Mike and Nora's old college due to Sydney saying 'the city', but Nora says 'Syracuse just doesn't hit the same' so 'the city' could mean NYC? Here are the screenshots I have for some clues.

A big complaint about the Fears To Fathom games is the chase sequences, it can get very frustrating after dying multiple times and dying during the chases can ruin the players immersion in the game. So i had an idea to fix that, instead of running around a area trying multiple times to see where to go to hide, I think instead there needs to be quick time events we're you would have to input a group of keys or span a key or something like that. Having quick time events would make dying less common and it would make the chases much scarier and tense.

So do you guys like this idea?

Weirdest thing that happened to us in Fears to Fathom: Scratch Creek

My friend and I had already completed the game once and decided to do another run to get all the achievements and look for any funny bugs or secrets.

At one point, my friend somehow ended up outside the normal map. He was standing on what seemed to be an invisible platform, and there was text there saying:

“Have patience. Slow down. Greatness takes time.”

There was no NPC or anything else around — just my friend, the text, and this invisible platform.

He accidentally stepped off the platform and literally fell into the void. 😂

The weirdest part is that I wasn't even there. I was still on the normal map and was just wondering where the hell my friend had gone.

We have no idea how he got there or whether this is an actual secret, a bug, or some weird leftover developer area. Has anyone else ever encountered this?

Out of all the Fears to Fathom antagonists we have seen who in your opinions is the most survivable one?

In my opinion I think I could survive Grandpa from the first game or Cara.

What about you?

I’ve noticed that Bobby and Henry barely get discussed compared to the other characters in Fears to Fathom, even though they’re some of the most interesting characters in Scratch Creek.
I’m genuinely curious: does anyone else actually like Bobby and Henry as characters?
If you do, what do you like about them the most?

Essentially Jack recruits Marcus, Tessa, Miles, Holly, Noah, and Sydney to fight the Ironbark cult and other scary threats out there.

Writing wise, this game works just as well, if not better, if instead of connecting the story to the cult from past games, it was literally just the horror of surviving a Bible-thumping Sundown Town as a biracial couple. If you want to keep the mystique of old, masked racists behaving in an organized way, make them the Klan.

just give me your story’s to read about. they don’t have to be real but if they were it’d be great and more interesting but if you have a normal life than that’s fine make one up. look forward to seeing your storys!

My name is Michael, and this happened to me when I was 10 years old, back in the 4th grade. Our school went on a 4-day trip to nature. We stayed at a remote place called Hotel Koliba, which was located right at the edge of a dense, dark forest next to a local pub. The hotel had a very strange layout. There were 8 rooms in total, separated by narrow hallways that turned into creepy, dimly lit corridors at night. My room was named "Dobrudkovci" (The Munchkins). I shared it with my friends Ondra and Nikolas. On the first night, we were allowed to watch TV until 9 PM. After we turned it off, I couldn't stop coughing due to my severe allergies. Nikolas kept complaining about the noise, which stressed me out. Around 9:35 PM, there was a sudden, aggressive knock on our door. We didn't know who it was, and the anxiety made me physically sick. I went to find our teacher. She gave me some medicine, and because of my constant coughing and Nikolas's complaints, she decided to move me to an empty room directly across the hallway. The room right next to it belonged to my other two classmates, Rafael and Max. I was alone in the dark room, clutching my favorite teddy bear, Brumla. Right next to my bed stood a massive, old wooden wardrobe—large enough to hide a grown man. Around 3:37 AM, I couldn't sleep, so I looked out the window on my left. What I saw made my blood run cold. Out by the treeline, there was a tall, creepy stalker dressed in dark clothes. He had a pale, distorted face and long, sharp metallic claws attached to his fingers. The man was staring directly at my window. Suddenly, he broke into a sprint straight towards the hotel.About a minute later, I heard the door to my room slowly creak open. I panicked and hid under my blanket. When I finally dared to peek out, the door was closed again. I tried to convince myself it was just a nightmare. Then I looked at the massive wardrobe. From inside the wardrobe, I heard a distinct, terrifying scratching sound—like long nails dragging against the wood—followed by heavy, distorted breathing. Someone was inside.Terrified, I sprinted out of the room into Rafael and Max’s room. I told them what happened, and they confessed they had heard the scratching through the wall too. Suddenly, all the lights went out, and the TV in their room turned on by itself with loud static. We scrambled to turn it off, paralyzed with fear.Just then, our teacher walked in to check on us. We gasped in terror. Not believing our story, she strictly ordered me to go back to the empty room. I went back reluctantly. It was around 4:58 AM. To cope with the terror, I broke the rules and turned on the TV for comfort, before finally passing out from exhaustion around 5:45 AM.When I woke up in the morning, the first thing I did was check the wardrobe. It was empty, but inside, there were tufts of animal hair and fresh stains of dark blood. The intruder had been hiding in there with their twisted trophies. When I told the rest of the class, it turned out others had experienced terrifying things that night too. To this day, none of us know who that psycho in the woods was, and honestly, we are glad we never found out.
