      @@zackbuildit88 The first FNaF was terrifying. Later games got kind of ridiculous and the scares became second to the lore, but that first game was something else. As a kid I remember going to Chuck E. Cheese and watching the animatronics perform, and I also remember seeing them stand lifelessly still when they weren’t. It was an uneasy feeling, like if you looked at them or got too close, they’d suddenly reach out and grab you. FNaF 1 brought that childhood fear back

      Though having a woodstove is a good deterrent for in my own home because I have a 2lb metal poker and an axe if needed. And out of my home it's pure fight adrenaline. I'm not afraid to push eyes in and blind someone immediately in a fight. Two fingers jammed into both eye sockets, then kick their hips or lower abdomen with all the force your torso can muster, then get up and run. They can't see you anymore so you can escape a solo person easily.

    Fears to fathom's scariness doesn't come from the jump scares, directly but i believe it comes from the constantly tightening tension that builds and builds until the last second, achieving this through nostalgic fears which you've learn't to be "childish" suddenly resurface with twice the horror since you dismissed the thought of something so seemingly impossible to happen to you in particular.

Although this is genuinely super unnerving. Five minutes in, and the memories of being home alone as a kid are creeping up. Key word is "creep", because holy crap is this unsettling.

      He's a 14 year old kid jumping from the second story of a house while an intruder is sitting in the house waiting unknowing of why he's there after getting a worrying text from mom saying "Do not open the door, stay hidden."
      People don't think clearly when they're under stress, especially at that age and while you're home alone, and arguably this was the more realistic and the smarter decision since you don't know if the intruder is there to hurt you or just steal from you, so hiding is your best move.

    this game gets you really good because it has lots of implied movement, where doors will open after doing something for a bit. Very simple, but it REALLY sells the effect that somebody is near you. It also uses a bit of hidden movement where just barely out of the corner of your eye you can see something move. I love it. Maybe it will get old, but I love the effect.

    Imo, Fears to Fathom's horror mainly comes from two places: pacing and realism.
    Every chapter masterfully utilizes slow buildup through drawn-out, mundane scenes, sprinkling just a few worrying moments (like the person walking up the stairs in Chapter 1) to make sure the tension isn't lost and keeps on building until you either die or escape just by the skin of your teeth.
    Even if the people submitting these stories are lying or embellishing details, each scenario feels like something that could easily happen to you, if you were unlucky. No inhuman monsters, no supernatural elements, just pure, realistic horror.

I do not know why the person was there but I called the police and just waited outside.. Did not wake the person because I was afraid of what they might do if they woke up. Not the worst encounter I have had.. But its for sure a odd one.
