r/FearsToFathom

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.

A big problem og Woodbury Getaway is MIKE. No one likes Mike, no one will EVER LIKE MIKE, so I have a idea. When your cooking the fish with Mike I want it to be a option to throw Mike in the oven and cook him alive.

Yall like this idea?

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!

Like genuinely, you can't even find a match anymore. I really hope they add an NPC option or make the future game singleplayer.

In Ironbark the cult is this opportunity cult that targets anyone they see, even children are taken but they all white. The 3 kids that went missing had their pics on the billboard when you meet Bill for the first time, the hiker you help was white and Jack the main protagonist was white. But in Scratch Creek they portray them as a racist cult primarily targeting Marcus cause his black and his girlfriend since she's white and with him, they most likely see her as like a race traitor. So if the cult is racist in Scratch Creek, why did they target white children and people in Ironbark?

Seems like these games have spawned a new genre of "retro horror".

Or as I like to say "Fears to Fathom clones".

I've seen several games now in the same style as these.

Is the competition good, or are these people just trying to make a quick buck?

If rayll eventually continues with the same style of the game logos, what do you think the new icon color should be? We haven’t had white, but it’s not a unique color.

Maybe light blue? I don’t know. Drop your guesses and speculations.

As we saw in Scratch Creek, multiplayer implementation is difficult. Therefore, they had to reduce the immersion from the previous episode, Woodbury Getaway.

Honestly, I much prefer single player + tons of immersion, because in Woodbury Getaway, you were able to, for example, interact with random cabinets in the office, make different types of coffee, purchase soda at numerous vending machines, use the ATM outside Moe's Pizza, catch multiple types of fish, have a choice of board games, etc. However, in Scratch Creek, everything was very linear and it felt like there wasn't much to interact with other than the game itself. I enjoyed Scratch Creek, but its much easier to replay Woodbury Getaway due to all the tiny details you may have missed. I am aware that there are still some in Scratch Creek, but these feel less intriguing.

What do you guys think? More immersion and single player or less and multiplayer?

Question 1: How did you first get into creating music, and who were some of your inspirations for the genre of music you make?

Neb: i started making music at the end of highschool. like most people i really enjoyed music, and i have always been the type of person to try to do things and i fell in love with it. i loved the process of writing and loved the feeling of when it becomes the end product. my inspirations are xxxtentacion, atlas, mac miller, b rogers (smaller artist on soundcloud), big L, rejjie snow, there are plenty.

Question 2: Besides music, do you have any other passions?

Neb: massive gamer, cs2, rust and age of empires 2 rn :p

Question 3: How did your music end up in Fears To Fathom? And did you know of the series beforehand?

Neb: rayll was a listener of my music, and when he followed me we began chatting about music and everything. i was even in his spotify wrapped. a couple months later he showed a development pic of a lil game called norwood hitchike. it showed a picture of a person being in a car, so i reached out and let him know he could use my music if he wanted. it all happened pretty organically, and i consider Rayll to be a really good friend of mine.

Question 4: What is your favorite song you've created? My personal favorite is Distant.

Neb: im glad you like distant :) i have a few favourites honestly, some of them mean quite a lot to me. but i would say, an underrated one is 'From me to you'. i really like that one.

Question 5: What's your process of making music?

Neb: fairly simple, i usually find beats and just start singing alot and see what comes from it. i often have a direction in mind or i try to feel the vibe of the beat for the direction of the lyrics. all flows out.

Question 6: Do you have a favorite Fears To Fathom game? If so, what makes it stand out more?

Neb: ironbark lookout would be my favourite. partly because i am most proud of the songs that were in that one and that time period of my life when it came out. I also like the whole watch tower vibe the most, that concept has always freaked me out hahaha.

Question 7: Is there a style of music that you haven't tried making yet, but want to in the future?

Neb: not necessarily. i am always open to making new things, i just try to stumble into things when it feels right and take it gradually.

Question 8: Did you make music specifically for Fears To Fathom?

Neb: mostly no, however, 'Come Home' i made specifically with Fears to Fathom in mind :)

Question 9: Is there anything you'd like to say to your fans?

Neb: i love you alot! i am extremely appreciative of anyone that has taken any time to listen to my music or give me any thought. and gigantic love to rayll, he is a really good homie and im proud of the community he has built with fears to fathom, i am super honoured to be apart of it.

What would you guys think if Fears to Fathom became a thriller series someday?

Imagine a docudrama format: in the opening scene of each episode, an actor playing the survivor (like Holly or Jack Nelson) addresses the camera directly. They greet the viewers, explain how they originally posted their story on Reddit before sending it to Rayll, and then the episode transitions into a dramatic flashback from their POV during the actual event.

Do you think this concept would work well for the show?
