“Another great atmospheric Fears of Fathom episode! The house was by itself creepy without any intruder, being alone in a big house like that is definitely terrifying to me already!”

“Une version améliorée du 2ème épisode. Un peu plus de gameplay, un peu plus long.”
“Following the precedent that Fears to Fathom: Home Alone, and Fears to Fathom: Norwood Hitchhiker had set, this unsettling installment raises the bar and brings the series firmly back to its horror roots. This exciting…”
“This one is quite a bit longer than episode 1 which I have played, and theres a lot I love that came from the first game. - Seeing that these were stories sent in from others, it's very cool to see how bad things can go…”
