Fears to Fathom

Fears to Fathom: Home Alone When Something Isn’t Right

Fears to Fathom is the first episode of the Rally Psychological horror anthology. You are Miles, a 14 year old boy left to fend for yourself while your parents are away at work. What starts as a quiet night of doing chores, checking messages, and hanging out around the house slowly turns disturbing when strange sounds and suspicious activity suggest Miles isn’t alone. The first-person perspective, realistic home setting, atmospheric sound and VHS-style graphics build tension without constant action. Text messages communicate instructions and story details, and slight environmental changes make familiar rooms more and more unsafe. The episode comes in the form of a survivor’s account, with Miles making the choices that helped him survive the night.

Before you act

Explore the house, interact with useful objects and follow the messages that Miles receives on his phone. Before entering another room, watch for windows, doors, shadows and strange noises. You don't have the luxury of powerful weapons to fix the danger, so you have to explore carefully and choose how you respond when something feels wrong. Don't panic at every noise. “Scan your environment, do what you need to do, and respond cautiously as the situation becomes more threatening.” Enter Fears to Fathom and see if you can help Miles make it safely through the night.
