Stranger Danger Is Very Real

As the first episode of the Fears to Fathom series, this horror game is short but feels realistically scary. The games are based on true stories found on Reddit from the survivors of scary situations. There are three achievements to get in this episode, and they’ll all be covered in this walkthrough.

In Fears to Fathom: Home Alone, you play as Miles, a 14-year-old boy who is home alone for the night after his parents leave for a work trip. Unfortunately, Miles isn’t alone for long. Someone has been watching the house, and late at night they’ve snuck in through the back door. Now you must help him make it out of this situation alive.

8:03 PM

At 8:03 PM, Miles wakes up from a nap. It’s time to make dinner. Hit space to get out of bed, then walk out of your room. You’ll get some texts from your mom, remember to keep reading all texts sent throughout the game to get the Curious achievement. Before going downstairs, go over to his parents’ room past the stairs and walk in. Out the window, you should get your first glimpse of the stalker.

After this, head downstairs and go into the kitchen to your left. Grab the pan of lasagna out of the fridge and put it in the oven. While you wait, go turn on the tv in the living room. When the food’s done, sit on the couch. You can eat your lasagna by looking at it and clicking it but watch the stairs in the upper left corner of the screen. Halfway through your meal, you should see the intruder walking upstairs.

Once you’re done eating, turn the TV off and go up to your room. Do not enter your parents’ room, he is in there right now and he will kill you. Instead, go to your bed. Miles will remember he has homework. Sit at the desk by the window and do your homework. It is now 12:38 AM, so go to bed.

1:16 AM

For some reason, Miles can’t sleep tonight. He’s thirsty, so he decides to get some water from the fridge downstairs. Go down the stairs, ignoring your parents’ room. Open the fridge, get your water, and drink it. If you look at the TV in the living room, you’ll notice it’s not working now. Go back upstairs, and try to go to bed, when suddenly, your mom sends you an alarming text. There’s a stranger at the door.

Go back downstairs and crouch by the window in the kitchen. The man is waiting at the front door. If you make a loud noise into the microphone, you’ll alert him, giving you the Loud achievement. Don’t worry, he can’t get you unless you open the front door. Now go back to your room and hide under the bed, making sure to close the bedroom door behind you. After you do this, he’ll break the window and enter.

After a bit, you should get a text from your mom saying that your neighbor Paula is at the door. Get up and open your bedroom door. Walk towards the stairs slowly. Suddenly, your parents’ door will open, and you’ll see the intruder’s shadow. Go back to your room and hide under the bed again, or he will kill you. Again, don’t forget to close your bedroom door!

Soon after this, you’ll hear police sirens outside. Now the intruder has been caught, and you are finally safe. Leave your room, walk down the stairs, and out the front door to Paula. You’ve beaten the game and earned the Survivor achievement!
