Fears to Fathom - Carson House

You play as Noah Baker, an 18-year-old taking a weekend house-sitting job for a local media-company executive. What begins as an ordinary stay becomes increasingly unsettling as he looks after the property.

Explore the large house and its surroundings in first person, completing everyday jobs such as shopping, caring for the dog, and working on the host’s computer. You can also cycle to the store, check security cameras, and receive texts from other characters.

Progress through a short, story-led sequence of tasks and conversations as the situation develops. The game uses exploration, interactions, and occasional choices to move the episode forward, with a VHS-style visual treatment and gradually rising tension.

Reviewers often praise the uneasy atmosphere and slow-building tension, describing how ordinary house-sitting activities and a grounded setting make the story feel unsettling. The VHS-style visuals, security-camera sections, and gradual escalation also stand out for many players. Some reviewers, however, find the shopping tasks and progression unclear, and report bugs or frustratingly strict timing and checkpoints.
