Fears to Fathom® - Scratch Creek

Tessa Langley and Marcus Reed are a young couple from Oregon setting out to move to another state. Unforeseen trouble diverts their journey to Scratch Creek, a small town where unsettling events threaten their plans.

Play as one member of the couple in an online two-player narrative horror story. Work together on tasks such as loading furniture into a trailer and driving, while exploring unfamiliar places and trying to stay safe.

The pair sometimes become separated and encounter different events, communicating through in-game texts or proximity voice chat. The episode combines exploration, driving, stealth, and chase sequences, with duo matchmaking available as well as playing with a friend.

In the supplied reviews, players who enjoyed the game often highlight how co-op lets them share scares and funny moments, while separations and different events give each partner their own experience to recount. The eerie atmosphere, in-game texting, and playing with a friend also come up as positives. Some reviewers, however, found the episode short or were frustrated by its chase sequences and technical problems.
