Cassian Floros and Gale Play Through Co-op Horror Fears to Fathom: Scratch Creek

FIRST STAGE PRODUCTION — Cassian Floros of FIRST STAGE PRODUCTION (EN Avallum) played Fears to Fathom: Scratch Creek, an episodic co-op horror game, with Gale in a stream that ran just over three hours. The pair spent roughly two and a half hours in the game, joking through most of it and spooked by a few scenes.

Cassian said at the start that he had meant to play the game the week before without realizing it was co-op, and that the Steam page had not made that clear. The story followed a couple, Marcus and Tessa, moving house with a trailer. Their car broke down on the way, a mechanic at a roadside station told them the engine was beyond fixing, and they were sent to a guesthouse run by an unsettling congregation. Banter between the two players ran through the drive, with a good deal of arguing over directions and gas.

“I feel like we made it pretty unserious.” — Cassian Floros and Gale, after the game

The night at the guesthouse produced the stream’s tensest stretch: a staff member who kept knocking at the door over a promised set of towels, a trip to the basement, and a nighttime escape in which the pair hid in the trailer while a man patrolled the yard. Along the way the players also slipped in a bit of a cow-themed clicker game on a phone. After the credits, they said the scary moments had landed, even as they had played much of it for laughs. Cassian also remarked that a story like this was scarier than a random killer.

Chat cheered the pairing and asked for more collabs, and eight Super Chats came in during the stream. Cassian said he was still a little unwell, with a headache that eased over the evening after medicine, and he did not plan to stay up late.

Once the game ended, Cassian talked through his recent pulls in Honkai: Star Rail, including getting the character Aha on his first ten-pull. He closed by saying he would stream again early the next day with a drawing stream, working through commissions.
