Overview of the Game “Fears to Fathom - Home Alone” is a freeware horror game developed and published by Rayll. It is the first episode in the “Fears to Fathom” series and was released on Steam for Microsoft Windows on July 2, 2021. The game is designed as an episodic psychological horror experience where each episode tells a unique story narrated by survivors of unsettling events.

Premise and Plot The narrative follows Miles, a 14-year-old boy who finds himself home alone while his parents are away for work. The story begins on July 12, 2008, when Miles wakes up at around 8 PM after taking a nap. He has some homework to complete but decides to eat first. His mother informs him via text that she has left lasagna in the fridge for him. After heating it up and watching TV, he receives a message from his friend Mason Oliver, who cannot join him due to other commitments.

As the night progresses, Miles receives a disturbing text from his mother containing a photo of an unknown man outside their house, taken by their neighbor Paula. She advises him to lock all doors and wait for the police. This moment marks the beginning of escalating tension as Miles hears noises indicating that someone has entered the house.

The plot intensifies when Miles hides under his bed after hearing glass shatter in another room. He learns that Paula is at the door trying to reach him, but he is too frightened to leave his hiding spot. Eventually, he encounters an ominous shadow in his parents’ bedroom before managing to escape downstairs once the intruder has fled.
