It wasn't long before he began experiencing something very unsettling about the place. Little did he know what was about to come.

IF SHE AINT LIKE THIS ION WANT HERRR
This is by far the best episode. I think this story is perfectly realized and captured. The jump in quality here is really something else.
There's a lot going on in this story behind the scenes and it builds up in a gradual way. Everything clicks by the end but you're not sure how until it happens. I wouldn't call the game subtle, but it is in the right moments.
I think the reason why this episode and villain work is because the character has an existing connection to them. The other episodes are just old creepy men that you don't know. But this time you get blindsided because your main character knows this person. There is history, and real pain.
This villain feels the most human, yet at the same time she feels the most monstrous. Those hollow vacant eyes. That unnerving smile. The way she stands there. Laughing, shaking. What I like about it is that there's a practicality to it as well due to the addiction.
A lot of these games have stuff going on in the background that you can miss if you're not paying attention. But this one has the most love put into it. When you take the time to go over the game, you realize you were being watched basically the entire game. Yet they draw zero attention to it.
As a setting, the second game is better. But this feels more scary because of the background behind the story. The story is more personal. It's easier to connect with. And I think someone you would know in real life that could do this is the more terrifying thing.
The episode isn't perfect, the stuff on the computer is slow. The story feels stretched out a bit artificially to create tension. But it's a minor gripe overall.
I think this is a knockout release and cemented the Dev as someone to look out for. Theres real talent here.

Fears to Fathom: Carson House is the 3rd installment in the Fears to Fathom series. And, though this might be a unpopular opinion, its by far my favorite of the 3 games I have played so far.
The story to me, is the best here, and really feels like a revamped Home Alone, where it has a better build up, and it hits a lot of the same beats, but I think Carson House hits those beats, significantly better.
We also are bringing the series back to a house, which to me is scary when a situation like an intruder is breaking in, because we can all relate to being in a house, late at night. When you start to do concepts of being in totally abstract places, we lose that realism factor, and we can't really relate to the fear that much.
This game is just really good, and really bumped this series up for me, where I am really interested in Ironbark Lookout to play, because I was very impressed by this. All the games so far have improved upon themselves, so if Ironbark is an improvement, then I'm sure I will quite like it.
Overall: 8/10
