Stream Brief
What it's like to stream Fears to Fathom: Scratch Creek
Scratch Creek is an online co-op horror story where Tessa and Marcus drive, explore, and make survival choices together. Its short episodic structure creates clean stream arcs: driving and wandering give chat room to react, then texts, proximity voice, and a bad choice can spike the horror. The VHS-film look, decrepit small-town setting, and survivor-narrated stories give you plenty to unpack without burying the co-op action.
Lock in a partner before going live, then make each major choice a chat prediction. Let viewers argue for Tessa or Marcus’s response before you commit. Keep both voices audible and narrate what each text might mean, since the game’s tension comes from collective decisions. Use episode breaks as reset points, recapping the last survivor-narrated beat before driving into the next section.
