Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions about Scratch Creek.
Can I play Fears to Fathom: Scratch Creek solo?
No. Scratch Creek is exclusively an online co-op experience. There is no single-player mode, no AI companion, and no offline option. You must play with another person via friend invite or matchmaking.
How long does it take to complete Scratch Creek?
The official Steam page does not list an exact completion time. Playtime varies depending on your co-op partner, communication, retries, and whether you replay for achievements or different endings.
Do I need a microphone to play?
While not strictly required, a microphone is strongly recommended. The proximity voice chat system is designed around verbal coordination, and the texting system is slower during time-sensitive moments.
How many endings are in Scratch Creek?
The official Steam page says Tessa and Marcus survived because they collectively made the right choices, but it does not list specific ending names, ending counts, or exact unlock conditions. Any ending details should be verified through reliable gameplay evidence before being treated as fact.
What are the system requirements?
Minimum: GTX 1050 Ti / RX 580, 12 GB RAM. Recommended: RTX 2070 / RX 5700 XT, 16 GB RAM. A broadband internet connection is required for online co-op.
