Fears to Fathom: Scratch Creek Guide - Solo, Co-op, Walkthrough, Endings & Achievements
Start here if you are deciding whether Scratch Creek fits your setup: it is online co-op only, cannot be played alone, and works best when two players are ready for the full session.
This hub routes you to the right guide for solo questions, co-op setup, walkthrough help, endings, achievements, length, and buying advice.
| Player question | Direct answer | Open guide |
|---|---|---|
| Can you play alone? | No. Scratch Creek is online co-op only, with no solo mode and no AI partner. | Read more |
| How many players? | Plan for two real players online. Do not buy it expecting couch co-op or a normal solo episode. | Read more |

| How many endings? | Use the endings guide before replaying, especially if you want both Marcus and Tessa outcomes. | Read more |

Start Here by Player Type
| Player type | Best next step |
|---|---|
| Solo player | Do not start with this episode unless you have a partner. Scratch Creek does not offer a normal solo route. |
| Two-player group | Read the co-op guide, decide who hosts, and keep communication clear before major story choices. |
| Story-first player | Use the walkthrough only when stuck, then check endings after the first natural run. |
| Completionist | Open achievements and endings before replaying so you do not waste a second run. |
| Buyer on the fence | Use the worth-it page if the co-op-only design, short length, or price is your main concern. |
