In the opening moments of Layers of Fear you, a painter, stand in the doorway of a 19th Century homestead’s foyer, bathed in dull, flickering candlelight and wall-mounted lamps. The quiet is the most unnerving and unnatural thing you feel at this point. For a brief few minutes, during your exploration of the first couple of rooms in the house, things are about as close to normal as they will get over the next few hours. The true descent into madness begins the second you unveil a blank canvas in an artist’s workroom.
With Layers of Fear, Bloober Team reworks their previous horror releases into a single package that’s worth revisiting and getting spooked over again.
This is the definitive version of the game and it brings all the previous Layers of Fear content together in a cohesive whole.
GB: "Even in a year as excellent for gaming as 2023 has been, there have been more than a few disappointing releases."
Greyhill Incident had potential but got slammed. I’ll still try it, but on sale or GamePass. Someday.
