Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.14/day in the week to Aug 25 → 3.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
The legendary game where it all started. Kickstarting an award-winning series in style, Layers of Fear plunges you into a tale of madness and artistic compulsion as you take on the role of The Painter determined to complete his magnum opus at all costs.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 14: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Debes de tener el tiempo suficiente para estar unas 2-3 horas caminando y abriendo puertas, atravesando salas y pasillos (que a veces se hacen algo repetitivos), y la paciencia necesaria para tratar de entender una historia que es algo confusa, compleja y lenta, pero que, con algo de esfuerzo, puedes llegar a comprender. También considero algo elevado el precio del juego, pero como lo he conseguido por una oferta bastante buena, no puedo quejarme, debes tener esto en cuenta, no habría jugado el juego de no ser por esta oferta, ya que no era demasiado atractivo a primera vista, y mucho menos por su precio original. Sin embargo, tengo que recomendarlo, porque Layers of Fear cumple con lo que promete; un juego de terror psicológico (más suspense que terror en mi opinión) que intenta combinar gráficos bastante decentes con una buena música, ambiente, y escenarios. Además, hay algún que otro "puzle", pero no esperes encontrarte nada del otro mundo. En mi caso, que me gusta abrir todos los cajones, curiosear mucho, y ver cada rincón de las habitaciones, he tardado relativamente poco en terminarlo. Si no te detienes mucho, en menos de 3 horitas lo puedes completar. Hay más finales según tengo entendido, y coleccionables de notas, cartas y demás, que te vas a ir encontrando por las salas y distintos cajones (para logros de Steam imagino). Aviso de que hay algunos sustitos puntuales que ni yo me esperaba, y eso me ha gustado, además de algunas transiciones de una sala a otra que me han roto completamente la cabeza, seguramente por jugarlo a unas horas un tanto extrañas jajaja, y con bastante sueño en el cuerpo. Creo que esto último le da ese "toque especial" al juego, no es broma, lo recomiendo. Por último, recomiendo también para una experiencia algo más "inmersiva" apagar todas las luces, volumen muy alto, usar unos buenos auriculares, y darle a Layers of Fear la oportunidad que se merece.
its okay, jumpscares get repetitive and very surface level symbolism :/
👍 Recomendo Layers of Fear foi uma surpresa muito boa pra mim. Eu gosto bastante de jogos de terror, mas aqui o foco não é susto barato toda hora. O jogo aposta muito mais na atmosfera, na tensão psicológica e na forma como a história é contada, e faz isso muito bem. Você joga como um pintor obcecado em terminar sua obra-prima, explorando uma mansão que parece mudar constantemente ao seu redor. A cada cômodo descoberto, mais detalhes da história vão sendo revelados, e aos poucos você percebe que existe algo muito errado acontecendo naquele lugar. O maior destaque é a ambientação. A mansão é extremamente detalhada, cheia de quadros, objetos e passagens que ajudam a construir o clima de loucura. Teve vários momentos em que eu simplesmente parei para observar o cenário e tentar entender o que estava acontecendo. Os efeitos visuais e sonoros também ajudam muito na imersão. O jogo brinca bastante com a percepção do jogador, fazendo corredores mudarem de lugar, portas desaparecerem e ambientes se transformarem quando você menos espera. Isso cria uma sensação constante de desconforto. Apesar de não ser um jogo focado em ação ou perseguições intensas, ele consegue prender do começo ao fim graças ao mistério e à narrativa. É praticamente uma mistura de terror psicológico com uma experiência narrativa. Se você procura um terror mais voltado para história, atmosfera e tensão psicológica do que para jumpscares, Layers of Fear vale muito a pena. Nota: 8,5/10 🎨🕯️ "A verdadeira ameaça não está nos monstros da mansão, mas na mente de quem vive nela."
6/10
Lo recomiendo juego y parte historia es 9/10 me gusto.
공포게임들 중에서 뒤돌면 왔던 길이 사라져있고, 분명히 비어있던 벽에 갑자기 문이 생기면 소름 돋잖아요? 여기 그런거 자주 나옵니다. 다 좋습니다. 좋은데요.... 마지막에 자동으로 화면이 회전 하는건 대체 왜 있는 겁니까? 그때부터 갑자기 멀미가 훅 올라오네요. 첫 챕터때 맵이랑 똑같아서 다행이지, 하다가 순간 그만둘 뻔했어요.
26.6.12 Dobby is free!终于全成就了,谁家好人打个层层恐惧打25个小时啊(吐出一口老血... 首先,从剧情上来说这个故事线很明确,不会让人玩了之后看不懂(看到有人说剧情里的画家原型是伦勃朗)。一共三个结局,轮回结局最后那个画也太阴了,果然还是自焚结局是好结局。相比之下我感觉DLC节奏更紧凑,也更有可玩性,尤其是童话(画)世界和现实油画两条线并行真的很有趣! 其次,游戏里没有特别恐怖的地方,刚开始打的就是自焚结局,一看到鬼影就莽上去,后期已完全免疫妻子跳脸!不过为了全成就刷了N周目,明明已经在屋子里逛熟了,但是了解了剧情越玩越觉得脊背发凉,可能这才是真正的恐怖之处吧。 最后一些get成就小tips:打自焚结局尽量送死,不收集鼠灾绘画,收集妻子相关信件和怨念物,推轮椅;打自画像结局要求全程无伤,不收集妻子相关信件和怨念物,多收集鼠灾绘画,不推轮椅;打轮回结局可以死一次,怨念物、信件和鼠灾绘画都可以收集一点(尽量不要只偏向一方),但是不推轮椅。千万不要先在一个存档里收集齐了鼠灾绘画之后试图打自焚结局!!!打了三遍都是轮回结局我真的累了ORZ
