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 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.
As you roam the painter’s decaying home, the world warps to reflect his crumbling sanity. Memories blur into sinister visions, rooms twist into nightmares, and each discovery draws you closer to the truth behind his masterpiece – and the obsession that destroyed him.
Created by the modern-day masters of horror – Bloober Team – the original Layers of Fear is renowned for this immersive and tense atmosphere. Prepare for a haunting journey into the depths of the human psyche.
Psychedelic Horror – The unstable environment reacts to your fragile state of mind, reshaping itself when you look away.
Victorian Setting – Explore a game world inspired by iconic paintings, architecture and décor from the 19th century.
Original and Classic Art – Numerous pieces of original art and music flesh out the game’s storyline and its richly-detailed locations.

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.

Не страшная скучная xуйня
这个游戏呢,说实话,不行,对我来说不行。 首先,现在做游戏,这种长叙事铺垫,通过游戏的进程一点一点把整个内容揭开,但是中间没有任何高潮,也没有任何直白叙事的东西,也不给人任何印象深刻的东西。 你让人在半个小时、一个小时之内,没有任何高潮,没有任何吸引眼球的地方,这种游戏在我看来是完全不合格的。你不能够在半个小时之内给人一个能够抓住人的眼球的东西,你的叙事很他妈无聊,那么你这个游戏就是不合格的,好吧。 非常不合格。 这个是做游戏非常值得注意的一个点。现在做游戏不能搞成这种又臭又长的了。 [b]欢迎订阅我的个人中英双语游戏鉴赏:[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/46240801/]A well-designed game with a deep, engaging story. 有剧情深度的,设计优秀的游戏评测[/url][/b]
[h1]游戏的桥段以及融入的故事情节真的让人难以忘怀。[/h1] 游戏的背景音乐,清淡的钢琴配合少女的轻吟,再结合欧式老房子的环境和窗外的暴雨很有感觉。在 spotify 上可以找到Layers of Fear 2 (Original Game Soundtrack)。 相交小岛秀夫的《P.T》和 SadSquare 的《面容》少了很多高能。[h2] [b]恐怖游戏不是只为吓人而吓人,在惊吓过后还能玩家记住些什么让玩家思考些什么,这才是一个好的恐怖游戏。[/b] [/h2] [b]想了解这个游戏又不敢自己玩的,可以去看看油管上H2ODelirious的视频,是真的在带入认真玩,还有他的实况(笑声)真的太魔性了[/b] 转载自其他玩家的剧情分析(包括 DLC): [spoiler]本游戏的主角是一位画家,他的妻子是一位钢琴家,他们都是有名的艺术家。他们有个孩子,还有只狗。画家的腿不好。 妻子因为商城的火灾被毁容(手指也被烧伤了无法弹琴)画家因此无法释然,无法释然妻子的毁容.....因为妻子的毁容失去了创作灵感(可能),画不被人看好,画家酗酒(他把酒视为药),脾气越来越暴躁,还会自虐寻找灵感.....画家慢慢的神智不清。画家冷漠妻子,无视妻子,不再关爱妻子,对女儿更加严格要求(不允许女儿画他认为不好看的画作)也没有和女儿过生日.......画家把自己关在房间里工作对谁也不理不闻。他的妻子无法忍受画家现在的样子,原本和睦的家庭开始争吵不休。妻子开始无法理解画家(嫉妒没有毁容的自己。毁掉了自己没有毁容的画作),也慢慢的神智不清了.... 后来妻子自杀。 对女儿的态度更加恶化…… 女儿最后去了福利院,离开了画家。 画家因各种压力彻底精神失常。 他的精神世界里对老鼠钟爱有加 对了,画家非常爱他的家人的噢。也有过关心妻子,和女儿一起下棋 之后的剧情也就是我们看到的。画家在他的精神世界里寻找创作灵感也就是妻子身体上的种种完成画作。 三种结局 1、画家忏悔自己(自杀)认识到自己对妻子,孩子所做的一切,非常的愧疚。忏悔自焚结局。 2、轮回结局。画家还是没画出自己想要的妻子,再一次再一次再一次开始画作 3、自我结局/自画像结局。画家无心忏悔自己对妻儿所做的一切,走出了自己精神世界创造出了自画像,成为了伟大的画家(在自画像结局中的自画像摆放的位置/背景可以看出,是在画展) 女儿的结局 1、接受。成为了画家 2、不接受。和房子一起被火埋葬 3、作画。成为自己[/spoiler]
Скучная
Вирішив дати грі другий шанс але думка не змінилась, максимально переоцінена гра, нецікавий сюжет який ще спробуй зрозуміти без відео на ютубі і як горрор жахливо працює
Walking simulator, and cabinet opener.
经典补票,重温一下差点忘了这是多恐怖的游戏。细腻的精神分裂症画家视角,极致精神污染的演出和很多信息碎片,展示了一个很优秀的家庭悲剧。游戏通过走路模拟和收集物品展开,有类似老寂静岭2的内置评分系统决定不同结局。但还是不得不吐槽,因为交互提示过弱,纯点击手动操作非常不爽,不熟悉的时候极易卡关,开抽屉摇把手这种简单的事情也很容易搞心态,需要有点心理准备。
Nothing much to do other than walking and watch a nightmare unfold every few doors you pass. Would do better as a movie. Overall the non-euclidean environment is well integrated to the story but game-mechanics are non existent (literally).
