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.

纯步行模拟器，要说吓人真不至于，游戏性太差了，不停的开门还走的慢，还搞一堆空抽屉让你翻。为了所谓艺术性表达完全抛弃作为游戏该有的乐趣，第一款玩的快睡着了的恐怖游戏。不过关卡设计真没得喷，流程很短但几个结局有点难打，主要是不能存档导致反复通几遍真的折磨。
心理恐怖，强

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.

不知道玩了个啥，操控精神病男主在他家装满任意门的一万平米的屋子里走了3W多步微信步数找自己老婆的英雄碎片的故事，现在的恐怖游戏都是只要主角能用W走路的步行模拟器吗?？
ну типа хз не сильно уникальный психологический хорор, из плюсов красивые переходы а так во время прохождения было скучно и пытался быстрее пройти, хорошо что игра проходиться быстро(2 часа ) как мне кажеться я просто не выкупил прикола игры
Layers of Fear (2016) — атмосферный психологический хоррор, который отлично погружает в мир безумия и творчества. Игра впечатляет своим визуальным стилем: постоянно меняющееся окружение заставляет чувствовать себя потерянным и держит в напряжении до самого конца. Особого внимания заслуживает история художника, которая раскрывается постепенно и вызывает искренний интерес. Звуковое сопровождение и дизайн локаций создают мрачную и запоминающуюся атмосферу, а отсутствие привычных боевых механик позволяет сосредоточиться на исследовании и сюжете. Layers of Fear — отличный выбор для любителей психологических ужасов и необычных повествовательных игр, способный подарить несколько часов по-настоящему захватывающего опыта.

前一个半小时对怂货很友好
不错，十年前的恐怖游戏放在现在也依旧能打，游戏虽然采用走路模拟器的方式互动但还是能感受到恐怖的，比较难受的就是知道主角有点出生但是还要替他完成赎罪有点膈应
Вроде и хорошо, а вроде и второсортный шлак. Сюжетец зиждется на типичном для подобного жанра субстрате. Некий оммаж на P.T. но хоррор составляющая в разы менее выразительная, определить ее можно как просто наивную, то есть разработчики поставили перед собой цель - напугать игрока, и они с этим не справились, хотя попытки были. Бродилка-пугалка со слабыми головоломками и... о да! закольцованными лабиринтами. Шел-шел, уперся в стену, поверни обратно и пройди уже пройденный маршрут чтобы нащупать триггер продвижения далее. Настолько клишированный и избитый архетип для подобных игр, а в сия продукте он еще и обладает характером репетативности, то есть абсолютно во всех главах передвижение по локации происходит по этой формуле.
