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 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 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.

𝒮𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓎 ↠ This game has a deep lore that really forces the player to replay the game to uncover all secrets and discover different outcomes. It definitely pulls you in to discover the mysteries you keep unfolding and trying to piece them together in your head to understand the story. 𝒱𝒾𝒷𝑒 ↠ The atmosphere is really scary and I have been scared countless times. I am a scaredy-cat overall so it may be different for you. But if you wish to be sucked into a endless loop of scares, lore and creepy sounds go for it. 𝒩𝑒𝑔𝒶𝓉𝒾𝓋𝑒𝓈 ↠ Although it was overall good. I was overwhelmed sometimes by jumpscares or atmosphere so much that I forgot to think clearly and got stuck in a couple of places for some minutes. So just a warning that if you have issues with focus or paying attention to one thing at a time - this may not be for you. 𝒪𝓋𝑒𝓇𝒶𝓁𝓁 ↠ This game features a deep, mysterious story that rewards replaying to uncover all its secrets and endings. Its eerie atmosphere and frequent scares create a highly immersive horror experience. Overall, it’s a thrilling experience, but it may be challenging for players who struggle with focus under pressure. ★★★⯪☆ PS: Id wait to buy it on sale :3

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.

Walking simulation, but not bad.
I stuck it out to the end because it was highly rated, but it really is a nothingburger. The story of someone descending into madness is a staple of horror, so original execution is key here, but this fails in most respects, even taking into account it was made in 2016. It has a creepy atmosphere, but the characters and plot are flat and undeveloped, and nothing adds up to anything. You don't care about any of it, nor is there much of a payoff at the end. There are a few interesting scenes, but the rest is reused assets and cheap scares. Even an average writer could have made the characters interesting and tragic with very little extra work, and writing is what indie developers are supposed to excel at, but they didn't even make the effort here, apparently. For my time and money, I'd choose something else.
Basicamente você so tem que andar para frente enquanto alguns acontecimentos TENTAM te assustar, isso tudo por algumas horas. Ai você joga a dlc e faz tudo isso novamente por mais algumas horas. Muito chato sinceramente.
2018年免费时领的。当时由于比较胆小,玩一半就没敢继续下去。时隔多年再次打开,一口气通关全结局,依旧会被不少桥段吓着。 氛围制造一绝,没有追逐战,却处处透露出一股压迫。叙事也有深度,三个结局有三种不同的解读方式。 强推!恐游经典!
Очень классная игрушка с довольно таки интересным сюжетом! Про художника который медленно сходит с ума, в попытке закончить свой последний шедевр! Особенно сильно мне понравилась музыка в игре, которая дополняет картинку на экране и прекрасно передает настроение повествования! Единственное что, при выбивании всех достижений очень сильно задушнился, все эти действия повторяющиеся, скрипты, и лютые трипы очень сильно приедаются, при прохождении игры на несколько раз, дабы выбить все достижения. Без гайда было никак не обойтись. А так в целом вполне себе хороший хоррор, уходящий больше в атмосферу и лютые трипы, ну и иногда попугаться. Рекомендую! 8/10.
点开准备写评测时看到上方“管理我的151个录像及截图”,就知道我有多满意多喜欢本作的场景了 [h1] 我一定要认真为本作写下测评 [/h1] (人总是在亏待前任之后,想要弥补给下一任,此处前任指《艾迪芬奇的记忆》,年少无知,竟没给它写下滔天长评,这里补上) [h2] 个人背景介绍,自行匹配 [/h2] 主观评测,故先浅写下本人的基础配置,望提供更多参考价值(不是本作史低6.8几乎都喜加一了你还搞这么正式以为你测评什么414的游戏呢{bushi,,,非也,还有另一层意思就是觉得大家时间都不充裕游戏又太多要玩,选择一款花时间去玩的游戏实际上真的很需要背景参考,希望可以帮助到你,dbq我太啰嗦了我这就进入正题): 本人虔诚的探险家,三次元步行爱好者,喜欢在不同的城市里city walk,观察建筑,植物,人文,喜欢在此过程中发现新东西,体验派玩家。一直喜欢奇幻类题材,喜欢奇幻场景,电影。 本作,就是在房间里Room circles walk。且有很多新奇、巧妙的设计,一直满足我的探索欲,直至通关~完美的步行模拟器探险游戏 如果你也有同样的爱好,我认为你可以考虑玩这个游戏! [h2] 游戏(不免含些许剧透,请勿放心食用) [/h2] 用心,本作玩下来我能用我贫瘠的词汇库想到的词就是:非常用心!的一款游戏 [h3] 场景交互 [/h3] 开头就讲了真的很喜欢场景,可以称为艺术品的程度。由于本作是恐怖游戏,场景的把控实在佩服: 精致冒粉红泡泡的儿童房间,下一秒就变成恐怖暗黑向; “波粒二象性”的画作,转头之间画已变化; 房间之间是没有特定交互的,虽然到后面笔者凭借自己的聪明才智已经能猜到大概哪里会出现门了嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻(谁问你了!); 道具布置小细节都很到位,怪不得看到制作组画册有这么多人!实属大制作,用心之! 最喜欢的场景是从办公室进入的Y轴纵向长廊,有点像4维空间了,当时脑子里疯狂闪现《盗梦空间》和《星际穿越》里的一些scenes,我喜欢这种能带给我思维碰撞的东西,然后收集再放入我的脑内宝库里 [h3] 解密 [/h3] 本作的解密全都是“拨开云雾见青天”的类型,几乎都是直给,就是很喜欢这种不需要过分动脑一头雾水还得去查攻略的游戏啊,流畅玩之! [h3] 恐怖成分 [/h3] 该作是本人玩通关的第一款恐怖独立游戏,真的妥妥有几个Jump scare场景吓到我楼上的邻居了(我的叫声),除去js的话就是游戏里有很多老鼠引路的地方,呜呜呜我也很反胃且害怕,总之搭配《好运来》食用的话还算啊能接受,还有不要带耳机! [h3] 剧情 [/h3] 本作你将扮演一名画家,你有老婆孩子但是好像和她们的关系出现了问题,于是你在家中各个房间里寻找发现不同的信件,道具,收集各种信息,拼凑完整的故事以及绘出贯穿全文的神秘画作。 其实我不太是剧情向,不过该作玩完实在有点云里雾里感觉很多地方不明白,去看了一些视频才知道原来它是多结局。二选一岔路选择题,所以实际上本作我并未玩完,有一半东西我都没看到呢。 一些惊喜:终于拼成画作时我以为已经通关了,突然就转场到了我画了很多幅老婆的画作,我也是陷入循环了,和《恐怖游轮》电影甲板带给我的惊讶是一样的,反正该画面在我看过该电影十几年后都还在脑海里 我不太喜欢这种非线性游戏,我觉得线性游戏更适合我,再开二周目很多东西都不是新的了,我已经了解到了就不想再玩一遍了,不过本作我大概还是会玩多周目的(存疑) [h2] 最后 [/h2] 我要给它9.8/10分 [h3] 最后的最后 [/h3] 本作是目前我玩的步行模拟器类别里第二喜欢的,第一是《艾迪芬奇的记忆》(一生推,没玩过的都去玩啊向全世界安利,你是谁?请支持艾迪芬奇)
刚开始玩的时候还觉得挺恐怖的,玩得越久反而感觉没有那么恐怖了,不过恐怖氛围塑造的蛮好的
You play as a Victorian era painter attempting to finish his masterpiece inside a shifting mansion that actively tries to break your grip on reality. It is less of a traditional survival horror game and more of an interactive descent into madness. Layers of Fear doesn't rely on combat or resource management to keep your heart racing, it simply warps the world around you until you stop trusting your own eyes. If you appreciate atmospheric storytelling and surreal horror over action, it’s an absolute trip worth taking.
Тем кто любит ужасы всякие, хорроры, морорры и так далее - играть обязательно. Я к таким не отношусь, но понравилось как сделана сама игра. В кратеце - качественный продукт на Unreal Engine (вроде как). Сама идея тоже необычная, присутствует мистика и скримеры страшные, местами даже слишком. Вкупе звуки-пуки дают эффект вздрагивания. И вот круто реализовано всё через картины и смотришь на них тоже какое-то зловещее чувство пронизывает. В общем с этим разработчики точно угадали. Сюжет тоже интересный, запутанный, а концовок несколько, без гайдов будет тяжело понять - как получить остальные. Главный герой наломал дров и всё это вроде как его воображение (то, что с нами происходит). Ещё и музыка тоже накладывает нормально. Присутствует DLC, которое напрямую связано с основной сюжетной линией. В него не играл, не куплено. Хорошая игра, особенно по цене/качество.
