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 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 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.

bom jogo com atmosfera maravilhosa e um começo bem imersivo. Mas que decai com o tempo, começando a se tornar bem previsivel. Mesmo assim, é um jogo bem legal
性价比极高

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.

Layers of Fear by Bloober Team creates a truly immersive experience, even when dealing with profound and deeply personal themes in an artful way. The sounds and atmosphere are uniquely well-intentioned and blend together perfectly – the symbiosis of heartbeat and bass is striking. The player delves into a deep story told through several chapters from a first-person perspective. It would have been nice to learn more about the protagonists, but this may have been intentional.
this is a game from ten years ago, with a retro Western mansion style. The plot is about a crazy painter and his wife and children. In terms of price, I can also give a good review. The style of the game is also perfect. I hope that everyone will wear headphones when playing games, so that there will be a unique aesthetic and retro feeling. There are radio music, piano music, etc. Wonderful music and magical scenes can bring fear to players, and a small part of the plot will encounter ghosts, depending on whether you are afraid or not. In the first two chapters, I basically walked with my head held high. From Chapter three, I basically kept my head down and didn't dare to look up. Overall, this is a top-notch game, and I could give it a perfect score in ten years. I also hope that more people will pay attention to this game released ten years ago.

伟大的作品，高级的恐怖！
Шизоидный, претенциозный симулятор ходьбы без геймплея. Если хочется психологического хоррора лучше запустить любую из классических частей сайлент хила эпохи пс 2. А это кал для всяких куплиновых чтобы развлекать аудиторию 14 летних девочек либо для всяких баб которым очень хочется вкатится в ГЕЙминг чтобы гордо называть себя ГЕЙмершой, но нормальные игры где нужно делать что то помимо ходьбы для них слишком сложные.
