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.
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.

Bueno bueno, es un juego que ya tiene sus años, pero aun así sigue siendo bastante disfrutable y logra darte unos buenos sustos que te mantienen alerta en todo momento, cortito pero interesante

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.

这个视角拿手柄玩太晕了,晕的我找不到开灯的按钮,摸黑逛然后更晕了。但是这个音乐还有氛围我很喜欢,等缓一阵后有时间再拿键鼠玩吧,现在一打开玩就眼花TAT
A new favorite of mine. Simple gameplay, but interesting storytelling. I needed something less complicated to play so this was perfect!
[h1]贼78吓人[/h1] 虽然没有追逐战但依旧恐怖 都给我吓尿了
[h3]通关 不建议心理承受能力弱者尝试该游戏[h3] [h3]前言[h3] 恐怖是一个很古老的题材。早在原始社会时期,人类便有了恐怖这种情绪,而到了现在,“恐怖”这一要素更是渗入了各个领域——小说、电视剧、电影、游戏,你都能找到相关作品。 老实说,我不太喜欢主流语境里的“恐怖”。稍微高雅一点的说法是:在当下的主流语境中,恐怖往往被等同于《生化危机》或《逃生》这类游戏——它们依靠突脸怪物的压迫感来惊吓玩家,让你一味地逃亡。这种与其说是“恐怖”,不如说是“惊吓”。而心理恐怖,其实更贴近“恐怖”一词原本的含义:它强调通过氛围和细节,让你产生一种细思极恐的感受。所以我对心理恐怖并没有像对主流恐怖那样抵触。直白点说,我就是讨厌被突脸——那种惊吓会让我吓得直接把鼠标丢出去。 在此背景下,我开始尝试心理恐怖游戏。第一个是《活体脑细胞》,第二个是《观察者》。很不幸,截止目前我都没有通关。因为黑暗的场景让人发疯,没有任何提示,卡关超过十分钟就会让人产生逃离感。而如果人是在负面状态下暂时结束游戏,这段体验在大脑中的印象就不会很好——心理学上的“峰终定律”指出,人在回忆一段经历时,往往只会记得其中的高峰与结束。于是,当我下一次想要再次尝试这款游戏时,大脑会自动回想起那种负面的结束感,导致我有很大概率选择不再开启它。 而《层层恐惧》,则是个例外。 [h3]关于游戏[h3] 《层层恐惧》发售于2016年,是一款心理恐怖游戏。剧情的推进主要依靠在房间之间往返:推开一扇门,进入下一个场景;当你在当前场景无法继续前进时,试着往回走,或许来时的门就已经打开了——这一设计让我的体验十分流畅。游玩过程中只遇到了一次严重卡关和一次轻度卡关,其他情况下我都能顺利推进剧情。 本作的各种要素毫无疑问完美符合“心理恐怖”的定义——扭曲的画作、疯癫的主角、散落的文献报告,每个场景都透着一股浓烈的诡异感。 值得一提的是,本作没有任何指引。这在大多数情况下对我来说是个灾难,但在《层层恐惧》中却并非如此:没有指引反而让我更沉浸地体验剧情,更深入地融入游戏世界。游戏共有六个章节,对应主角画室里的六个柜子。未通关时柜子是锁着的,通关对应章节后柜子便会打开,里面放着某样东西——疯癫的主角用来画画的东西。这个小创意很有意思。(个人对剧情的推测放在最后,不保证准确。) 如此说来,本作的体验可以说是相当美好了——卡关较少,沉浸感强。如果说有什么问题的话,那也有:不够恐怖。 在游戏的前两个章节,诡异的音乐会让我心跳加速,黑暗的场景会让我的神经时刻紧绷(本作突脸较少,主要集中在后半段,前两章是否有突脸我已记不清,暂且不谈)。玩完前两章后,我选择了暂时停下游戏,平复一下心情再继续。 然而,当我再次打开游戏之后,恐怖感就开始减弱——不是作者的氛围营造出了问题,而是我的感觉变了。我不再会被那些场景吓到,应对突脸也愈发从容。也许是因为每次突脸之前,我都察觉到了某些提示:当你看到前方站着一个黑发白衣女子时,不用想也知道走过去一定会被突脸;当背后传来阵阵啼哭声,我的脑海中似乎也浮现出“转头就会被吓”的推测——但我还是选择了转头,果不其然,又是突脸。 说这么多,是想表达:本作中能吓到我的那些要素,几乎都不是“瞬发”的,所以我才能从容应对。也许有瞬发的,但我不记得了——印象不够深刻。 [h3]关于剧情个人的猜想[h3] [spoiler]主角是一个画家,他有一个妻子和一个女儿。他的妻子也许是因为火灾导致容貌损毁,从此主角开始变得疯疯癫癫。他画了许多幅画,但永远画不出妻子毁容前的样子。随后,主角的妻子想要和他离婚,女儿也很害怕他。也许是这样,也许不是。[/spoiler] 总的来说,这是一部比较优秀的游戏。我最初想打82/100,但觉得有些高了;80/100又感觉像是睁眼说瞎话——这部游戏肯定不止这么低的分数。所以最终的个人评分为81/100。一个杰作,一次美妙的体验。 (本人评测时仅通关主线,未包含DLC内容)
