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.

Reviews
非常好的恐怖游戏,与其说是恐怖,不如说是诡异,跳脸杀很少,整个游戏从头到尾都在营造一种怪异的氛围,现在冬天晚上玩还是很有压迫感的。解谜难度也不是很高,适合新人上手。剧情有点谜语人,大概讲的是一个画家因为火灾中妻子毁容而陷入酗酒和疯狂的事。缺点是流程比较短,部分场景真的很黑,看不清路。总体给到夯,现在史低几块钱入手不亏。
好玩
Simple, efficace, perturbant...

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.

看不懂心理恐怖,所以不恐怖
場景很漂亮
还没有玩完,没什么突脸追逐,但是很恐怖,音乐氛围太压迫了,总是要转头,总是要开门《层层恐惧》名字太贴切了
Прошел Layers of Fear за 3.2 часа. В конце мой ГГ просто психанул: собрал все компоненты, последним был глаз, вставил его, а картина начала смеяться. Он её выкинул, сказал «я был так близок», и меня откинуло в начало в испорченный дом. Оказалось, я попал в «Петлю» это такая концовка. Атмосфера топ. Реально жутко, когда комнаты меняются прямо за спиной. Сюжет запутанный: если просто бежать по истории и собирать только куски для картины, как я, то выйдете на плохой финал. Графика и сцена с кучей выкинутых картин в конце это мощно. В общем, игра крутая, но перепроходить еще 5 часов ради «хорошего» финала я пока не готов. Если пойдете играть не будьте как я, ищите вещи жены, а не только краску и холст! Еще у меня есть длс от лица дочки, думаю, может его пройду, там вроде за пару часов можно управиться.
我去,这游戏恐怖程度给到NPC;但是在解开旋转木马八音盒的锁后的动画,和结尾在主人公的画中才见到妻子毁容前的模样像真是牛逼克拉斯丫。OK丫 我也是直接让豆包给我生成层层恐惧的比基尼照片了好吧。
eu digo que em terro esse jogo e o melhor que ja zerei ele sabe quando te assustar e e muito boa a narrativa do jogo sem contar as musicas e um jogo muito bom recomendo pra todos que gostam de jogos terror psicologico
