Cycle
The art and art style in the game is so engrossing, being an artist myself its a fun and spooky way to be immersed. I've played it a handful of times and its always a different experience, seriously one of my favorite games to date <3
[i][b][h1] Layers Of Fear (2016) [/h1][/b] Nesta casa, em que seus cômodos eram antes ocupados por desejos e sonhos, agora se contorcem e desdobram ao protagonizar a história de um homem, e sua obsessão pela arte. Fragmentos que agora se tornaram um depósito de memórias e acontecimentos passados lhe tornam uma das poucas testemunhas da ruína de uma família. Enquanto busca pelos materiais para criar a pintura perfeita, o final dessa narrativa ficará a sua mercê. Cada movimento, morte e atenção concedida a determinados itens alteram de maneira sutil - mas filosófica quando finalmente notada - a conclusão dessa história. Diante dos seus feitos imutáveis do passado, entre tintas e quadros, tudo o que lhe resta é concluir essa trágica pintura. [b][h3] Inheritance - DLC [/h3][/b] Retornando a sua antiga casa, lar dos seus traumas de infância, uma garota precisa encarar seu passado quando presenciava seu próprio pai sucumbir a obsessão com pinturas. Seguindo o ritmo do jogo base, suas escolhas tomarão o veredito final dessa história. [b][h3] Conclusão [/h3][/b] Qualidade impecável, extremamente lapidado![/i]
beautiful psycholoigcal horror. puzzles and exploration abound. be patient and enjoy the journey. rather simple and easy gameplay and mechanics: good for a beginner or someone newer to gaming. a classic and beloved game for a reason. finished it once years ago and recently decided to buy it for myself. doesn't require insane specs to play.
Good graphics and super cool transitions (things change in rooms when you turn around). Overall fun, not too scary but good jump scares and plot.
