Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
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 · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 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.

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.

Great imagery
[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]
