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.

Interesting game. definitely gave me a few jumpscares and made my skin crawl is very short though
Yea its a good game, but this concept of having to play through the main game AND the DLC like 4 times each or whatever is not something im gonna support or rather "do". Its not THAT good. Also the way to get to these endings is soOoooo000ooo0o0o00 tedious like come on man. You have watch out for what to interact with, what you pic up, where you go to… nah man. But other than that i reccomend it, it is VERY creative and artistically inspired. Great vibes and mood overall, lots of chills to be had.
might be the best horror game, it has all my favourite things: schizophrenia, paintings, rats and wine. i honestly prefer games where there are more "wtf just happened" moments than scary blood-pumping chases
VREY GOOD GAME
