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.
Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
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.

this is the least scary and most boring thing ive ever played. couldnt be bothered to finish it
半步夯,但个人认为还称不上是“神作”,同时也有力说明了寂静岭pt的不可复制性
吓人的部分中后面多,也有突脸,哈哈好玩,剧情什么的是不知道的

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.

страшно
忍着晕给通了 微恐氛围感步行模拟(Js不多) 纯线性0解谜 场景很艺术 放在如今的同品类里都算不错的了 可见在16年确实是划时代的
2016 oyunu olmasına rağmen günümüzde bile oynanılabilecek harika bir oyun asla baymıyor ara ara ufak jumpscare ve bulmacaları var onun dışıında odadan odaya gidip daha çok araştırma gözlem üzerine kurulu bir oyun tabloları incelemek bana oldukça keyif verdi ki oyunun olayının o olduğunu düşünüyorum kesinlikle alıp oynayın
I got this for my friend and she says: "I liked it. I don't know. Very scary" When I asked her if I should give it a thumbs up she said "Yes"
