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.

玩了一会 呕(晕) 玩了一会 呕(晕) 我玩了这么多3D游戏,只有它和古墓丽影崛起让我晕成这样。故事情节也是一眼望得到头,但其实还是被吓得蛮过瘾的,场景设计啥的也比较有水平,流程没什么分支,一本道不会卡关。 但是制作组真的觉得放一堆空柜子和空抽屉是很好的很真实的设计吗???我翻柜子都要翻力竭了。
Walking simulation with full of scripted jump scares. Atmosphere and storytelling could be better. But the ending was goodenough. 7/10

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.

流程不长,但是剧情很有趣,一般也不会出现卡关,是我比较喜欢的线性恐怖游戏,只有一条路可以走,不用担心漏找道具,很推荐。
