About
Layers of Fear is a first-person psychological horror adventure developed by Anshar Studios and published by Bloober Team SA. The game was released on June 14, 2023, and offers a single-player experience built on Unreal Engine 5. This title supports Ray Tracing, HDR, and 4K resolution to enhance visual fidelity. A loyalty discount of 45% is available for players who already own the 2016 original or Layers of Fear 2. The anthology includes three distinct stories featuring protagonists known as The Painter, The Actor, and The Writer. These narratives are interwoven to form a complete collection that encompasses both base games and all downloadable content. The Final Note DLC provides a new perspective on the first game's storyline from the viewpoint of The Painter's Wife. The Lighthouse Chapter introduces The Writer to tell a never-before-told tale that ties the entire series together. Players can explore unsettling environments while solving puzzles to uncover the narrative at the heart of the experience. The main story takes approximately three hours to complete, while adding extras extends playtime to five hours. A completionist run requires about eleven hours to finish all content. The collection also features a haunting soundtrack composed by Arek Reikowski to add tension to the gameplay.

Layers of Fear Critic Reviews and Review Scores
EurogamerEdwin Evans-Thirlwell
A gloriously ghoulish horror game with some trippy transformations, held back by what it borrows from other releases.
PC GamerJames Davenport

Layers of Fear is an intriguing experimental haunted house, but without a proper sense of pacing, it fails to scare.
IGNChloi Rad

Layers of Fear lacks the surprises and subtlety needed to keep things interesting all the way through. It makes a strong first impression, but quickly exhausts its best ideas, making it hard for them to really shine as scary or meaningful moments. It's hard to be terrified when you can see what's coming at the end of every long dark hallway.

If you like jump-scares, this is for you. If you like horror titles that effectively establish an atmosphere, this is not for you
