    You walk. Notes. Triggers. You walk. Notes. Triggers. You walk. Notes. triggers. No horror, no survival, no inventory, nothing interesting. From an ever-changing world, I don't care about the hero, the story, it's just like a trip and that's it.

    The game itself is a walking sim, for players that do not know this beforehand I can understand the frustration. You walk, pick up scraps of info and walk further. Piecing the story together is easy enough and makes for a macabre tale of a painter that seems to have lost his mind. The second game is also included and changes the setting completely.

    Exploring the house in Unreal Engine 5 is a treat. The graphics look awesome and are very atmospheric.

    Now I am not the biggest Blooper team fan and very worried for the Silent Hill 2 remake (one of my favorite games of all time) but Layers of Fear (the first story) was their best game. Unfortunately, it went downhill from there and leaves me worried for the future.    … Expand

    The game's save system drove me crazy, I liked the game in general, but it's a game that doesn't appeal to some audiences, it's still worth playing, the storytelling and atmosphere are really good, you can immerse yourself in the game. The psychology of the game.

    A real **** You walk walk walk read read read read and walking with poker face through non scary screamers. And also you can walk forever until you find a scrap of mirror. Nice feature!!!
    Don't buy it really. Download it from torrent if you really wanna just test this. You drop it after a hour of seeking a item. Nice graphics but it not worth a money.

    Те же две игры просто с обновленной графикой и одно новое дополнение которое проходится за час. Лучше бы сделали полноценную 3 часть.

    I enjoyed my initial experience with the original LOF, but at present, it feels distant.

    Being a narrative-driven game, it's crucial to engage the player in the story. However, this time around, I didn't find myself as engrossed. The gameplay remains rather straightforward, revolving around acquiring items and uncovering more about the protagonist's past.

The issue lies in the fact that the horror elements fail to generate the level of excitement I was hoping for. My overall experience was quite neutral, and that's quite disappointing.

    Visually, they've done a commendable job, but I'm starting to wonder if this game might not align with me anymore.    … Expand

    This is great horror game, looks to be the best of 2023. The art of storytelling has a great power, it makes us feel bad when we finish playing because of what it brings.

    Layers of Fear really brings a lot of improvements that amplify the game's strongest aspect: its immersive atmosphere. Audio and visuals are almost impeccable in this release, and they're truly worth experiencing. That said, playing through all of the content on offer in this remake/remaster collection does stretch the gameplay a bit too thin over its runtime, and it slowly wears out its welcome. What remains is a repetitive and sometimes tame horror adventure game that's worth experiencing for its presentation alone.

    Layers of Fear is a canvas full of perspectives, and its setting is exemplary. From the sound to the visual section, the impression it can cause is enjoyable and satisfactory. However, everything is very predictable regarding gameplay mechanics, and although this is okay, the developer could improve this section.

    It's a good game that everyone who doesn't hate Jumspcare and loves psychological horror should give it a chance.
