    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

    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.
