Description

A first-person psychological horror with a strong emphasis on atmosphere and storytelling. Explore an ever-shifting Victorian mansion as a painter seeking to complete his masterpiece, even at the cost of his own sanity.

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.

Game Features:

  • 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.
