    The true masterpiece is the endless struggle to create art. Jump scares and predictable tricks in horror games won't work anymore. The story of the artist is intriguing while still making you feel tense and uneasy about what you see. Layers of Fear made story, gameplay, and atmosphere work together in harmony.

    A fun, thrilling – and yes, very scary ride. Its amazing visuals and fascinatingly-creepy environments will have you hesitating at times, jumping at others, but always pushing onwards to uncover the story of its insane protagonist.

    Yes Layers of Fear has a ton of jump scares yet everything else comes together as well to offer players a feeling of truly descending into madness. Sometimes a game comes along that sees a team of people coming together to create something unique and scary all the same. That’s Layers of Fear in a nutshell and it scared the living hell out of me.

    Layers of Fear is a well executed title, which focuses on the linearity and jump scares rather than psychological terror. But his biggest setback is a story that could have given more of itself for enjoying this "ghost train" more than just going through it.

    Layers of Fear masterfully toys with your sense of reality, when it's not throwing cheesy jump scares in your face.

    Layers of Fear is a linear game that is a few steps behind the horror titans. The 4 hours needed to see the ending couldn't be considered wasted time but I had some doubts during. The game can scare you pretty well - unfortunately after a while the pattern becomes too repetitive (at the same time this is the moment where the rooms become more interesting). Layers of Fear takes some stuff from the P.T. demo - but when you copy, you should do it from the best source possible.

    In other words, not so much a game as a tool to drive traffic to someone’s YouTube channel. That’s not game development. It’s pandering.

    Проплаченные Журналюги как обычно поставили невысокие оценки, тк разработчики им не заплтили.
    А Энгри джо со своим 6 из 10 вообще обосрался и перестал считаться обьктивным критиком (стал таким жирным логвиновым из пиндосии).

    It's a great horror experience with many creative elements.

    Many complain about there being too many jumpscares, but what is a horror game without the fear of something lurking to jump and kill/scare you? Jumpscares are not a large problem because a lot of the games spook comes from the atmosphere. The several jumps in the game are pretty well done regardless.
    Great graphics and decent animations make this title an appealing one. Needless to say, this is a clear upside.
    The story is interesting and dark, and the player can read notes and look at items to get additional facts and information. There are multiple endings for replayability.
    The gameplay is simple. There are a few puzzles of sorts, but the majority of the game comes from the horror aspect. There are many very creative scenes that break up the basic events of the game.

    Overall 8.5-9/10. If you are on the fence about buying it, just wait for a sale. Otherwise I recommend it for any horror enthusiasts. Make sure you play it alone in the dark for the most memorable effect! You shouldn't need to turn on the lights while playing.    … Expand

That one was more of adventure-misteryCame looking for something like 'The Vanishing of Ethan Carter', which I loved, and was dissapointed. That one was more of adventure-mistery game; this one, it seems, pure horror like 'Anmesia' & friends (don´t like them), but without a real enemy -you can´t die-.

    After opening the empty bottles wardrove, nothing more surprised me for the rest of the game. Notice that I only played 60% of it, because the story really wasn´t worth it with great but repetitive visuals, looping gameplay and some gems of music. When you have hundreds of games in your backlog, time is priority, so...

    Either way, you can´t name your game 'Layers of fear', when FEAR is what it lacks. Heck, even 'Bioshock 1' creeped the hell out of me, even 'Don´t Starve' and 'Dark Souls' caused more dread upon me while in the noob phase.

    Obviously, emotion-focused games differ greatly in differents people´s perceptions, but if you feel alluded, DON´T BUY.    … Expand
