↠ The atmosphere is really scary and I have been scared countless times. I am a scaredy-cat overall so it may be different for you. But if you wish to be sucked into a endless loop of scares, lore and creepy sounds go for it.

↠ Although it was overall good. I was overwhelmed sometimes by jumpscares or atmosphere so much that I forgot to think clearly and got stuck in a couple of places for some minutes. So just a warning that if you have issues with focus or paying attention to one thing at a time - this may not be for you.

I’ve never written a review before, but this game feels like it deserves a few words.

In Layers of Fear, you step into the shoes of a painter trying to complete his magnum opus or his “great work.”

As you move through the game, you slowly begin to understand his descent into madness. I won’t say more about the story. It’s something you should experience for yourself.

What I will share is a personal realization this game left me with.

As an aspiring artist, a writer and a painter, I found something unsettlingly familiar in it. We often talk about the sacrifices required to create something meaningful, but we rarely stop to consider what that truly means.

In trying to create something "perfect", we find ourselves pushing our own sanity in isolation. We sacrifice time with the people we love, only to sit and stare at that same creator’s block we’ve faced so many times before.

To me, the game doesn’t just portray madness. It reflects something far more personal: the obsession with perfection and the inability to achieve it. The feeling that what you’re making will never be enough, no matter how much of yourself you pour into it.

At some point, it felt too familiar. And it stopped feeling like horror.

非常糟糕的游戏，甚至不能被称作是游戏。毫无游戏性，就是不停的在基本千篇一律的走廊和房间不停前进和原地旋转，再用穷举法尝试开门继续重复前面的步骤。在这个过程中只有零星的剧情，所有的氛围感和对场景的好奇在连续走完几十个没有信息量的房间之后所剩无几只剩乏味和厌倦，时常都是由没有涵养的不断奔走凑出来的，步行模拟也不是这样的步行模拟啊喂。开门开柜子开抽屉手感真的是一坨，还有墙上英文的中文翻译居然要凑近把准心对准才能显示，还没对准看到翻译就自动过场。提示和引导几乎没有，游戏性就是开柜子门和穷举，浪费两个多小时。就开头十几分钟在房间里探索是好玩的，到后面就是无尽的赶路。晕3d神器，即使原先不晕的原地转个几圈后晕。没有手动存档，只有一整章的大存档
