Review Layers of Fear (PS5) - A Collection That Brilliantly Reframes the Series
A new coat of paint
Bloober Team has had a time of it when it comes to making games. The original Layers of Fear was a resounding success upon launch back in 2016. However, that success has been much more elusive in the following years, what with Blair Witch, Observer, and even Layers of Fear 2 receiving mixed responses. So why not return to that...

News Layers of Fear Is Bringing Its Painterly Horrors to PSVR Later This Month
Another layer of fear
It's a pretty well established fact that horror games and virtual reality are a match made in spooky heaven.

Child's slay
We liked psychological walking sim Layers of Fear, so we're up for a few more hours poking around the protagonist's painterly house from the viewpoint of his daughter. Perspective was the key theme in this game, so it should be interesting to see how the eyes of a child twist and contort things even more. The expansion's out on 2nd...
News Layers of Fear Paints a Not So Pretty Picture on PS4
What of Art? It is a malady
Oscar Wilde's iconic The Picture of Dorian Gray appears to have served as one of the key inspirations behind Layers of Fear, a forthcoming horror game from, well, Bloober Team. It's true that the Polish outfit doesn't exactly have the best track record on the PlayStation 4, but it's talking a good game here: its...
About The Game
You take another drink as the canvas looms in front of you. A light flickers dimly in the corner. You've created countless pieces of art, but never anything like…this. Why haven't you done this before? It seems so obvious in retrospect. Your friends, critics, business partners—soon, they'll all see. But something's still missing…
You look up, startled. That melody… Was that a piano? It sounded just like her… But, no—that would be impossible. She's gone. They're all gone.
Have to focus. How long has it taken to get to this point? Too long, but it doesn't matter. There will be no more distractions. It's almost finished. You can feel it. Your creation. Your Magnum Opus.
Dare you help paint a true Masterpiece of Fear? Layers of Fear is a first-person psychedelic horror game with a heavy focus on story and exploration. Delve deep into the mind of an insane painter and discover the secret of his madness, as you walk through a vast and constantly changing Victorian-era mansion. Uncover the visions, fears and horrors that entwine the painter and finish the masterpiece he has strived so long to create.
