These New Layers Of Fear Screenshots Might Keep You Awake At Night

It's always interesting to see games that look into psychological issues and I'm 100% behind spreading awareness. Looks like it could be a pretty cool game.

@Danpal65 I understand what you mean, but I don't think you will find that Layers of Fear is approaching mental illness as a serious subject.
In my personal opinion, all it does is to use the premise of madness and hallucination to take you on a "haunted house" carnival ride. With limited interactivity and seemingly no consequence to your actions, I was very disappointed by the game, but have also read many opinions of people that liked it.

@Mr_Horizon Oh. That's a little disappointing. Might still have a look and see what it does anyways. Thanks

Looking forward to this one, although I have been burnt by the horror offerings released so far, mainly because they are shoddy bugged ports by devs. Don’t knock twice dev Wales interactive have another game coming which I was interested in until I saw they were involved. It’s sad as the dkt game is still buggy as hell and your character slides to the left or forward without me even controlling! And as we all know immersion is the best trait a horror can have, but bugs like these break the game. Hope this is different, as the other guy mentioned I have had friends say they hated this game but others saying they liked it...either way I will take the chance on it as it’s one my fav genre.

To me, the problem with this game was that it tries to have so many scares, that none work. There's no build-up, no "quiet... TOO quiet" feeling. Early on it got predictable, and that's a bad thing in the genre, unless you're looking for a trip rather than an atmospheric horror game. Still an interesting "walking simulator" trippy trip.

What's so scary? Just looks like someone playing Splatoon.

Decent game, bossed it on PS4 couple years back. Won't double dip but good to see it on switch

@Mr_Horizon
Totally get where you're coming from. Also it's rather short. I enjoyed it for what it was...but this ain't Bioshock. I got it for free with xbox gold...I wouldnt pay for it unless you really enjoy point and click. I know, it probably isnt a true point and click. ..pretty close though imo.

All the same, for the few hours that it took me to complete I had a good time.

Played and reviewed it on the Mac when it came out. Very creepy and good for some effective jump scares, but the complaints above are pretty accurate. View it as a quick, creepy, carnival ride down a whole lot of hallways—play it with the lights off and a few friends around you—and you'll have a good time.

As a fellow painter myself, this game really resonates with me, and sure, if you don't understand what's going on, you would probably pass this off as a haunted house simulator. That's not the case, however. Every prop and every set piece was used for the sake of the story going on. It all comes together at the end, and if you've interpreted everything the way the game intended, the underlying tale is one of sadness. And alcoholism. Such a great game for what it is.

Such a cool looking game - played it on PS4 got stuck and gave up lol

Thats so very good graphics right there.
