Layers of Fear Review
Layers of Fear Review
Layers of Fear is an indie psychological horror and atmospheric video game. The game has just released and it received overwhelmingly positive reviews from players and critics all around the world. You play as painter who explore the constantly changing mansion to finish his masterpiece. There is just one instruction for you on how to finish your painting which is “Finish It”, And for the rest, you have to explore the mansion to look for answers and find for yourself.
As you explore the mansion you come know that your past contains secrets such as insanity and alcoholism. You found some texts written on the walls of mansion that builds the backstory for you. It’s up to you how you fill the blanks for yourself and see what kind of monster are you?
Apart from horror and exploration the game also has puzzles for you that can easily be completed when you explore your environment for clues. You can click and drag items, open containers & doors, and open different drawers and chests in the game but some time this will frustrate you as the doors will shut before you accidentally.
The game does its best to put you in shock with its creepy environment such as doors vanish, scenery rearranges itself and the mansion constantly changing, all these things will create an atmosphere of horror and shock. All this is not made as a puzzle, there is always a door or direction for you to go, instead this creates mistrust in your mind that each and every door is different and will lead to something horrific and also tells you that even you are behind your mouse and keyboard is not the one in control of the game.
All this increases the tension and horror in the atmosphere, at first it really builds the base but after sometime as you have progressed in the game and completed parts of your masterpiece you will definitely going to enjoy everything that game offers such as when the lights go out and you wait for something bad to happen or when the game traps you in a room just to give you slight scare play.
Layers of Fear really pull you into the game, makes you to explore and find the chunks of story and then fill the blanks for yourself. The game has amazing yet creepy moments with horror and tense atmosphere. You will find the monster in you and the game lets you uncover your secrets.
