Layers of Fear (2016) is a first-person psychological horror game that immerses players in the mind of a disturbed painter obsessed with completing his masterpiece. Set inside a constantly shifting Victorian mansion, the game focuses on exploration and storytelling rather than combat. As players move through the house, the environment changes unexpectedly—walls transform, corridors stretch, and terrifying visions appear without warning.
The narrative unfolds through letters, whispers, and environmental details that reveal the artist’s tragic past and descent into madness. The game masterfully uses lighting, sound design, and visual distortions to create tension and fear. Each chapter dives deeper into psychological themes, blurring the line between reality and hallucination.
The haunting orchestral soundtrack enhances the unsettling atmosphere. With multiple endings based on subtle choices and exploration, the game encourages replayability. Layers of Fear delivers a deeply immersive horror experience centered on art, obsession, and psychological breakdown.
