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. Your Magnum Opus.ĭare 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. Like prior Layers of Fear titles, Layers of Fears is a first-person horror title where players will explore tense.
How long has it taken to get to this point? Too long, but it doesn’t matter. Coming in 2023 is Bloober's biggest horror game yet, Layers of Fears. That melody… Was that a piano? It sounded just like her… But, no-that would be impossible. Your friends, critics, business partners-soon, they’ll all see. Why haven’t you done this before? It seems so obvious in retrospect. You’ve created countless pieces of art, but never anything like…this. It's £5.94 on Steam Early Access right now.You take another drink as the canvas looms in front of you. The developers plan to add more rooms and more terrifying trickery. The Early Access version ends rather abruptly but I'd have been perfectly happy if it were a release candidate. It's not particularly inventive and it's far from subtle, but it's beautifully put together and startlingly effective. Layers of Fear just goes straight for the jugular, using every trick in the book to put the frighteners into you. I expect Early Access horror games to lean on a gimmick and fall over when it fails to support their weight. Things lurking in the corner of your vision. It helps that the game is strikingly attractive, not just in the fidelity of its environments - although it wins the Ratatouille award for best foodstuffs I've ever seen in a game - but in the use of paintings to create a sense of dread. They're artfully crafted, relying on tension, creative direction and manipulation of line of sight. Partly that's because I'm prone to panicking when loud noises happen and partly it's because I like my horror to be a little more than bumps in the night.
As in the Silent Hill teaser, you'll spend a lot of time walking down corridors waiting for terrible things to happen. comparison relates to the jump scares and corridors. Remember how Gone Home felt like it might turn into a horror game? Layers of Fear is the horror game that never was, set within that familiar space as it becomes unfamiliar. No matter though because he himself is now bound and naked upon that altar. Other people, it seems, exist to be sacrificed on the altar of his greatness. He's so determined to create a masterpiece, after suffering a bout of creative block, that he thinks it's absolutely to treat everyone around him like crap. You play a painter and he's rather an obnoxious chap. It's an Early Access horror game that feels polished, complete and is so frightening that when I started playing last night, I had to wait until morning to play more. but worry not (or 'worry a great deal', I guess) because Layers of Fear is a splendid replacement. It's gone now, cast into the void of unbeing by Konami. The cancelled horror game was to combine the talents and imaginations of Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro, and its "playable teaser", P.T., caused a heck of a stir when it landed on PS4. You may have noticed that Metal Gear Solid V is happening today and, if you're anything like me, all of this Kojima talk might bring Silent Hills to mind.
