This game was an effective, creepy experience. Walking down the dark hallways of the place you explore in this game. The atmosphere is amazing. It was pretty good.

This game is truly a masterpiece and it might be the scariest horror game i've ever played. It's like a 3 hours lasting chase through hell because you are scared all the time you're playing it. The atmosphere is fantastic, the jumpscares are really good and you always get a heart attack when they appear. It's sooo much better than other AAA horror games like Outlast or Until Dawn. Layers Of Fear is definitely one of the best horror games you can play if you want to have fear and goosbumps!

One of the best horror games I played. The story is so thrilling and you never know what to expect!

LAYERS OF FEAR (2016) was a very cool game, one I was not expecting to enjoy as much as I did. It was a very unique experience, unlike many other horror games I've played in the past. It took a fresh approach to some old, overwrought themes, creating its own style. It was certainly scary but in a mysterious way, blending elements of psychological and paranormal.

Without delving into spoiler territory, I shall say this, Layers of Fear is more of a narrative driven game. It is more like a walking simulator than the usual run-of-the-mill horror video game, but highly visual and artistic, and as the game progresses you get a growing sense of unease and a dark story to warily unravel. While the mechanics are fairly simple, the horror elements come more from a disorienting sense of an ever-changing environment, of madness, psychedelic hallucinations and claustrophobia. The house literally can change every time you turn around, walls shifting and moving, things appearing and rearranging, and the environment grows increasingly darker, stranger and wilder.

Some people may claim it's not scary, well no, not in the traditional, typic sense of the horror genre. It's not your every day zombie shooter, slasher, or haunted house game and does not reply heavily on jump-scares, but psychological suspense and subtly. While there are some jump scares, they usually are spread out and tastefully done, and generally not when expected or not how you're are expecting.

There is a certain brand of creepiness to be found and appreciated in suspense, surrealism, unpredictability, disorientation, delusions, hallucinations, claustrophobia, powerlessness and ultimately madness. I think the fact that this game allows for a bit of a slow buildup helps carry along that tension as well, although some impatient people looking that typical horror genre swill, (nothing wrong with that) will find themselves bored with this, perhaps fairly early on.

All I can say is that I enjoyed it. It gives a refreshing edge to the worn out horror genre. I felt that it was a decent, albeit disturbing change of pace from the usual stuff. I bought the second game soon after playing, though have yet to play it. I would recommend it to fans of horror/suspense genre but just be expecting something different.

Idk why this get hate this is the creepiest horror game to exist don't look at the hate I bought it for 20 and it's so good I was sad when it ended.

This game is scary if you never ever played a scary game in your life. Graphics are amazing and game play pretty good. Puzzles are too easy, when I mean easy, I mean A kindergarten can figure it out. Short Confusing Game!

I bought this hoping it would be anything like Visage or Infliction but oh how disappointed I was. The scares are only visual and don't inflict any true horror to the player. The puzzles are way to easy, story is cliché and weak, and the game is just filled with filler rooms that fill no function. The audio is good and provides tension, and there are a few jumpscares that get you good but eventually even those feel stale. Those who say this is the scariest game ever cannot have played any horror games, or at least very few. I've played plenty and this is like a kid version of the horror games i was hoping it would be like. Wasted money IMO.

Probably one of the least scary video game i've played. The story is somewhat interesting but not enough to recommend this game.
