About Layers of Fear

Layers of Fear is an adventure and indie game developed and published by Bloober Team, released on 16 February 2016.

Layers of Fear is a psychedelic horror that will keep you on-edge for the reminder of the game. Delve deep into the mind of an insane painter and discover the secret of his madness, as you walk through a constantly shifting house. Heavily inspired by the masterpiece paintings from the past centuries, and the architecture and décor from the XIX century. Layers of Fear is a truly unique experience, where each move of the camera can change your surroundings. Layer by layer uncover the visions, fears and horrors that entwine the protagonist and finish the masterpiece he has strived so long to create.

Set in the years after World War I, the story follows a troubled painter who returns to his eerie Victorian mansion determined to complete his magnum opus. As he wanders the ever-shifting halls in search of the materials he needs, the house warps and rearranges around him, defying spatial logic and dredging up fragments of his past. Piece by piece, letters, objects, and haunting flashbacks reveal the tragedy that befell his wife and family and the toll it has taken on his fracturing mind.
