    Fantastic in VR.

    By oc_ta_vi_an | Review Date: Jun 07, 2023 | OQ

    I played Layers of Fears back in 2015 and I really liked it, but I must say playing it in VR is insane. You are really there, you are really interacting with objects and the music is really spooky, spookier than I remem... Read Full Review

    Less of a game. More like a stroll through a haunted mansion.

    By ILuvAnju | Review Date: Nov 05, 2019 | NS

    The Good:- The sounds suited the atmosphere- the visual effects were creepy most of the time. But negated by your character's invincibility.- the narrative around the paintings were cool-----The Bad:- you're character is... Read Full Review

    Layers of Fear is a great game. One that is genuinely creepy and has a great story to explore. Most of it’s negative quirks are not huge and the positives outweigh it. The graphics are overall well done. The light... Read Full Review

    Makes you go crazy but end destroys it all

    By faretrade4 | Review Date: Aug 08, 2017 | XONE

    Its in the horror code, the ending is either a cliffhanger to a sequel coming or a ending that explains everything that just happened. I went into this game not knowing anything. I was scared the s--t out of in the begin... Read Full Review

    A chillingly beautiful experience, albeit lacking in plot and playability

    By shanethewolf | Review Date: Feb 17, 2016 | PS4

    If you're a big believer that playability is everything and you remain unimpressed by groundbreaking graphics, then this is not for you. To be honest, it's not really a game. It's more of an explorable environment. There... Read Full Review
