About Layers of Fear

Layers of Fear serves as the crowning, final chapter for a series that has left a lasting mark on narrative-driven first-person psychological horror. This definitive edition brings together Layers of Fear and Layers of Fear 2 along with all their DLCs, including the new 'The Final Note' add-on that offers a fresh perspective on the storyline, plus the never-before-told story of The Writer, which ties everything together. Rebuilt on Unreal Engine 5 with support for Ray Tracing, HDR and 4K resolution, it aims to make its stunning visuals and nightmarish atmosphere as immersive and realistic as possible.

One strand casts you as The Painter, exploring a Victorian mansion draped in artwork while his sanity crumbles like old oil paint cracking on canvas. You trawl the ever-shifting house in search of the supplies needed to complete your greatest masterpiece, all the while trying to outrun your past. The Inheritance DLC shifts the perspective to The Painter's Daughter, confronting the family's troubled history with the chilling notion that insanity runs in the bloodline. Together these threads make this adventure horror a comprehensive way to experience the acclaimed franchise on PC.
