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.

You will learn the dark story of his past while gathering carefully crafted personal items that can be found in the game. Traverse the vision-induced, constantly shifting house full of supernatural phenomena, where each move of the camera can change the environment, and discover the true motive of the artist. The thick atmosphere will keep you on edge at all times, building the mood layer by layer.

Layers of Fear has been developed in Unity Engine, presenting an uncanny focus on detail and visual aesthetics. 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 on the market.

Layer by layer uncover the visions, fears and horrors that entwine the protagonist and finish the masterpiece he has strived so long to create.

Layers of Fear: Inheritance is a unique piece of DLC which expands the plot from Layers of Fear and tells the story of the painter’s daughter coming back to her childhood home to face her past. Can she forgive her father, or will she resent all that has happened? Relive her experiences and witness the full scope of the tragedy that has swallowed up the family.

Players will lead the daughter through what’s left of the mansion and take part in the madness that her father bestowed upon the whole family. Face the memories of her past and shape them into the destiny that awaits her.

"Layers of Fear: Inheritance is the culmination of our artistic vision for a game that is focused on fine art. It’s also a culmination of the plot, presented in a new perspective. Finally, it’s the culmination of our hard work. The development of the DLC was extremely enjoyable – we had a lot of fun developing Inheritance and we hope that players will be equally satisfied with the experiences of uncovering another layer of this story," said Bloober Team Project Lead Szymon Erdmański.

Features include:

  • A completely new narrative experience that expands the story of Layers of Fear
  • Explore the painter’s house from his daughter’s perspective
  • Two distinct endings based on how you play the game
  • A return to the terrifying and psychedelic experience players loved from the base game

Layers of Fear: Inheritance launches on Aug. 2, 2016 for Steam (PC, Mac, SteamOS/Linux), Xbox One, and PS4 for $4.99. Also available at launch is Layers of Fear: Masterpiece Edition, which includes both Layers of Fear and the Inheritance DLC in a single, horror-filled package.

Key Features:

  • A psychedelic horror game where each turn of the camera may change the look of your surroundings.
  • Deep insight into the madness that entwines a human being.
  • Inspired by the masterpiece paintings from the past centuries, and the architecture and décor from the XIX century.
