Layers Of Fear is a first-person psychedelic horror chronicle focused on tense exploration and immersive storytelling.

Face spine-chilling madness that extends over generations. Live through indescribable terrors as artists obsessed with their crafts beyond reason and sanity.

Layers Of Fear is a first-person psychedelic horror chronicle focused on tense exploration and immersive storytelling - a new game built upon the foundations of Layers Of Fear, LOF: Inheritance and Layers Of Fear 2 with a surprising new story and gameplay direction.

Created with the cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5 technology, the game will support Ray Tracing, HDR effect, 4K resolution, and make use of the Lumen system to offer the most immersive and visceral horror experience.

Layers Of Fear will be the complete, definitive and at the same time unpredictable way to discover the stories of artists enslaved by their obsessions. Prepare for an exquisite horror experience thanks to the expanded plot lines that will cast a new light on the overarching narrative.


Bloober Team and Anshar Studios are thrilled to share an extended look into “The Final Note”, one of the completely new storylines they have created exclusively for Layers of Fears.

Layers of Fears aims to unify and deepen the overarching stories connecting Layers of Fear and Layers of Fear 2, whilst also expanding on the story fans have come to know and love with original new chapters.

The previous trailer, unveiled during Summer Game Fest, took a look back and teased how Layers of Fears will offer a new and intriguing take on the original game’s story. This new trailer, however, is all about looking ahead and focusing on what’s new.

Bloober Team is excited to reveal that The Final Note focuses on a character that fans of the series have long waited to know more about. That’s right, this new chapter will allow players to take control of the Painter’s Wife, a devastated musician who’s side of the story we are yet to hear in its entirety, providing a new perspective behind the family’s tragedy.

But that’s not all, those with keen eyes might have been able to spot an enigmatic lighthouse at the end of the trailer. This is a brief tease of a new location that will help link together the stories of the first and second games, diving deeper into how these seemingly separate events are in fact intertwined, sharing a canvas in the masterpiece that is the Layers of Fear universe.
