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. Featuring the original Layers of Fear, Layers of Fear 2, as well as all DLC’s (including a new chapter entitled “The Final Note” that provides an alternate perspective on the first game’s storyline), Layers of Fear will also introduce the never-before-told story of The Writer, a harrowing tale that ties each entry in the series together.

Built on Unreal Engine 5, Layers of Fear (2023) supports Ray Tracing, HDR and 4K resolution, making use of the Lumen system to achieve superb graphical fidelity and create a meticulously-refined horror journey that’s as immersive as it is frightening.

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.

To celebrate the upcoming release, Bloober Team and Anshar Studios have announced that a PC demo of Layers of Fear (2023) will be available on Steam starting from May 15th at 8 AM PT until May 22nd at 3 PM PT.
