It freaking too deep for me.
Layers of fear is made by a developer that pretty well known for creating unsettling atmosphere games. I played several games made by them so Im aware on what kind of experience expected here.
The game is started on a ship interior. Since it is empty, you pretty much explore the surrounding until you found a small theater. Interacting with the projector & movie film, it will bring straight to each chapters story. It seem like it tell a different story in each chapters, which each have their own theme. There isnt much to say aside you walking from one room to another room, usually follow with room warping around weirdly. There is small section of puzzles but mostly too easy.
My problem with this game is the story is really hard to understand. I had to read some story synopsis to get it. Even with lore told in interactable, there isnt much "story" to read aside from random weird object or pictures. The whole jumpscares isnt scary at all, and most of the instant death is just a small gimmick that punish for you not understanding on what to do. I mostly got bored walking around (thankfully i had 2nd monitor so i can watching something else) while the game giving random babbling talking about story that i dont care.
Just ignore this games. Many reviews said it worse than 1st game and I agree. I played many walking simulator and this probably one of the dull & boring with nothing to learn about.
