Layers of Fear: Masterpiece Edition includes both Layers of Fear and the Inheritance DLC in a single, horror-filled package. Layers of Fear is a first-person psychedelic horror game with a heavy focus on story and exploration. Delve deep into the mind of an insane painter and discover the secret of his madness, as you walk through a vast and constantly changing Victorian-era mansion. Uncover the visions, fears, and horrors that entwine the painter and finish the masterpiece he has striven so long to create. Layers of Fear: Inheritance expands the plot from Layers of Fear and tells the story of the painter's daughter, who comes 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.

Interesting Experience

Creepy atmosphere, intriguing story, and some good jump scares, but it is a walking simulator at heart and at no point did I ever really feel like my character was in danger. It makes the game feel less impactful and you come to expect the scares rather than fear them. The controls are weird but actually work pretty well. Nothing super special, but still worth a rent imo. Its pretty short anyway even with the included DLC.

Absolutely TERRIBLE game!

After an hour of just walking around and opening doors and drawers, I sent this game back. I have absolutely no idea what the story or the premise of this game is and it's certainly not scary! It definitely is just a "walking simulator".

confusing

i heard all the reviews people had about this game. What's the point in this game and what's the concept of this game. it's a good game, but for someone who's never played this game before, it's kind of confusing on not knowing where to go and what to do (unless they have a tutorial).
