Appearing on the GDC 2023 show floor in the same booth as Epic Games, Layers of Fear didn’t look all that scary surrounded by the hustle and bustle of hundreds of professional nerds. But then a few developers from Bloober Team handed me a headset and I was immediately engrossed in this chilling, atmospheric psychological horror game. The team described Layers of Fear as one half reboot and one half remaster, settling on the word “reimagining” as the best way to sum up what is an upgraded compilation of both the first Layers of Fear, Layers of Fear 2, all existing DLC for both games, and several pieces of new content all made in Unreal Engine 5. It is, in essence, the magnum opus for the series. To be specific, Layers of Fear adds a new DLC chapter called The Final Note that provides the supplementary perspective of the wife to the events that happened in the original game. It will also provide another story for The Writer that will tie the storylines of the first two games together. For fans keeping score, this means it will include the story of The Painter from the first Layers of Fear, The Painter’s Daughter in the Inheritance DLC, The Painter’s Wife in The Final Note, The Actor from Layers of Fear 2, and The Writer in the new “The Lighthouse” chapter. So, if anything, this compilation looks like a solid deal with all the content it’s packing.
