Bloober Team has just released a brand new trailer for the latest entry in the Layers of Fear series titled simply Layers of Fear. In the game, players must enter a lone and ghastly lighthouse and discover a never-told-before tale that ties the whole series together.
Layers of Fear (2023) is the crowning work of the Layers series that features 2016’s Layers of Fear, along with its expansion Inheritance and the later sequel Layers of Fear 2. In the upcoming game, players will experience new game mechanics, new scares, and a new chapter titled “The Final Note” that expands on the story of the original Layers of Fear through the perspective of the antagonist, the Painter’s wife.
Per the game’s Steam page:
All stories must come to an end, even twisted and eerie ones. The canvas awaits its final brushstrokes. The stage calls for its lead actor. The novel needs its final chapter. It’s time to face your fears. One. Last. Time.
The series that defined narrative-focused first-person psychological horror is back to tell its last spine-chilling story with Layers of Fear. The series’ crowning work is the definitive way to experience the critically acclaimed franchise as it features Layers of Fear and Layers of Fear 2, as well as all downloadable content (including the new downloadable content “The Final Note” that will give you a new perspective on the Layers of Fear storyline) and the never-before-told story of The Writer, which will tie everything together.
