Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.14/day in the week to Aug 25 → 3.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
The legendary game where it all started. Kickstarting an award-winning series in style, Layers of Fear plunges you into a tale of madness and artistic compulsion as you take on the role of The Painter determined to complete his magnum opus at all costs.
As you roam the painter’s decaying home, the world warps to reflect his crumbling sanity. Memories blur into sinister visions, rooms twist into nightmares, and each discovery draws you closer to the truth behind his masterpiece – and the obsession that destroyed him.
Created by the modern-day masters of horror – Bloober Team – the original Layers of Fear is renowned for this immersive and tense atmosphere. Prepare for a haunting journey into the depths of the human psyche.
Psychedelic Horror – The unstable environment reacts to your fragile state of mind, reshaping itself when you look away.
Victorian Setting – Explore a game world inspired by iconic paintings, architecture and décor from the 19th century.
Original and Classic Art – Numerous pieces of original art and music flesh out the game’s storyline and its richly-detailed locations.

Jogo incrível, um dos melhores terrores psicológicos que já joguei, mecânicas insanas de locais que se alteram, recomendo demais!!!
Mega dobra gra
This game is a walking simulator "horror" game. It's not a scary one, just some screamers and loud noise. The story is great, the plot is okay. However, the DA is interesting; you should try it even if it seems boring because you always walk. Moreover, I like the soundtrack. Try it when the game is on sale.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 14: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

игра имба для тех кто любит пощикатать нервишки
10/10 will ♥♥♥♥ pants again not to forget to mention music is very nice
É uma experiencia de terror diferente de terror convencional, e sendo muito terror psicologico, e a história é otima, e não força a história ser longa, é curta e fluida. Em parte jogabilidade, não é complexa e mais puzzle, mas tranquilos. Em parte de bugs, tem, mas é muito pouco, no final do jogo principal, aconteceu de camera ficar puxando muito para o lado, mas voltando para o menu de pausa, voltava normal, mas acontecia de novo, e na DLC, só aconteceu um, deu o flash branca, mas não carregou a memoria, e não conseguir me mover, mas recarregando, voltou normal, e a memoria carregou normal. Eu gostei muito de Layers of Fear, é uma otima experiencia, e eu gosto muito da Bloober Team, RECOMENDO MUITO!!!
เกมดีนะครับเนื้อเรื่องเข้าใจงง่ายมาก
game has no narrative never tells u what ur supposed to be doing so u wander around bored and eventually quit.. not worth the money
有好几个场景设计的好艺术,真的太喜欢了,游戏场景的转换也特别精彩,很有沉浸感,第一次自己上手玩恐怖游戏感觉体验不错,还好没有追逐战。
