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 22 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,513 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.

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.

Всю игру тупо идешь прямо, сюжет калл, скримеры очень слабые, из плюсов норм графика.
恐怖指数在我心中保底排T0.5，有寂静岭PT的感觉，氛围处理的很好，画面很有艺术感，地图小而精致，但是会有比较多一惊一乍的突然的惊吓，至少在我游玩的过程中出现了多次突脸，建议游玩本体后游玩DLC，本体是画家父亲视角，DLC会从孩子视角出发，推荐。 Horror Rating: At least T0.5 in my book—it gives off serious Silent Hill P.T. vibes. The atmosphere is handled really well, the visuals have a strong artistic feel, and the map is compact yet meticulously crafted. That said, there are quite a few abrupt jump scares; during my playthrough, I had enemies pop up right in my face multiple times. I'd recommend playing the base game first before jumping into the DLC. The main campaign is told from the father's perspective (who's a painter), while the DLC shifts to the child's point of view. Highly recommended!
Игра проходится довольно быстро. Первые 2–3 часа она отлично держала в напряжении: атмосфера была очень мрачной и цепляющей, постоянно ощущалось чувство тревоги и неизвестности. Со временем я привыкла к этой обстановке, поэтому страшно уже не было так сильно. Иногда было непонятно, что нужно делать дальше, но для подобных игр это вполне нормально. В целом впечатления остались очень положительные, я не пожалела, что прошла её.
This game is like walking through the haunted house you would do during Halloween. Can be spooky at times.
没有惊悚刺激的追逐，但是会给你带来毛骨悚然的体验。这款游戏从一个画家的视角出发，用各种看似怪诞的画作中展现他的内心世界。也用他或他身边人的书信日记以及他的呓语讲述了一个悲惨的故事。你大可以用这款游戏消磨一个无聊的周末
Гра як на мене дуже посередня, непогано як для "інді страшилки" але не знаю чи варто приділяти увагу таким іграм, нічого дійсно унікального чи вартого аби цю гру виділити якось поміж хоррор ігор фактично немає (єдине це те що може бути погане самопочуття після постійних змін кімнат після прогортання мишею, але це все що я можу виділити). Затянуті у пізніших главах скрімери як на мене недоречні, звук і графіка навіть і зараз непогана що дійсно плюс. У цілому гру можна зіграти коли є дуже добра знижка і ти щось про неї чув, але нічого нового ти тут не знайдеш, якщо ти хоча-б раз заходив у itch.io чи просто грав класичні 2-3 гри жанру "хоррор на юніті"
Layers of Fear is a very good game. Even if I am no horror player (a total noob in this genre) I've genuinely enjoyed it. The game could be a bit longer, however it is meant to be played multiple times, because I don't really think you can see and find everything in one playthrough. One thing I've very much liked is the way the game scares you - not only cheap jumpscares (although they are also present) but also the general creepy, unnerving atmosphere. That being said, the ending was a bit disappointing for me. Nevertheless, it is worth giving a try. Also, the music is beautiful - I like the menu theme very much.
