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.
Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
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.

优秀的游戏,恐惧层层加码。爱也在慢慢升华
好玩
恐怖与艺术的结合,表现力十分不错 心理恐怖也是不同于视觉恐怖的一种优秀的表现方式 哪怕是将近十年前的作品,现在品尝依旧十分有味
太震撼了,刚开局懵懵懂懂的还在操作。玩到后面,每一个细节,每一个场景都特别震撼,太美了,又恐怖又怪异 刚看商品展示的时候没什么感觉,毕竟我不太喜欢美术素材的恐怖题材,可他这个给我一种很新奇,眼前一亮的感觉。我游玩时做的就是解谜,然后拍照 真的太太太太震撼了 很适合那些喜欢摄影的来玩
故事很精彩,也没有跳脸和追逐战,很适合胆子小的玩。里面少数场景比较眩晕。总之玩完以后会让人主动去看剧情解说,我还准备去看一下那本书。玩法和艾迪芬森的记忆差不多。
Eu terminei recentemente e digo que esse jogo é incrível, a arte, a ambientação. O jogo te dá sustos nos momentos certos, são pelo som ou pelo impacto do que você passa durante a gameplay. Não é preciso ter tantos jumpscares, pois pela história de um pintor insano, que destrói a si mesmo e a todos que ama. É realmente assustador, o jogo não é muito difícil ou assustador, mas só pela história e por tudo que ele te faz sentir que ele é incrível e bizarro. Eu amei esse jogo e indico que joguem unicamente pela experiência que ele te entrega.
