Description

The acclaimed sequel that redefined the award-winning series. Climb aboard a mysterious ocean liner as you step into the shoes of an actor called to perform under strange circumstances by a director with unsettling intentions.

Echoes of past performances twist into distorted memories, props become threats, and the line between stage and self begins to collapse. With every step, you’re pushed to achieve the director’s cryptic demands – and answer the question of what you’re willing to sacrifice for the perfect role.

Created by the modern masters of horror at Bloober Team, Layers of Fear 2 is a feast of cinematic storytelling amidst shifting, nightmarish environments.

Game Features:

  • Story-driven Exploration – Explore the world around you in order to uncover your past and reveal the hidden reasons why you were chosen for this role.

  • Psychological Horror – Is this part of the film, or are your memories playing tricks on you? The world may change in an instant and only you can decide what's real and what's not.

  • Unique Ocean Liner Setting – As you descend into the depths of the ship, the scenes you shoot for the film grow ever more surreal, and ever more terrifying.

  • Classical Ominous Soundtrack – An original score composed by Arkadiusz Reikowski, conducted by George Strezov, and performed by the Sofia Session Orchestra.

I really liked Layers Of Fear. This one not so much. It looks great and runs well, but that's about the only good thing i have to say about it... I encountered a lot of bugs, and in my opinion the story isn't very

If you loved the first game you might get disapointed. The ambient is a big plus but the game does not deliver fear in the layers. I'd say I felt more like I was in a walking simulator in a David Lynch movie (wich isn't

Layers of Fear 2 is primarily a horror walking simulator. The experience mostly takes place in very linear environments that often feel like long corridors, with only a few simple and fairly limited puzzles. Where the
