![]() Although it has a lot to offer in the first couple of hours, playing through the entire game can sometimes feel like a drag, leaving me hoping that more horror-focused experiences come to the Switch in the upcoming months. It has incredible narrative content, but lacks in the one task it had: to leave a scaring impression on the player. Despite the fact that all these issues could easily be fixed through a patch, it is worth a notice when the game’s price tag is taken into consideration.įor about $25 CAD, players are getting roughly ten hours of content. ![]() While problems are rather rare, players can expect a multitude of errors ranging from frame rate stutters to game breaking bugs. Layers of Fear’s horror experience is occasionally made even scarier by the game’s lackluster performance. For the first hour or so of my journey, I was rather scared by the game’s impressive audio and visual capabilities, but after facing the same jump scares and the same sound effects, I quickly knew what to expect. Because the game does not have a monster as is seen in many games within the genre, Layers of Fear relies purely on sound and visuals in order to terrify the player. Regardless of having an intriguing experience, to truly be considered a great horror game, Layers of Fear needed to deliver pure fear, and it does so, but not refreshingly enough. A feeling that is continuously kept until the end of this five to eight hour journey. Although it sounds rather cliché when summarized in one sentence, Layers of Fear’s narrative is coupled with a certain mystery that leaves the player wondering what the next narrative clue is. ![]() Layers of Fear follows one unique narrative premise: you’re an artist reliving memories of your family.
