  • Layers of Fear is Free Through the Humble Store

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]21217[/ATTACH]
    The fantastic Layers of Fear can be yours, for free, through the Humble Store. The 2016 horror game developed by Bloober Team is available alongside the game's soundtrack, also available for free.

    You have just under two days to "purchase" the free Layers of Fear and soundtrack through the Humble Store. Once "purchased" the Humble Store will provide to you a Steam key for the game that will allow you to play it on Windows, Mac, and Linux. If you have all three of those operating systems, it's almost as if you're getting three games for free.
    You take another drink as the canvas looms in front of you. A light flickers dimly in the corner. You’ve created countless pieces of art, but never anything like…this. Why haven’t you done this before? It seems so obvious in retrospect. Your friends, critics, business partners—soon, they’ll all see. But something’s still missing…

    You look up, startled. That melody… Was that a piano? It sounded just like her… But, no—that would be impossible. She’s gone. They’re all gone.
    Have to focus. How long has it taken to get to this point? Too long, but it doesn’t matter. There will be no more distractions. It’s almost finished. You can feel it. Your creation. Your Magnum Opus.

    Dare you help paint a true Masterpiece of Fear? Layers of Fear is a first-person psychedelic horror game with a heavy focus on story and exploration. Delve deep into the mind of an insane painter and discover the secret of his madness, as you walk through a vast and constantly changing Victorian-era mansion. Uncover the visions, fears and horrors that entwine the painter and finish the masterpiece he has strived so long to create.

    Game Features:
    Psychedelic horror – A sense of insanity means each turn of the camera may completely change the look of your surroundings.
    Victorian setting – Explore a game world inspired by masterpiece paintings, architecture and décor from the 19th century.
    Original and classic art – Numerous pieces of original art and music flesh out the story and environment.
    Story-focused exploration – Only through exploring the environment can you uncover the details of the painter’s dark and tragic past.

    Soundtrack Features:
    Composer Arkadiusz Reikowski, whose soundtracks perfectly manifest terror and fear, created the Layers of Fear soundtrack with two distinct parts: First the lyrical element, which represents the Painter’s wife, and second the dark, eerie, tones which capture the feeling of a mind slowly slipping toward insanity.

    In addition to his composition for Layers of Fear, Arkadiusz is well known for his work with renowned Silent Hill singer Mary E. McGlynn on the title Kholat, and for his long time collaboration with Akira Yamaoka.

    Layers of Fear is also available for the PlayStation 4 and the Xbhox One. However, these two versions are not able to be "purchased" for free. A Switch version is coming soon and will include the rather lackluster Inheritance DLC with it. If you want more from the Bloober Team, you may also be interested in checking out Observer, a cyberpunk horror game that came out just a few months back.
