“misses the scary mark” ya I totally wasn’t scared watching people stream it…. Also a cool thing to note about this game was the development strategy, they released Early Access a long time ago but only revealed part of the plot, when it was fully released most people had already heard the name so they were more likely to play it.

Horror games thrive on the immersive soundscape. You miss that, and you miss the “scary mark” like Johnny mentioned. Juggernauts like Dead Space 1, Silent Hill 2, F.E.A.R., all have audio cues and sound effects that are very immersive and truly scary at times. They bring you in, and hold on tight to your attention. In this, some of the “scares” were eyerolls, ruining the immersive moments.

The review was right on the mark (pun intended), and hopefully Bloober looks past the explosive popularity of Layers Of Fear, learns from the mistakes. Looking forward to that day!

Great review Johnny, probably won’t get it until it’s on sale though, I want a true jump scare game.

Hmm interesting review regarding how lackluster the game is in the scary factor. I agree how it misses the mark in being scary and how you can see the jump scare coming. I’ve seen gameplay from the hero network streamers and found the story at least equally interesting. The effects were nice to help scare me, but I was quickly desensitized as the game went on. Thanks for the review.

I would rate the game the same as well. I think the jumpscares in the game are the kind that I’d fall off my chair to because of how sudden they are but then they start getting slightly predictable. It seems inspired by PT, since the graphics look similar, in my opinion. 7/10 would play again. Great review, by the way!!
