It's just a jumpscares game
nothing else but a jumpscares game. weird plot and little more... graphic and atmosphere sound are really fantastic but the game is really forgettable. Gameplay too basic and boring...

Literally a slide show with transitions
I am four hours in, so this review is based on what I've seen so far. Unless things take a dramatic turn, though, which I don't expect them to, this review will stand. Note, I don't mention many specifics, but what follows is pretty spoiler-ish in that it could tint your lens (detrimentally) towards the game...so you might want to play it first, if you are definitely intending to. Once upon a time a game called MYTH blew people away with its gorgeous worlds, compelling puzzles, and intriguing storyline, but among the few but ardent detractors was the criticism that it was "just a slide show." In reality, it was about 20% slide show, 80% puzzle-solving, and, at the time, I dismissed the critics as being semi-mindless FPS nuts. (The FPS's at the time being basically just run-and-gun splatfests.) Layers of Fear, though, is literally 100% slide show, complete with intermittent transition effects. You basically go room to room, clicking on the same bookshelves and drawers, most of which do nothing but show you the same generic book spines, papers, and other minutiae, sometimes stumbling upon a scrap of paper with a bit of backstory on it. Every now and then you'll have an "episode," and something "spooky-ish" happens. There are also other subtle spooky-ish things that depend on you noticing them. As far as the fear component, the game would be better named Layers of Guilt, Layers of Obsessiveness, Layers of Masochism, etc. Something tragic happened in the seemingly somewhat OCD, and perhaps schizophrenic, character's past, and he is trying to resolve it. The process is not so much a frightening as tedius. Take away the incidental music and sound effects, and it would be wood panneling, woodpanneling, piece of furniture, wood panneling, transition effect... As far as the appearance, it's okay. Did I mention there's a lot of wood panneling? The visuals are certainly not enough to compensate for the limpid story or total lack of gameplay. Plus, it might be my setup, but movement is anything but smooth. I've played with all the settings, but haven't figured it out. This leaves some of the more dramatic slide transitions (dare I say moments?) underwhelming as I miss part of it awkwardly focused on the floor or a corner. Plus, opening drawers and doors (over and over and over) can be a pain in the butt. Oh, and another biff, though more minor, is that visually, and via clues and technology level, we would seem to be in turn of the 20th century, but any spoken or written script is solidly 21st century language, which kills the period aspect of it. At least the voice acting is alright for the most part. All in all, the atmosphere/mood/sensation/theme of the game reminds me very much of Sanitarium, but, in Sanitarium, you actually problem-solve, interact with meaningful characters, visit a diversity of dreamscapes, and identify wih the main character. ...and, in fact, now that I think about it, this team really missed an opportunity with having the player do painterly things...not exactly like Okami, but something like that, where brush strokes, and maybe obtaining and using certain paints or other materials, could reveal new clues, or even influence the story. With practically no interaction thusfar into the game, the best I can give is two stars. I thought I would like the 'sleepy' aspect of the game - I'm a person who likes movies in which 'nothing happens' (e.g. Lost in Translation and most Wes Anderson films), and I was partly influenced by other reveiws here (and the preview vids), but this is just too, too spare.

Dear Esther with some speckles of horror
A maybe-baby for the horror walking simulator genre. The game is good at presentation. The visuals look nice. The game directs you on a very linear path. It is about 4 hours long. It is more about creeping up to the story and as you progress you´re supposed to wonder as to what horror the playercharacter has done. If you want to find it interesting or engrossing, then you will. If you expect all the story told to you through cutscenes, then you´ll be missing about half of it. Though that part wasn´t all that engrossing either. The horror of it will be lacking for any veterans or lovers of the genre. Yet as a horror title it suceeds in really playing at the horror of a persons longing. Sure there are cliches and you´d really have to want to feel for the characters, yet the game did make me question the lenghts of longing that were hinted at for the character, the painter. How bad did his cliched longing for renown take him. Those some little questions did keep me on til the end, yet it wasn´t really worth it. The lacking gameplay and few puzzles don´t help. Also the turn mechanics were just awful. The bad. I went in expecting a horror game. Because the internet adobted it as a horror game. But a game in which you can not die. Where you have no place to hide. And where the first time you get grabbed and see that shacky nonsense and no death, then the game has lost all of its horror. What lingers is the question of the emotional painter. Yet the character was never developed. His emotional voice ranged from mean to sad and then whining behind the toilet and, in a house with like 30 bathrooms, whining to be let in. A 3 out 5 for the effort and not being broken and actually having some heart to try and be noted in a sea of saturation. Yet if you play the DLC, then the question of the child would be answered and the game would be a 2 out 5. I keep it at 3 because the game does include multiple endings and that multiple endings need praise.

Dark, Atmospheric, Scary, A Bit Broken
I actually enjoyed this game quite a bit. Yes, it's a so-called walking simulator, yes, there aren't really puzzles, yes, it's mostly wandering around experiencing things. The game's strengths are its deep, creepy atmosphere and its ability to surprise you with a surprisingly wide variety of scares. It's fairly short and some parts fall a bit flat, but for anyone who is able to immerse themselves without distraction and who likes to pick up clues to piece together a story, it's well worth playing. Normally, I'd give it four stars. Unfortunately, the game has a huge flaw: if you get the "loop" ending the first time you beat it, you will be unable to get either of the other two endings- EVER- by continuing from that save file. You need to start a new game, despite very misleading wording that makes it look like you can and should continue. The game does not make this clear, and I spent hours on forums trying to find out why I got the same ending a dozen times over- the developers of the game themselves dropped all kinds of hints as to how to get the endings (which work fine- on a NEW GAME), while neglecting to mention this absolutely vital piece of knowledge. A game centered around the same scares in the same rooms every time with only a few branching paths does not hold up well to a dozen playthroughs, and even three is kind of pushing it. That said, the first playthrough was surprisingly effective, not just in terms of being scary, but in creating a very specific mood and emotion. I see a lot of criticism here, but I can't think of any other recent game that was this effective at getting across subtleties- most of it feels very personal to you as the character, rather than being random spooky stuff. The Inheritance DLC is even better at this, and is essentially the game Among the Sleep, but done better. Both the main game and DLC have a few weak or tedious sequences, but taken as a whole, they're done very well and give an experience you can't get anywhere else.

it's all right
It's okay. Strong "Jacob's Ladder" vibes, but that movie meted out the suspense appropriately. This one is more "enter room, find thing that startles you, move on to next room". After a certain point the jump scares are predictable and overstay their welcome. The game is gorgeous, to be sure, and if you appreciate that, or appreciate unsettling visuals, it's definitely worth a playthrough. But get it on sale. And if you're expecting some deep story, there are better choices out there, so you should look elsewhere.
