In this world, nothing makes sense, and when you start to walk into a room expecting things to happen, it’s often the complete opposite. In sharing with the hopelessness and confusion, we are truly experiencing the protagonist’s journey as if it were our own. While this may initially frustrate some players, it is actually yet another strength of the game. There is one instance that sees you locked in a room with a desk fan and a tap, and the combination of which tap is running actually helps you escape the room. Gun MediaĪs mentioned above, the game does have some simple puzzle designs, and others that are simply bizarre that you solve simply by seeing what you can interact with in any given room. Hopefully a console controller doesn’t have this problem.

While this definitely adds to immersion, panic and urgency during some mid-game chase sequences, playing on a PC with a gaming mouse resulted in some fumbling - and even struggling - to open a door in time to avoid an instant death. However, it's done by clicking and sliding them open, as seen in the likes of Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

Gameplay-wise, there is only really one main mechanic, and that is opening and closing doors. Allow yourself to look past the thinly explained story and completely blank, emotionless protagonist, and you'll realise this game’s strengths are in environmental design, alongside overarching feelings of dread and mystery. Using headphones is absolutely the way to play, as Layers of Fear's less-intense portions are where the atmosphere truly gets to shine.
