All your talking and drawing of Layers of Fear made me interested but I'm super easily scared (only played Amnesia with a guide when the monsters where supposed to pop up, etc and still played the Prison scene with sound off, screaming all the while) do you know any good let's play video's I could watch?
The only one I’m familiar with is Cry’s stream of the game, which is what I went to when I was curious about it (start around 13 minutes in). He’s also played through the DLC on his main channel.
Although, Layers of Fear really is one of those type games that you get the most out of by playing it yourself, mostly because of items and sequences some LPers miss. Not to mention the different endings (the main game and DLC have 3 endings each, and it’s important especially in the DLC to play through each time doing different things because there are two distinct paths with their own audio flashbacks to listen to).
But yeah, I’d recommend Cry’s LP. Just put the video on fullscreen and enjoy - despite his commentary, I found myself very much immersed anyway.
Looking back, I wish I hadn’t been so skeptical of Layers to begin with, because watching Cry’s LPs meant I couldn’t go into the main game or Inheritance blind, and that’s a nice thing to have with a new horror game…but I plan to do that for Bloober Team’s next game, Observer.
