Small announcement: Layers of Fear 2 posts are going to start being reblogged within a day or so, so be sure to have the tag ‘lof2 spoilers’ blocked if you don’t want to see them!
Additionally, I have added the tag ‘Layers of Fear 1′ to ALL posts on this blog that relate to the first game. This way if you’re looking for something from just the first game only, you have that option now.
Hi! I saw your post and your small bio about having theories about Layers of Fear 2 and I would LOVE to talk about it with you. :D
My friend that I help run this blog with wrote that bio, but I do have a number of Layers of Fear 2 theories that I haven’t written yet! Mostly because I’m still unsure about them, hehe.
But I’d love to talk with more people about this game! The more variety in fresh perspectives the better.
If you’d like, you can send me a tumblr message and we can chat in there, or if you’d like to join the Discord server I made for the series, feel free to join and theorize with us!!
Going through the game and finding notes, clippings and items here and there... one can usually link them to something else in the game (a character, an event, etc.) -- does anyone have any ideas for what this article found in the DLC could link to?
Is it a red herring? Does the technology apply to something in the game? (The article makes a point to mention how it could be used in engineering, education, medicine and visual art.)
Or is the last line, “If there comes a time when we are unable to distinguish between reality and fiction, just how will that affect us as a society?” supposed to be our takeaway?
Empowered by Unreal Engine 4, Aspyr is bringing the psychedelic horror experience of the fan-favorite franchise, Layers of Fear, to Daydream.
LAYERS OF FEAR: SOLITUDE
Layers of Fear, redesigned especially for VR, is coming to the Google Daydream! Check out more info at the link above.
Possible Livestream? -- Myself and the other half of @zhobot are planning on replaying LoF soon to get lists of things (rooms that repeat, items in certain chapters, etc.) for photo/costume/prop projects we’re working on and for posts here on ROoA and we were wondering if anyone would want to join us in a stream -- maybe tomorrow evening?
We probably won’t even have the camera or mic on (who knows maybe we will? ;D) but I will be in the chat on the stream while I’m taking notes if anyone wants to theorize with me while he plays through the game.
tl;dr -- we might stream LoF tomorrow night if there is any interest! I would love to theorize and geek out with people in the chat! <3
A Ridiculous Analysis of Handwriting in Layers of Fear - 2/?
Here is the second post in this mess. A short one, but a comparison that stumped me nonetheless.
If you take the same letter from the memento book (the only one, IIRC, with the wife’s handwriting pre-accident) and compare it to the back of the sketch you find of a woman near the beginning of the game (it’s one of the whisper items -- in the hallway where a painting flies across the hall in front of you) ...the handwriting doesn’t match.
The painter talks about the model’s lovely curves -- to which the woman he was sketching wrote “I’m not that round!” -- as a response.
The capital I’s are the first big difference and another thing that stands out are the lowercase A’s. In addition, when the wife writes R’s they are stylized like uppercase R’s even in the middle of words. Those are only three out of many differences between letters here. And I never found another instance of the handwriting that appears on the back of the sketch.
At first I thought this might be something that’s meant to throw the player off. You find this sketch then start finding the items where you hear the wife talking (she sounds like she’s speaking about someone else -- so the player might think she’s speaking about another woman). You find out later what the wife was actually speaking of and it’s not a person.
But even if it was something created to throw the player off... the handwriting is so different (people’s handwriting can definitely be different depending on how fast someone is writing and all that -- but these differences seem to go past something like that) and the way the painter speaks to the woman he’s drawing...?
Thoughts on this, anyone? (・_・？)
(p.s. another thing I want to look into is the signature on the sketch -- but I will save that for later!)
theflyingclintman said: This game really does a good job at making you feel insane, I feel like that’s what they were going for lol
Agreed! That’s one of the reasons I love it so much. They aren’t afraid to take it to the next level and stick you right there in the mess of this painter’s mind -- things change from one moment to the next like one long stream-of-conscious thought and it is awesome! (Creepy also, but still awesome. XD)
The atmosphere plus the world-building with all the notes and stuff is A+. :D
