Today at Gamescom 2022 Bloober Team and Anshar Studios shared an extended look into “The Final Note,” one of the completely new storylines they have created exclusively for Layers of Fears.
Layers of Fears is a first-person, psychological-horror game set in the early 20th century that explores the lives and tragedies of a madness-engulfed family and their slow descent into insanity. This is a journey heavily influenced by the many lenses of art, starting with Victorian painting and slowly unraveling into the worlds of music and film.
This new game builds on the foundations of the franchise’s previous entries and works as a reimagining of the overall narrative structure connecting them all. Layers of Fears will serve as a nexus where the revised stories of the original Layers of Fear and Layers of Fear 2 coalesce into a single unified experience that is expanded with the addition of new original chapters.
“The Final Note” is a brand-new story chapter that features the Painter’s Wife as the playable protagonist. Created with the cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5 technology, the game will support Ray Tracing, HDR effect, 4K resolution, and make use of the Lumen system to offer the most immersive and visceral horror experience yet.
