Speaking of story, don’t be too surprised if you regularly find yourself flummoxed with what on earth is going on at points. This is a horror game ideally played on the Switch when snuggled up with a set of headphones, being the best way to immerse yourself with the stormy sounds of the weather outside and the creepy child-like chuckles that are peppered throughout this three-hour story. If there’s one thing that Layers of Fear: Legacy has going for it, it’s the game’s ability to unnerve through mood, atmosphere, and some genuinely disturbing visuals and sound. It isn’t too long before you begin to descend into madness.
This setup makes way for a horrific exploratory adventure, one which requires you to poke and prod around the eerily Victorian mansion you’ve found yourself in. Layers of Fear: Legacy sees you step into the role of a disgraced painter who, following the loss of his wife and child, has become obsessed with completing his artistic masterpiece. Originally released for other consoles in 2016, Bloober Team’s psychological scare-inducer has, at last, made it to Nintendo’s system, finally giving Switch players the frights they so sorely deserve after games like Don’t Knock Twice and Perception scared us off for all the wrong reasons. Quite clearly looking to capitalise on the lost potential posed by the harshly cancelled P.T, Layers of Fear was amongst the first copycat corridor horror games.
