![]() ![]() Some real creepy stuff goes on and its the sounds which make you feel unsettled. It’s the voices that you hear whispering as you explore which made me go to bed late at night pulling the covers tightly around me and sleeping with the night light on. You may enter a room and hear the scratching of something against the wall only to think what on earth is that and the problem is that you will rarely see what it is which for me always makes my imagination run wild. This game expertly builds tension using sound and music in very clever ways and it had me on edge all the time and these are the type of horrors that really get under my skin. This is not one of those run of the mill games which will try to jump scare you every few minutes although there are a good few of those as well to mix it up. As you walk you can hear the creaking of the floorboards, or how the pitter patter of the rain can be heard outside with the sporadic bursts of thunder at just the right time to scare the living daylights out of you. The audio in this game is excellent, the atmosphere created it one of fear. I could not wait to find the next collectable to extract more of what was going on, so the story for me was like a good book, I could not wait to read the next page but instead of everything being written or told through a visual narrative there is a nice mix of both with items you find adding more colour to proceedings. It gives you a first-hand look at how you have become the man you are today. The game is massively story driven so I don’t want to give too much away other than to say some of the things you find out are both fascinating and gruesome. As you would expect the publisher was not too impressed and these are the type of snippets you come across in the mansion to add detail to the fascinating story. I mean what sain man is commissioned to draw some pictures for a children’s book only to depict horrible pictures of poor little red riding hood getting eaten by a wolf. Talent dwindling and your mental capacity in the present is truly questionable. You will come across snippets that show how the man you are today is a shadow of the one he was then. As the player, you get to experience some of these past situations and get to delve deeper into the relationship he had with his wife, daughter and friends. ![]() As an unnamed painter who has had some massive troubles, you return to the beautiful, creepy Victorian mansion and begin your work to finish your Magnum Opus.Īs you explore the house, you begin to uncover more of the mystery of what happened to you through hallucinations into the past. Layers of fear peaked my attention because of its mansion setting and I am glad to say that the story is one which will have you wanting to extract every detail. ![]()
