Comparing this game and the 2023 version of the game, I would say this one is better in my opinion, considering it feels more horror, despite being a walking simulator. It is another P.T type of clone for anyone that enjoys these types of genre.

I do think the price fits well for this game considering there is replayability for multiple endings, and is definitely one of Bloober's earliest works and a decent one at least.

This game is a hoot. I really enjoyed exploring and staring at random weird stuff... All the while wishing I could go outside and just frolic in the heavy rain.

The game may not have let me go out, but...! It made me laugh really hard. I *especially* love the dolls. They are hilarious. That corridor/room with them running into items? That was the best. Loved it.

I also love the rats. Super destructive.

Ah and the game reminded me of the "The Room" games... I swear that Null was the one who ate that chair... >.> I wouldn't be surprised if it started off here first.

That said. Story was tragic. If I could feel anything that is.

I obviously got the worst ending. That's my specialty after all.

But you know what? I am keeping it. Sure there is a... "Better" one...? If you can call it that... But I'll let the MC loop a few more times. Maybe he'll learn his lesson. Maybe not.

Does it even matter anymore?

Good game. Good fun. Great laughter.

The paid bot reviews are out in full force because they are getting ready to release Layers of Fear 3 (there was a second one?). I can’t tell you how sick I am of reading GPT-generated slop about “tight gameplay loops” or the parroted lines about how “X is not just about Y - it’s also about Z!” on every mid game.

It’s a walking simulator with jump scares. It was never anything more than that and it’s actually aged pretty poorly. The story is more “creepy” than it is “scary”, in an immature way. It’s not Silent Hill type horror, it’s more like a forgettable teen horror movie - crappy off-shelf stuff that’s maybe good for an evening of entertainment if you have absolutely nothing else going for you. I recall getting headaches trudging through all the noisy environments.
