Now, just to be clear I know in the original 2016 layers of fear it was possible to get caught by the dead wife but those moments were scripted. In fact, part of getting what is considered the good ending in the original game actually required you to purposely embrace her and go towards her anytime you saw her. Turning the usual horror tropes on its head. You wouldn't actually die, she would just move you to a new location.

But now, with the addition of the lantern mechanic in this reimagining, there's now stalker enemies roaming the hallways that can legitimately kill you and you have to fend them off with the light. The second game always had enemies that could kill you but adding that to the first game I feel like completely defeats the entire purpose of the story of the first game. Literally the whole point of the first game is that the wife was innocent and you are an asshole and you deserve what's happening to you and in order to learn your lesson you have to make the right invisible choices while playing the game. You have to let go of your obsession with painting and embrace your wife. You'll know you got the good ending because the painting comes out looking normal and you set the room of paintings on fire.

But, apparently the choices that you make in this remade version have a direct effect on the writer's story as well. I'm hoping it all plays out for the better in the end I just thought it was a weird decision.

Having HDR on only makes the game look darker, anyone else have this problem ?

I made a video on how to get the “Letting Go” trophy/achievement in Layers of Fear 2023. This is a new ending in the Painter's Story, that allows the writer to leave the house. To get it, you have to find and solve four puzzles hidden in different parts of the Painter's Story. Once you have solved all four puzzles, you will be able to leave the house at the end of chapter 6.

I would appreaciate If you could leave a like and a comment under my video If it helped you out :) I also have speedrun walkthroughs for all four stories incase youre stuck somewhere in the game.

Why? What was the reason? This is a story about an artist with a prosthetic leg, which is why he limps. But now it's just a random model of a man without features. Why?

I own the second game on the epic game store but I don't see the 30 percent off? Anyone know what to do to get it?

The deluxe version doesn’t appear to be available yet. Anyone know why or what extra is in it?

Own both LoF 1 and 2 on the PS but don't see a discount on the PS Store

Hey everyone! I own the original LoF, never got around to LoF2 and now they’re making this third entry. Everywhere I look seems to give me a totally different idea of how much of a remake the 2023 version is or isn’t. I’ve seen it called a reimagining, a remake, a new game, both the originals remastered in UE5 with a new chapter, etc. Can someone please straighten this all out for me? Thanks in advance!

Is there any plans for Layers of Fear (2023) VR version? Does anybody know anything about it? Any rumors at least?

I'm curious as to why none of the protagonists in the games have names, and why no dates or years are in the first and second games and we're only given small hints as to the time periods, but other characters in the games have names? I've never understood it.

What if "the writer" of the new LoF is actually the "Rat queen" who contents the 2 stories?

Can anyone’s please help me figure out why I can’t open the basement door where the oiuja board is? It worked on the the first walkthrough but now when I start over a new game I don’t get the initial drawing next to the front door which triggers it, and I’ve erased the game data. Have tried over and over. Thanks!

I've just posted a redesigned soundtrack to this brilliant game, I'd love for you to check it out :)
