Layers of Fear 2

Game Introduction

Layers of Fear 2 is a first-person psychological horror game developed by Bloober Team. As the sequel to the classic horror game Layers of Fear, this installment continues the unique Victorian-era aesthetic of its predecessor and relocates it to an early 20th-century ocean liner. Players assume the role of a director seeking creative inspiration aboard a mysterious transatlantic cruise ship, only to gradually descend into the depths of madness. Through distorted spaces, ever-shifting corridors, and unsettling visual elements, the game crafts an oppressive and eerie horror atmosphere, immersing players in unprecedented psychological fear as they explore.
