Layers of Fear (2023) review

I enjoyed my initial experience with the original LOF, but at present, it feels distant.

Being a narrative-driven game, it's crucial to engage the player in the story. However, this time around, I didn't find myself as engrossed. The gameplay remains rather straightforward, revolving around acquiring items and uncovering more about the protagonist's past. The issue lies in the fact that the horror elements fail to generate the level of excitement I was hoping for. My overall experience was quite neutral, and that's quite disappointing.

Visually, they've done a commendable job, but I'm starting to wonder if this game might not align with me anymore.
