Hallucinatory horror game Layers of Fear is coming to Switch later this month
Developer Bloober Team has revealed that its artistically inclined first-person horror game Layers of Fear is heading to Switch on February 21st.
Layers of Fear released back in 2016 to somewhat mixed reviews. For my money though, it's a fantastic - if understandably divisive - horror game. It's essentially an incredibly grandiose fairground spook house ride, linear to the point of walking simulator, and packed full (almost to its detriment at times) of largely ridiculous jump scares.
What makes it a winner though is its deliciously gothic atmosphere and Bloober's eye for an unforgettable set-piece. As it again demonstrated in last year's memory-hopping sci-fi horror Observer, Bloober can do disorientating nightmare-scapes with real artistry, and it does a remarkable job of enlivening Layers of Fear's delightfully hoary old haunted house setting.
