The scenery and stages look amazing with some great effort going into the detail. Everything looks a lot smoother, not as gradient looking, and it all plays well. I also found that around the center of the story, some layers were extremely repetitive, but in saying this, the little changes which did occur were creative and fun.īloober Team have done a great job with the visual aspects of this sequel. I found myself just charging through the layers and just waiting for the next attack or obstacle to tackle. The downfall with this story is I didn’t feel massively engaged, and with no great effort, it was easy to complete. Not much is known on how to obtain each ending but I’m sure it wont be long until people work it out choices in-game are few then many. These decisions can greatly change the outcome of the game as LOF2 does contain multiple endings. These are presented in the form of moral choices that let you decide the outcome of certain scenarios. As you venture forth it becomes apparent that you need to make choices for yourself and piece it all together. This factor definitely brings most of the emotional side to the game, as they scurry around a ship being chased by some alternate being, leaving notes and traces of evidence that triggers certain voice cues progressing the story. The first noticeable story that becomes apparent is the story of two siblings and their adventure acted out as pirates on the high seas. What part will you play? Layers of Fear 2, like it says, has layers of story entwined within a single plot-line. Darkness surrounds as you stand silently in the spotlight, the only sounds to be heard over your heartbeat are the distant breaking of waves against the hull, and the sound of cameras pointed in your direction preserving this moment for eternity.Ī deep and commanding voice rises from the distance. Players control a Hollywood actor who heeds the call of an enigmatic director to take on the lead role in a film shot aboard an ocean liner. Layers of Fear 2 is a first-person psychological horror with an emphasis on exploration and story. Now, here we are with Layers of Fear 2, sequel to the aforementioned psychological horror game, but, does it carry on the feel from the original title? Unfortunately, not as well as I would have hoped. The eerie portraits of weird baby faced people and two fanged beasts was enough to keep you up at night. The "Formless" ending has the player encounter the same strange being from the beginning of the game, the Rat Queen.Its been a couple of years since Bloober Team brought us Layers of Fear, and I really got a kick from this title. The "Forever" ending has the player end as Lily, a famous actress. The "Flame" ending has the player end as James, a famous actor. The third ending is obtained if there is an equal split in the choices made. Two endings depend on the player primarily following or disobeying the Director. There are three endings which are dictated by the player's decisions in the key scenes. James and Lily tried to escape the ship, however only one of them was able to survive. Sometime after this the ship they had been hiding on set fire and began to sink. To make things worse, the ship's crew began keeping strict control over the food rations, making it even harder for the two to steal food. The two struggled frequently to find food and stay out of the guards' sights, which began taking its toll on them. Life on the boat was rough for the children, especially for James, the younger sibling. It is revealed through dialogue and notes that The Actor had previously been on a similar ship as a child, that they (along with their sibling) had snuck onto the vessel to escape from their abusive father. The game then cuts to The Actor waking up and getting out of bed, while The Director berates them, saying that " are a poor excuse." The Actor then gets up, goes upstairs, plays a reel, and leaves through the door they came, beginning their journey. You almost had it." as she pulls his head off. They arrived to see the Rat Queen behind a child actor of James, saying, "Such a shame. The game begins with the Actor rushing to a stage through the halls of a sinking ship. Layers of Fear 2 is a first-person, psychological thriller, horror video game with an emphasis on exploration and story.
