This is not the first time I've wandered the haunted hallways of Layers of Fear: Legacy. I originally played this first-person horror game when it was released

It would be easy to dismiss Layers of Fear as a funhouse, but the reality is that this game goes far deeper than a ride through a spooky house. As an examination of family, artistic obsession, alcoholism and regret, Layers of Fear hits on a deeper level while still delivering quality scares.

Layers of Fear: Legacy is a brilliant horror story for (almost) all ages and levels of terror stamina. The artwork takes your breath away and the content in it keeps you guessing. Even though the controls for this game on Nintendo Switch  are a little clunky I am confident making Layers of Fear: Legacy a priority on your gaming menu would be a very favourable decision.

Layers of Fear may at first glance fit into the often derided walking simulator subgenre, but its impressive design makes it a much deeper and more memorable experience than one would initially expect. It represents an effective Switch port and even goes out of its way to include a motion control option. In the Switch’s growing library of horror titles, Layers of Fear has positioned itself as a powerful front runner.

There is always something slightly worrying about a game, or any piece of art, depicting the hardships of an artist. While I’m sure most enter the concept with the best intentions, their desires can quickly turn to arrogant self-aggrandizing. Luckily, that isn’t the case with Layers of Fear: Legacy.
