Bloober Team have released a new trailer for Layers of Fears, which shares an extended look into “The Final Note,” one of the new storylines created exclusively for the game.
While the previously trailer looked back and teased how Layers of Fears will provide a new take on the original Layers of Fear‘s story, today’s trailer focuses on new content.
“The Final Note” focuses on the Painter’s Wife, a devastated musician whose side of the story players have yet to hear. The end of the trailer also includes a brief tease of a new location that helps link together the stories of Layers of Fear and Layers of Fear 2, “diving deeper into how these seemingly separate events are in fact intertwined.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Bloober Team:
About
Layers of Fears is a first-person, psychological-horror game set in the early 20th century that explores the lives and tragedies of a madness-engulfed family and their slow descent into insanity. This is a journey heavily influenced by the many lenses of art, starting with Victorian painting and slowly unraveling into the worlds of music and film. This game builds on the foundations of the franchise’s previous entries and works as a reimagination of the overall narrative structure connecting them all. Layers of Fears will serve as a nexus where the revised stories of the original Layers of Fear and Layers of Fear 2 coalesce into a single unified experience that is expanded with the addition of new original chapters.
