Bloober Team has decided to bring the virtual reality version of their 2016 Victorian horror game Layers of Fear to consoles later this month. Layers of Fear VR will head to the PlayStation VR on April 29th, 2021 for $19.99
Developed for the PSVR by Incuvo and redesigned with virtual reality in mind for “greater interactivity and immersion”, Layers of Fear VR will feature the same puzzles and psychological horrors as in the original game, but with the added immersion of VR to up the ante.
“Based on the critically acclaimed 2016 title, Layers of Fear VR immerses players into the depths of madness as they take control of a painter aiming to finish his Magnum Opus. Uncover visions, fears, and horrors that entwine the painter while exploring the depths of an ever-changing Victorian mansion filled with macabre artwork, all brought to life in a truly immersive and frightening virtual reality adventure thanks to PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation VR headset.”
Layers of Fear VR is available now for Oculus Quest, Oculus Rift / Oculus Rift S and HTC Vive. The non-VR version of Layers of Fear, as well as its sequel, Layers of Fear 2 (which we reviewed here), are available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
