Get Immortalized in ‘Layers of Fear’ With An In-Game Portrait
Did you hear that? It’s coming from the basement. Hey, I have an idea — how about you go investigate that strange wailing we’re both definitely hearing, and I’ll stay here so I can keep an eye on that blood-colored teddy bear, on the off chance it suddenly sprouts antlers, catches fire and starts chasing me with a hammer.
That’s the first part of my one man play inspired by the genuinely frightening psychological horror game Layers of Fear. This game was plenty scary already, and now it’s even more frightening thanks to a free content update that rolled out earlier this week, bringing with it some additional polish and a new room that can be found in the basement.
Like the flesh sacks we call our bodies, all of this is temporary. A month from now, it’ll feel like it was a dream. However, Bloober Team is giving players an opportunity to be immortalized in the game. All you need to do is “find all of the unique effects connected with the key words,” and even then, only the first three people to do that will be rewarded with an in-game portrait of themselves.
Layers of Fear is available now on Steam Early Access for $12.99. As of a week ago, it also made its way to the Xbox One, via the console’s Preview program.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
