.: The unsettling cries of a desperate child can be heard throughout.: Bottles of beer and wine are scattered throughout the house, and a receipt that turns up early on shows, among its items, '30 booze'. Flashbacks reveal that the artist drinks heavily because he thinks it helps him work.: The house appears to be this. In the prologue and one of the epilogues it appears to be a normal house if poorly maintained. However, once the game proper begins, if you walk through one door and then attempt to leave through it, you may find yourself in a completely different room than where you had started - assuming, of course, that it didn't lock behind you. Sometimes the mere act of turning around changes details of the room, including making doorways vanish or appear elsewhere.: The Artist is implied to have PTSD induced schizophrenia, hallucinations and psychosis. You can find several medals tucked away in drawers early on as well a drawer full of them in the office with the phone puzzle and 'Babyface.'
Layers of Fear is a first-person psychedelic horror game with a heavy focus on story and exploration. Delve deep into the mind of an insane painter and discover the secret of his madness, as you walk through a vast and constantly changing Victorian-era mansion.
.: By the end of the game it's heavily implied that the true cause of the wife's death was suicide, as one of the final scenes strongly plays like she killed herself in the bathtub. But you can't entirely rule out the possibility that the Artist actually murdered her for destroying his masterpiece, which was hinted at more lightly earlier on, though this might have been a. Until the Inheritance DLC, it was unclear whether the daughter had also died at some point before the game began.
Eventually, however, since she returns in the DLC as the playable character, very much alive some thirty years after the events of the main game.: Seems to be set somewhere in the early-to-mid 20th century, but the language used in the notes and letters scattered throughout the house seems much more modern. (Complicating matters is that Mr. Scooter, a toy that features heavily in Inheritance, is a real and very modern toy, being released in ).:. The fate of the three kids in the bonus level; see. Also, the fate of the Artist in one ending. Unable to finish the magnum opus to his satisfaction, he is trapped in a cycle of obsessive mental degradation alone in his ruined house, unable to come to terms with his own mistakes or move on from his failings.: Implied that this is what the Artist is trying to do, hoping that painting one more beautiful picture of his wife will somehow fix everything. Then in that the only ending that turns out well is the one where he paints a picture of himself instead, moving on through sheer selfishness rather than atonement (or, more generously, through focusing on his painting rather than on a past he cannot change).: In Inheritance, watching Mr.
Scooter (the toy cat) go off with its. It's a weird moment, but a very different sort of 'weird' than the rest of the game.: The Halloween level has scattered pages about three kids using a. The first one, a girl, wishes to be beautiful and is turned into a porcelain doll.
The second wishes to escape after not being able to fit out a window, and rats gnaw off his limbs. The final one wishes that none of this is real and is trapped in a painting.: In one ending, the artist decides not to paint yet another portrait of his wife and child, successfully completing a self-portrait instead; the artist seems satisfied with it, enough to move on from the tragedy, and the portrait ends up framed and displayed in a gallery, indicating that it was received well enough to revive the artist's career. However, the artist is still no closer to being reunited with his daughter, nor does he appear to have any desire to do so - a possible indication that his recovery was only achieved by embracing his selfishness. A more optimistic approach to this ending is that he realizes that he will never get his family back no matter how much he repents and struggles.
By focusing on the present and what he can do now, he moves on and returns to his career, the only part of his past that he can possibly return to. In Inheritance, one ending features his the now-grown daughter coming to terms with her father's obsession and finally forgiving him for everything he did, then burning the house down.
Then apparently experiencing the beginnings of the same instability and obsession over perfection that her father showed, now directed at her own daughter's art.: A limited level was released for Halloween that was only available for a month.: You unlock one in the study room.: Limited and actually relevant. When the Artist walks, the camera moves like he is limping and on several occasions, the camera starts rotating like if he is having vertigo.: The Early Access port makes the Painter out to be aggressive and often deliberately abusive towards his wife and child. By contrast, the full-release version of the character is a work-obsessed, emotionally distant man who genuinely wants to be a good husband and father, though his alcoholism, artistic ambitions and burgeoning mental illness make this intensely difficult.: If you follow the directions of her parents in Inheritance, the daughter could be considered this, of both music and art.: The game is full of them.: Features prominently throughout the game. At one point the screen is filled with them.
Sometimes they seem to move on their own.: In one ending of Inheritance, the daughter burns her childhood home to the ground to put an end to the madness that took place there.: Letters between the Artist and his lawyer suggest that they tried to argue this in court following an incident in which the Artist is heavily implied to have assaulted a social worker who tried to take his daughter away. It doesn't work.: The Inheritance DLC brings the daughter back to the house for her own, shorter story. Since she's now an adult woman with a child of her own, it's clearly been several decades since the events of the main game.: In the most common ending, the Artist completes the painting of his wife's pre-accident face, only to watch her beauty deform and burn up into a skeletal horror. Enraged, he picks up the painting and tosses it into a room filled with identical paintings, revealing that the game was but one of his many attempts. Worse still, if you return to the room, you can see he's actually succeeded every time, but his own madness will only let him see the skeletal failure.
Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a painting of the artist, not of the sitter.: The twitching phantom that stalks the artist in later levels is a clear send-up of Lisa from. Both are the spirits of the protagonists' deceased wives, both move in a surreal manner, and both kill you with protracted and disturbing while holding you close to their faces. The only difference is that the artist's wife is possibly a hallucination, while Lisa was almost certainly real given the setting.: The plot is driven by the increasingly unstable painter protagonist's attempt to finish his last portrait which he believes will bring back his wife, who he with neglect. A few other paintings by him also make appearances, including Baby Face, a portrait of a child with.: A rippling, twitching figure starts stalking you around the game's midpoint and is the only proper enemy in the proceedings. It's all but outright stated to be what remains of the protagonist's deceased wife, but whether it's truly her vengeful spirit or the artist's hallucination is up for debate.: The daughter seems to carry the same possibility for insanity and rage that her father had, shown in both the Inheritance's good and bad endings. She does say that insanity runs in her family.: The game is full of them.

Some are caused by the enemy detailed above and lead to a, but most of them are used to cap off long scenes of.: Or rather burn the poor thing alive. Inheritance seems to imply that the Artist chopped the dog up. In any event, the DLC makes it even more evident that the Artist hated the dog, and the daughter didn't seem to care for it much, either.: Some plot points remain ambiguous:.
The fate of the Artist's Wife. A bloody knife is found next to a full bathtub, with the Artist's memory of the event featuring the Author exclaiming loudly in horror and grief, so it could be a sign that she committed suicide.
However, notes indicate that she'd wanted to kill him, so it's also possible that she lured him into the bathroom and attacked him, and he ended up killing her in self-defense. The.
Ingredients used for the paintings. Are they actually human organs, or is the Artist just hallucinating everything? If the former, is the artist murdering people, is he mutilating himself in pursuit of artistic perfection, or has he dug up his wife's body and started cannibalizing her?.
The Inheritance DLC follows up on some of the unresolved plot points, great and small. It is revealed that his daughter survived and was taken by social services. And the apples turn up in a setpiece. Yes, there are way too many of them.: The protagonist is making a painting out of flesh, blood, and other bodily components. For good measure, it's never established where he's getting these particular items: either he's mutilating himself for the sake of his art, his wife's body has been cannibalized to make way for his masterpiece, or he's just hallucinating the whole thing.: The game gives plenty of evidence to suggest three things.
One, the Artist is hallucinating everything, and that the twisted mansion is brought on by a combination of guilt, stress, alcohol, and mental illness. Two, he's genuinely being tormented by the spirit of his dead wife, and forced to endure a repeating cycle of horror. Or three, it's a mixture of both. His mind is playing tricks, but supernatural forces as represented by his wife's ghost are clearly at work.: The whole game is full of it.: The extent of the wife's scarring may have been this, with the Artist being the one doing the overreacting. In the endings, when you're back in the real version of the house, you can see what all the demonic paintings from the Wife ending really looked like. Some of them are his wife from before the accident, while some of them show her with only a little scarring on the side of her face.
It's implied that in his madness, the Artist instead could only see his wife as if she'd had all her skin burnt off, even in his own paintings of her.: The expy you encounter undergoes seizure-style motions. Lampshaded in one of the letters, explaining that this could be the result of nerve damage from the fire.: Three of them, though none of them are good per se.
Inheritance also has three endings.: The entire game is one continuous nightmare sequence for the protagonist.: A regular occurrence. Beginning in a relatively ordinary mansion, it soon becomes clear that all is not well after you open the door to leave the studio and find that the layout of the house has been warped beyond all recognition. After that, it's quite common for the environment to change behind closed doors or new rooms to materialize while your back's turned, or even for different interiors to 'glitch' into existence around you.: The artist's name is never revealed, nor is that of his wife. Newspaper clippings that presumably reveal them are scratched out. In the ending of Inheritance, some blocks in the father's shrine to his daughter spell 'REGINA', hinting that it might be her name.: The game keeps the creepy pressure on even when nothing is happening by keeping you unsure whether something is going to happen.
Frequently, nothing continues to happen.: As a sign of just how far the Artist has fallen in terms of sanity, he's reduced to illustrating this happening to Little Red Riding Hood, of all people.: Can be heard in settings related to your daughters' bedroom.: The game features this as a small puzzle in one area to unlock a secret item, and the Halloween DLC revolves around three children who used it to.: The game does not use much of standard scares of other horror games, such as scarce supply, strong enemies, and hiding tactics.
