The puzzles are (generally) not too hard and there was very few moments I was actually stuck. It's a fairly unqiue and engaging story that made me want to continue playing just to find out a little bit more. The writing for the story is farily good, I'd say much better then games such as Penumbra. As far as I am aware, there isn't really a way to die in the traditional sense, which is nice, because the game is set up in a way that you won't have to restart entire chapters of a mistake you may have made. The game isn't as 'scary' as other games of this nature may be and in fact, you are put in several situations in which you can avoid confrontation entirely if so desired. Along the way, you'll collect notes and other memorabilia within the house that offers quick glimpses into the painter's past life, his family and even the state of his mental health. At what first appears to be a basic jaunt around his home, quickly turns into a psychological horror, the house appears to be (possibly) haunted as the layouts change, you are confronted by visions of your dead wife and other various paranormal-esc situations. You play as an artist returning home to work on his opus magnum.

Layers of fear is kind of an interactive story, puzzle, survival horror kind of game. I am posting this review after I played and beat the game.

I refuse to buy games in early access anymore, so I just add them to my wish lish and wait for them to be 'finished'.
