Synopsis: Co-developed by Dreamloop Games for the Nintendo Switch release, Layers of Fear 2 is a first-person psychological horror, placing players in the role of a Hollywood actor aboard an ocean liner. You’ll be in the lead role of a new film, directed by a mysterious yet eccentric director, voiced by Tony Todd.

  • Psychological & Psychedelic Horror – Is this all part of the film? Or are your memories playing tricks on you? Your world may change with the slightest of provocations and it’s your responsibility to decide what is real.
  • A Stage On the Sea – The deeper you venture into the bowels of the luxurious ocean liner, the more incredible—and terrifying—the scenes become. What awaits you in the final scene?
  • Ominous Classical Soundtrack – An original score composed by Arkadiusz Reikowski, conducted by George Strezov, and performed by the Sofia Session Orchestra highlights the disquieting atmosphere aboard the ship.
