The references to the real-life horror of Titanic are obviously there.
Horror Movie Easter Eggs in Layers of Fear 2
I’m going to list off a few of them I spotted, if I’ve missed any please feel free to add to the comment section. I think perhaps one of the coolest parts of Layers of Fear 2 review is how much homage it pays to horror films in general. Easter Eggs/ Minor Spoilers for Layers of Fear 2 If you are a horror fan, this game is definitely worth playing because of all the little nods to horror films. I DO feel Bloober Team has done an amazing job creating a horror fan-filled environment. The second playthrough allowed me to enjoy so many of the awesome Easter Eggs I mention in the next part that *does* include some minor spoilers (but still might be worth reading if you are undecided on this game). This lag in the middle is quite possibly why quite a few people are giving Layers of Fear 2 some negative reviews.Īll that being said, I invested the time to complete this game twice, witnessing two different endings ( I watched the 3rd on YouTube ? ). We know pretty much what to expect after it happens a few times. For example, main chase sequences no longer got to me because I’ve done them so many times. I found that after the initial few chapters that had me having semi-regular jump-scare moments, those moments were fewer and farther between. By this point, I found I also cared less about the main character because nothing was really explained. Around this time, you still don’t really know exactly what’s going on. Where I feel Layers of Fear 2 kind of falls flat, is about halfway through the game. It becomes clear that things are not what they seem very quickly. Layers Of Fear 2 is very much a psychological horror. It’s confusing and twisty and you need to experience it first hand. There is no inventory, complicated fight scenes, or crazy commands. The rest of the story will unfold as you play. A straightforward guide that effectively allows you to figure out what you will need to do, without making it feel like you’re doing a tutorial. The first chapter helps you get acquainted with how the controls work. (The voice of Tony Todd from Candy Man and Final Destination fame) How you choose to proceed is up to you though. You play first person, as a famous Hollywood actor who’s following the directions and notes, of a rather evil sounding director. The game is set on a strange old ship out in the middle of the ocean that reminders you way too much of the Titanic. ( There are several Easter eggs to the 1st one though). If you never played Layers of Fear 1, it doesn’t really matter because the games are not related in any way. Layers of Fear 2 doesn’t start by giving you much backstory, and that is part of the mystery. Layers Of Fear 2 History and Overview ( spoiler-free)
