In each puzzle, you use photographs to manipulate the environment in order to reach a teleporter. By holding up a polaroid photo in front of you and clicking, that photo becomes part of the world. It’s hard to describe just how amazing this…

Rather than being a direct remake of the two games, Layers of Fear tries to tie the events of these games together. This rerelease of sorts wraps the games into an overarching narrative of a writer who has been sent to an isolated…

There are roughly fifty cats on each floor, many of which are easy to spot, but with a good number that will require a more thorough scouring of the environment. Each one is a fairly simple design, but this feels deliberate so that they…
