Layers of Fear 2 coming to Switch next week

Layers of Fear: Legacy came to Switch a little over three years ago. Its sequel will now be launching on the platform next week, according to an eShop listing.

Here’s an overview and trailer from the store page:

A sequel to the critically acclaimed horror phenomenon, Layers of Fear 2 is a first-person psycological horror game that puts you in the shoes of a Hollywood actor aboard an ocean liner.

With an emphasis on exploration and storytelling, Layers of Fear 2 puts you in the center of the scene. You are not just in character, you are the character. The part you play is singularly yours. Written just for you. Beware, though, for all may not trly be what it seems.

Your past has helped to mold you into what you are, forced upon you the skills required to hone your craft. That same past has scraped deep furrowing scars into you, not on the outside where the world can see, but in a place buried so deep within that it has become shapeless. You push those memories down but let the experience drive you into who, or what, you must play.

Darkness surrounds as you stand silently in the spotlight, the only sounds to be heard over your heartbeat are the distant breaking of waves against the hull. A deep and commanding voice rises from the distance.

“Act!” – it demands.

Which part will you play?

Layers of Fear 2 pre-orders should soon open worldwide on the eShop. If you’ve downloaded Layers of Fear: Legacy or Observer, you’ll be eligible for a 20 percent discount.
