Layers of Fear 2, the Polish game developer is reportedly aiming to recreate the unique atmosphere of Alfred Hitchcock's weirdest movies and Georges Méliès' spectacular illusion shows – as the horror will put the spotlight on the interior of a mysterious boat that hides many terrible secrets.
Considering that its critically acclaimed predecessor from 2016 has managed to merge elements of horror and exploration rather well, there's hope that the sequel will live up to its fascinating premise.
As a reminder, Bloober Team's original was focused solely on a psychologically disturbed painter who was trying to complete his magnum opus – that also was the key to unveiling the protagonist's past.
