Layers Of Fear: Legacy Preview
Layers of Fear: Legacy has been officially announced for the Nintendo Switch. This marks the second horror game making its way to the platform, with Resident Evil Revelations Collection arriving in late November.
Layers of Fear: Legacy is described as psychological horror. It includes the original game as well as the expansion (Inheritance) that came out for other platforms last year. HD Rumble, touchscreen access, and motion controls are new additions exclusive to the Switch game.
The game is a psychedelic adventure horror centered around a painter who has gone made in the pursuit of completing his life’s work. You will need to discover the secret of his madness as you walk through a vast and constantly changing Victorian mansion. Hallways will shift, walls will move, and you’ll have to uncover the visions, fears and horrors that entwine the painter and finish his masterpiece layer by layer.
Layers of Fear received some very positive reviews when it released on other platforms. Hopefully the game holds up in the transition to the Switch!
