'Layers of Fear' Nintendo Switch Version To Be Released This Halloween?
Bloober Team and Aspyr Media's psychological horror video game "Layers of Fear" is coming to the Nintendo Switch soon.
Nintendo has steadily been expanding its library with AAA and indie titles. Although there is still no release date for the game's Switch version, speculations are rife that it will be available in late October or early November, just in time for Halloween. Aside from the base game, the expansion of "Layers of Fear" titled "Inheritance" will also be debuting in the console.
The description provided by the developer for the Switch version hinted of the psychedelic horror players will encounter while exploring the game. In the story, gamers will take the role of an insane artist. The main goal is to finish his latest masterpiece without caving in to the nightmares and visions that will plague the character.
The narrative reads: "You take another drink as the canvas looms in front of you. A light flickers dimly in the corner. You've created countless pieces of art, but never anything like...this. Why haven't you done this before? It seems so obvious in retrospect. Your friends, critics, business partners—soon, they'll all see. But something's still missing... You look up, startled. That melody... Was that a piano? It sounded just like her... But, no—that would be impossible. She's gone. They're all gone."
It added later on: "It's almost finished. You can feel it. Your creation. Your Magnum Opus."
"Layers of Fear" was first released on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC platforms in 2016. Since then, it has acquired quite a large following, with many critics praising its unique storyline and creepy graphics. According to reports, the Switch version will be just like "Doom," where the game will be custom-built for the console. This will reportedly include the HD Rumble, motion control and screen support, as well as full Joy-Con capabilities.
