The value story
The lowest price on record is $10.49, set in September 2026. 27 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 40 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 8 days ago.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 35 percent on value. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 66 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Gray Dawn ($19.99, scores 46) beats it on value, while it beats Amnesia: Rebirth ($29.99, scores 36).
Steam's global achievement data puts about 13 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 9.6-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 3 of the 399 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 65 percent of the 213 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 9.6 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

Horror fans that haven't played the Layers of Fear games before will get a lot of value out of this collection, as it is essentially two full games in one with added content and some truly incredible graphics.
Disgusting, distasteful, awful, puke inducing pile of trash - that's a very mild for this team and their work. While once their skill might have been considered original and artistic Layers of Fear 2023 proves this studio falls down like a niagara falls. What in the actual f*ck is this ? burning a fire victim with fire ? Seriously ? I hope some entity also count's hidden points towards your ending and you will not...
