Dave writes: “I didnt play Layers of Fear as intended. I lost count of the number of times that I would be bent over, rifling through a pair of drawers or rummaging through a cupboard when – DUNG! – the audio would clatter through my headphones, and Id turn around to see what I missed. Im sure it would have had an unsettling effect, had I seen it, but I was too busy searching for rat drawings, whispering items, and any number of letters and journals that would fill out the story and perhaps net me some Gamerscore. As it turned out, it would even lead to a better ending, but I didnt know that at the time.”
