Layers of Fear - Tips and Secrets (2016)
• There are no official cheat codes; the game relies on exploration and puzzle solving.
• Explore every room carefully: many notes and collectibles only appear on specific playthroughs.
• When you find an interactive object, rotate it and examine all sides before moving on; some puzzles require manipulating both sides.
• The house constantly changes: if a door disappears, look for hallways and rooms that weren't there before, they often hide story fragments.
• The ending you get depends on the items you collect throughout the game; gathering the wife's and daughter's memories unlocks alternate endings.
• Use closets and hiding spots when the entity chases the protagonist; hiding in time avoids restarting the section.
• Listen to whispers and inspect paintings closely for hints on the painting puzzles.
• Finish the game multiple times to see all three endings and earn the achievements tied to each one.
