I think I'm just not meant to "get" the Layers of Fear games. Having now played both of them, I just found them utterly boring. I realized with this one that they really are less "games" and more digital haunted houses. I wish that the stories they told could be delivered in a more interesting, less obtuse & flowery way. The story in this one seems like it could be something, but it's told in such a boring way that it falls flat for me. Not to mention, I also didn't once find this game frightful--it abuses jump scares instead of crafting genuine horror. Hopefully they're completely rethinking this series for the sequel, because if it's anything like these two then I will also find it boring.
