7 Most Terrifying Video Games Available On PSN Right Now

4. Layers Of Fear

A game with this title isn’t going to be about collecting flowers and befriending neighbours. (No offense, Nintendo.)

You are a painter returning to his home studio with the goal of completing his masterpiece and it is your job to figure out how. Grab a brush and off you go? No. As any painter will tell you, the piece must have soul to reach its full potential.

The game is divided into six chapters. When you complete a chapter and unlock more of the story, and you return to add more to your ‘magnum opus’. The story pushes you into the mind of an artist and creative people playing through the game may find themselves relating more than they would like.

Layers of Fear is bound to the realms of psychological horror. You will question what is real and what isn't, as reality distorts and offers puzzles for you whilst maintaining an exhausting level of terror.

Even without the creepiness of the mansion, your paranoia is elevated by disembodied voices and objects moving unaided. The harsh jump scares will also keep you on your toes.

Inexpensive and worth the risk to your sofa’s upholstery; just ensure your bladder is empty and only play in the dark if you’re feeling brave.
