Story

Still Layers of Fear 2 isn't considered a pure Horror Game in my opinion as there is a lot more than Gore and jump scares to it, it is more of a Walking game that tells a story with a very very Creepy manner and chilling way and compared to all the Horror titles released in the last months it is surely one of the best as far as that goes.

Voice actors are extremely good every voice fits the characters perfectly and all of them are perfectly understandable which makes you understand their feelings as they speak, the soundtrack was great in the first game and obviously it is even better in this one.
