Summer of Games - Episode 16: Layers of Fear (1+2+DLC) (Series X) [15/100] | Rumble Gaming

In today's episode we will be diving into the recently released Layers of Fear (2023) on the Xbox Series X! I haven't played through any of the prior entries so this will be my first experience with Layers of Fear as a whole. This one looks pretty good...at least visually. We are playing both Layers of Fear and the included DLC.

Layers of Fear (2023)
=============
The canvas awaits its final brushstrokes. The stage calls for its lead actor. The novel needs its final chapter. It’s time to face your fears. One. Last. Time.

The series that defined narrative-focused first-person psychological horror is back to tell its last spine-chilling story with Layers of Fear. The series’ crowning work is the definitive way to experience the critically acclaimed franchise as it features Layers of Fear and Layers of Fear 2, as well as all DLCs (including the new ‘The Final Note’ DLC that will give you a new perspective on the Layers of Fear storyline) and the never-before-told story of The Writer, which will tie everything together. Built on Unreal Engine 5, Layers of Fear supports Ray Tracing, HDR and 4K resolution to make the stunning visuals, and your nightmarish experience, as immersive and realistic as possible.

What is the Summer of '85 Challenge?
This challenge is a predetermined list of 85 games that I have come up with that I need to finish as quickly as I can. The goal is to finish no later than the the last of Summer...if not sooner. Each game will be timed to tally overall time taken per game. These aren't official speedruns but should a game qualify it will be submitted to Speedrun.com. This challenge was previously done last year on Twitch with a similar outline that ran from 6/21/2022-9/22/2022. This time we are going to start a little earlier but running from the unoffical start of summer (US Memorial Day) to the unofficial end (US Labor Day) 5/29/2023-9/4/2023. Join me as we celebrate gaming and the Summer season!
