The mansion in the first Layers of Fear is adorned with classical paintings by great artists such as Rembrandt and John Frederick Herring. However, the paintings also carry a dark twist, including sinister inspirations and references.

The eerie collection also features famous works like "Portrait of a Man" by Jan van Eyck, famously trailing the viewer's eyes. Additionally, "Mars" by Goya and "Portrait of Antonietta Gonzalez" by Lavinia Fontana add a haunting element to the game.

The second part of Layers of Fear continues the motive of arts. Mysterious mannequins that you encounter throughout the game recreate scenes from famous cinematic classics such as "Metropolis" and "Journey to the Moon". These figures spin tales straight out of the terrifying "Seven".

But that's not all! The game is also littered with other ghoulishly modified works of art, such as Leonardo da Vinci’s "Lady with an Ermine", movie posters, and even a stylized portrait of one of the biggest fans of the Layers of Fear series.


In short, Layers of Fear is a one-of-a-kind journey that takes you into the abyss of spookily unusual art history.
