Layers of Fear will be coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC on June 15th.

A PC-exclusive demo is also available to download now on Steam, will introduce players to the game’s cutting-edge visuals and atmosphere, before it launches in full. You can grab the demo right here.

The Layers of Fear demo won’t be around forever, it’s available from now until Tuesday, May 23rd at 8AM AEST.

“Throughout the week, we’re opening the gates to the dark and madness-filled world of Layers of Fears. Experience a glimpse of the gameplay with our demo available on Steam. It’s time to face the mystery!”

Alongside the demo, Bloober has also shared the PC system requirements for Layers of Fear so horror fans know what they’re in for before they download the sampler. The requirements start off somewhat modest for a 1080p/30FPS image at the lowest quality, but if you’re hoping to play at a full 4K60 with ray-tracing and all the rest you’ll need to be rocking at least a NVIDIA RTX 3080Ti.
