The Layers of Fears game is a remake of a game with the same name from 2016. The portraits depicted here are of the protagonist’s wife in the game, designed and created by artist Andrzej Dybowski. Layers of Fears is a first-person psychedelic horror chronicle built on Unreal Engine 5 technology, said to offer the most immersive and visceral horror experience to date.
In the game, the wife’s talents help inspire the artist (the protagonist) to paint, and she becomes an obsessively crucial muse to his talent. Caught in a department store fire, the wife is severely burned and permanently disfigured.
The protagonist is the painter, the main character, the husband, the father to their daughter, and the player of the game. Neither the husband, the wife, nor the daughter are named in the game.
