Jump scares?

[Sand]

The reviews say this game has jump scares? Is this true? Is this game made for people like PewDiePie?

[sinbient]

There is a few jumpscares. I would say for the most part it's just extremely eerie but I would give it a shot if you're looking to get a little spooked lol.

Only a few jump scares, otherwise some slightly unnerving atmospheric stuff. And don't mention "that name" in anyone's presence ... they won't take you seriously.

Yes it has some jump scares, but it is far away from a jump scare simulator. This games plays more with your mind and makes you uncomfortable and lets you question your sanity. In my opinion Layers is far away from a "Youtube"-horror game and I don't think PweDiePie would understand this game.

I disagree completely with the above posters. This game is packed with jump scares but they are done very well. Great for streamers.

I'm looking to get spooked, but not by jump scares, I'll look more into it later thanks

Really? I don't care if they're done well, I'm not a streamer

Then why did you ask if it was made for youtubers like PewDiePie?

And yes, this game is jam packed with jump scares. When it's not something flying in your face it's a sudden piercing sound. Nearly non stop.

I thought so

I normally hate jump scares, its why I found FNAF to be an overhypered piece of garbage. But this game mixes in its jumpscares a lot of reality distortion that is eerie, but then turns claustrophobic very quickly.

Mabye im crazy, But this game is whimsical (piano playing as items in the room float, record player playing as the room melts then unmelts) So many momments I had me smilling.

I hear over and over games need to try new things and this game visually does, but then gets crit panned. Its got its scarry moments, but jump scare heavy it is not. Very real sense of dread to the point of needing a breather. but a beautiful game that needs to be played

I think the jump scares are paced perfectly in Layers of Fear. They are there when you least expect them.

I can't really agree with both what people are saying here that this game is;

A) Filled with jump scares

or

B) Has only few jump scares.

...

The jump scares are there. Just like in every good/bad horror game. A horror game without jump scares is like First-Person Shooter without guns.

are you seriously saying, jump scares - no matter how implemented - are only good for streamers? sorry, this is so wrong in my opinion. a good horror game usually has jump scares in it. but they are well made, and the game doesn't consist just of jump scares alone.

once there was a time when people complained about too many jump scares in certain games. but the internet seems to have converted that argument to "even a single jump scare is too much". ^^

Could not agree with this statement more.

Yes that's right. I want to be scared because the game is scary, not because of cheap shock mechanics.

Shock mechanics can be used well though. This game is proof.
