Blooper Team has continued to carve out a space within the horror genre that’s all their own. They have managed to wreak horror in the hearts of many, and staple their trademark creativity for terror within the minds of all those who dared step foot into their digital palisade of paranoia with the original Layers of Fear. They’re back at it again with the help of Gun Media, having released Layers of Fear 2 on the PS4, Xbox One, and on Steam for PC. For gamers in need of a little help with the newly released horror game, there is a walkthrough available.

YouTuber MKIceandFire rolled out a full playthrough of the game from start to finish, with the running time clocking in at just under four hours. You can check out the Layers of Fear 2 walkthrough below, offering a few hints and tips on what to do and where to go during some of those more puzzling moments.

At the start of the game after, once the loading is done, you’ll appear in a corridor of a leaky cruise.

After examining the eye patch the ceiling will fall in and reveal the code to the lock on the gate to get to the next segment. The code is: 450

There’s a back with a compass on it. Examine the bag and then you’ll need to solve a puzzle by putting the chair in the white spot on the spinning diorama.

Activate the lever to spin the diorama and then get it to stop under where the chair is located. Go into the opposite room and press the red button to see where the chair comes down. Use the lever next to the button to slowly move the diorama around until the white space is directly underneath the chair.

After the audio clip plays, proceed through the next area into the room with the note about Mr Hardy, and the photographs on the desk. Examine the note and the photograph inside the desk before moving to the small theater.

Past the theater you can go behind the screen and through the backstage area. There’s another photograph on the ground you can examine.

Look through the peep hole to see the mannequin get crushed by the chair and then look at the marquee poster before continuing down the hall.

There’s another photograph in the desk after you head into the backstage dressing room area.

You’ll need a key to get into the next room. Flip the switch to lower the key and set the mannequin on fire. Take the key and open the door into the next area. To your right there’s a hole in the wall. Take the bullet and then you’ll need to shoot one of the mannequins sitting in the chair.

A door will open and lead you into the next area, which will then take you into the storage area. Follow the flashing projector light through the halls. Most of the doors are locked, but if you keep following the light it will take you to the doors that aren’t locked.

The next part can be tricky. You’ll need to follow the light until you reach a part in the hall where a mannequin will tip over a shelf and then you’ll need to turn around and go back the way you came and then you’ll need to follow the light to a fan aimed at a mannequin.

The door will open and take you into the next area where the monster will pop out again. You’ll need to hide in one of the rooms, close the door, lock the door shut, and wait for the monster to leave.

When it’s safe, proceed to exit the room and go down the hall to the room with the chairs and the projector.

You’ll need to align the projector so that it shows a door in the background, which will make the door appear. Then you’ll need to align the projector so that the knob appears.

Go through the door and then go left. DO NOT approach the mannequin.

Press the lever on the wall and then keep going.

Things will get a little weird here (as if they haven’t already) and you’ll need to examine the liquor bottle to proceed. Go back to the lever on the wall and flip it before heading up the ladder.

Follow the floating items to the burning picture and then race up the steps to the speed control. Put it on full. Then stop the boat and go into the next room.

When you get to the next part, the monster will go on the hunt for you… again.

Once across, proceed through the walkway until you enter into a room. Take the live wire and pick it up and place it into the tub to electrify the man. This will open the door into the next area. From here, run from the monster until you reach the door, which will transport you into a treasure room. This will end Act II.

The doors are all locked, but there’s a white line on the ground telling you to go down the stairs.

Go over to the table and read the note about the pirate film after you take the keys.

There’s another picture inside the drawer behind the ghoulish stew.

After the segment ends you’ll gain a key to access the bathroom.

Examine the water globe with the dead tree inside and then make your way to the bathroom.

Walk through the projection and you’ll end up inside another hallway. Look through the keyhole and there’s a potted plant. The objective is to get the plant to grow using the water faucet and the fan.
