Game description:
The Hidden Layer is a psychological horror game following Alex, a student suddenly forced to move into his grandfather Eugene’s old house after his parents leave for work. The house, located on the edge of town, is quiet and isolated—too quiet. At first, Alex tries to go about his days as usual, but strange things begin to happen. Nightmares disturb his sleep, objects seem to shift on their own, and an overwhelming sense of being watched creeps into his mind. What was supposed to be a simple stay quickly becomes something far more unsettling.
Unraveling the Mystery
As players explore the house, they will come across notes, forgotten belongings, and eerie clues that hint at a hidden presence within the home. Shadows move in places they shouldn’t, whispers echo through empty rooms, and certain doors seem to lead somewhere different each time they are opened. Every interaction uncovers new layers of the mystery, making Alex question whether the horrors are real or just a trick of his exhausted mind. The deeper he searches, the more the house seems to change, twisting reality into something unrecognizable.
What Makes The Hidden Layer Stand Out
Unlike traditional horror games, The Hidden Layer focuses on a slow-building sense of dread, where fear comes not from what is seen, but from what is felt. The house itself becomes an extension of Alex’s psyche, reacting to his growing paranoia and unease. Without relying on predictable scares, the game keeps players on edge through shifting environments, unpredictable events, and a story that blurs the line between reality and illusion. Each playthrough offers new discoveries, making no two experiences exactly the same.
