How does TV comedy keep getting better? Dramas hit a bit of a plateau on television in 2018. The likes of Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and even The Leftovers are now distant memories. Better Call Saul lives on, and The Americans concluded in fine fashion but the landscape after that isn’t as nearly as impressive as years’ past. More than ever, it is comedy that is the driving force behind the most daring, creative, and fun storytelling on television....

Following a tiny tease last October, Bloober Team - the developer behind the psychedelic horror chills of The Medium, Observer, and Blair Witch - has finally unveiled its latest Layers of Fear project: a remake of the previous two games in the series (plus DLC) bundled into a single, connected package for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
