If you've never heard of the game. Layers of Fear is a psychedelic, psychological, first-person horror which puts you in the shoes of a disturbed painter. Based in a Victorian household, the game doesn't just rely on the classic spooky environments and jump-scares, but rather the uncertainty of your own movements.

Twinned with a tragic story, every turn of the camera could possibly lead you somewhere totally different. The question is - is it your own mind, or is it actually happening?

Details about the Switch's exclusive content are limited, but we'll keep you updated when we know more. There's also no specific release date just yet, only that it'll be arriving 'soon'.

Those of you headed to Tokyo Game Show, however, will be able to get your hands on a playable demo.
