Bloober Team's countdown to Valentine's Day has ended with a Layers of Fear 3 announcement, despite all the rose-related teases that made fans guess the studio was working on a Rule of Rose revival.
The horror powerhouse launched a mysterious website last month counting down to Valentine's Day and left a couple of clues in its wake. There was a rose that would bleed at the touch of your mouse and an audio version of The Sick Rose, a William Blake poem.
Regardless, Rule of Rose is likely to be stuck in limbo for a while longer after today's Layers of Fear 3 reveal. The aforementioned website now hosts a logo for the first-person threequel and some text: "Some Things Never Leave The Walls. They Only Learn To Wait." You can see the very spooky live action reveal trailer up above.
Creative director Mateusz Lenart says the series is about the "thin line between inspiration and obsession," and Layers of Fear 3 will again place players "inside an artist's unravelling mind" to "invite empathy, rather than judgement."
Bloober Team's been on a bloody hot run lately with both Silent Hill 2 remake and Cronos: The New Dawn receiving much love from genre buffs, a stark improvement from its hit and miss history consisting of Layers of Fear, The Medium, and Blair Witch. The studio's now also working on a remake of the very first Silent Hill game, alongside an unnamed Nintendo exclusive.
