Anyone played 2? How was it?
I couldn’t finish 1.
The player is shown a lot of disturbing imagery, but there is zero tension and no threat. It’s similar to early Chinese Room titles: a pretentious and superficial experience comparable to A Machine For Pigs*, without the pigs. Evaluated as a *horror game*, its *horror is ruined by the game. 4/10, the experience isn’t worth the time. Just watch someone else play it.Forget that, I was mixing up which game I remembered. I thought LOF2 was the one with the insane painter. I know I’ve played both, though (plus Observer), but can’t recall a single damn detail about the second game. I guess the experience was too bland to even retain.
I don’t mind walking sims as long as I know what I’m in for and the mood/story is worthwhile. I really liked AMFP, for example.
But LoF 1 just didn’t do it for me. Sounds like 2 is more of the same. The parts where it entered horror were a bit distasteful for me
Its a Bloober game, so its going to be mid-at-best and have horrendous performance issues. Most likely a walking simulator overfilled with the only thing Bloober thinks is scary: jump scares. Absolutely no subtlety in the story either.
Oh my god, my eyes saw the word “Lay-“ and knowing this is a studio in 2026 that makes singleplayer games, it automatically filled in a different word.
I was thinking the same thing. damn.
