There is always something slightly worrying about a game, or any piece of art, depicting the hardships of an artist. While I’m sure most enter the concept with the best intentions, their desires can quickly turn to arrogant self-aggrandizing. Luckily, that isn’t the case with Layers of Fear: Legacy.

Released now on Nintendo Switch after the debut on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, this game follows the uncomfortable breakdown of a tortured and tortuous artist. This is not a game about the inherent suffering that comes with creating art, or anything else creators might accidentally bring to their creations. Instead, this is a game about something much more sinister and delivered very well.
