‘Layers of Fear’ gameplay footage takes you on a tour of a gorgeous, creepy lighthouse
Bloober Team has provided an in-depth look at its reimagined Layers of Fear collection. It comprises the original Layers of Fear, Layers of Fear 2, all the expansions for both and a fresh chapter that promises to give fans “a new perspective” on the first game’s story. All the series’ events will be connected with the help of a new character called The Writer, who is the focus of the 11-minute gameplay video.
The footage shows The Writer exploring a gloomy lighthouse. It doesn’t take too long before spooky things start to happen. Your lantern is an important defensive tool against things that go bump in the night. You’ll also need it to solve puzzles and reveal secrets.
Bloober Team has reworked the Layers of Fear games in Unreal Engine 5. Based on this evidence, it seems the game has atmospheric visuals that are as pretty as they are eerie. The studio used tools such as the Lumen system, ray-tracing, HDR and volumetric lighting in an attempt to make the game look as lifelike as possible.
You’ll be able to explore Layers of Fear and take in all its creepy visuals when it hits PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in June. Meanwhile, Bloober Team is also working on a Silent Hill 2 remake.

Sea Of Thieves – A Hunter’s Cry Guide: Lighthouse Puzzle, Deeds, And Mementos
In Sea of Thieves: A Hunter’s Cry, the game’s sixth limited-time story Adventure, you’ll be tasked with making a mad-dash rescue of Merrick, everyone’s favorite shark-bitten swashbuckler who was recently kidnapped by a group of ne’er-do-wells, the Dark Brethren. As always, the steps to follow in this latest Adventure can be a bit tricky–perhaps even more so this time since a timer is involved during one lengthy section, and messing up could send you back to start over. Here’s everything you need to know about A Hunter’s Cry in Sea of Thieves, including all Deeds, Mementos, and how to solve the lighthouse puzzle.
Sea of Thieves A Hunter’s Cry Deeds and Mementos
There are six Deeds, or in-game challenges to complete if you want to earn all free cosmetics included with this story chapter.
- Enter the Sea of the Damned
- Light a lighthouse beacon
- Defeat ghost ships (3)
- Help lower the drawbridge
- Rescue Merrick
- Deliver a letter to Serik
Most of these come with natural progression, so you’ll just want to be sure you defeat enough ghost ships to clear the episode’s only optional Deed. Completing all six Deeds will earn you the Defender of the Damned memento, while simply finishing the story mode will unlock a stylish new Merrick portrait, Hunter’s Repose, for your captain’s ship.
Lego’s new motorized lighthouse has a working fresnel lens
In 1822, Augustin Fresnel invented a lens made of ringed prisms that could concentrate beams of light more effectively than reflectors or huge convex pieces of glass. These days, they’re used in spotlights and even most VR headsets. But originally, he designed them for lighthouses — it’s the invention that’s said to have saved a million ships — and today, Lego has announced a motorized lighthouse with its very own fresnel lens.
Make no mistake: it’s a toy — and, at $300 for the 2,065-piece set, a pretty expensive one, too! But Lego’s new light-up Motorized Lighthouse is packed with clever touches, like most of its modern sets aimed at adult budgets. It’ll go on sale on September 1st.
