Storyline

I’m home, Father.

Time takes its toll on everything that surrounds us. It destroys what is physical, crumbling even the sturdiest foundations, and it destroys our minds—our memories—shaping and twisting them into something new. You are never ready to face the past, but the past never lets you go. And so I find myself at the door, the handle disturbingly cold to the touch. I pull it open and enter what was once a place of solitude turned nightmare. I’m home, Father.

Inheritance is is "just a bit more of the same" type of DLC but with less jumpscares and infinitely less unlikable protagonist than the mainInheritance is is "just a bit more of the same" type of DLC but with less jumpscares and infinitely less unlikable protagonist than the main game. Also all 3 endings are just perfect for psychological horror.On the other hand, exploration and puzzles are a bit worse. During my 2 hours long playthrough i encountered few glitches with textures and cutscenes, that never happened in the main game.Overall, I like the direction Bloober Team has taken with their horror titles and will definitely play the Observer sometime.

Layers of Fear: Inheritance is a micro-sequel of the base game that allows the player to feel the horror from the point of view of a child, in a certain approach to "Among The Sleep".

With a solid script and fewer unrelenting jump scares than the original game, Layers of Fear: Inheritance offers closure for both the player and characters.
