You know what's always a great idea? Returning to your insane painter father's creepy mansion that's full of a lot of really bad memories. Yeah, not really.
Layers of Fear was described as a "psychedelic horror game" where you played as a painter who was looking to finish his Magnum Opus. As it turns out, your character had gone to….considerable lengths to get that done and suffice it to say, it wasn't nice. Enter Inheritance.
Layers of Fear: Inheritance is an expansion on the base game where you play as the painter's daughter who has returned to the mansion from the first game after years of being away to reconcile her past. Publisher, Aspyr Media released a launch trailer for the expansion today along with the announcement that they will be releasing Layers of Fear: Masterpiece Edition, a package containing both the base game and the Inheritance expansion.
Here are the main features of Layers of Fear: Inheritance:
- A completely new narrative experience that expands the story of Layers of Fear
- Explore the painter’s house from his daughter’s perspective
- Two distinct endings based on how you play the game
- A return to the terrifying and psychedelic experience that you loved from the base game
Layers of Fear: Inheritance launches next week on August 2nd on Steam, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 and retails for only $4.99.
