    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.

    The dlc is short, can be completed in 20 minutes or so (the first time can take almost an hour), it has multiple endings and if you are interested in the base game's story, it complements a lot by showing more information about the father and mother .
