Solid epilogue to Layers of Fear that wraps up the storyline nicely. While it doesn't innovate the original game, the perspective of the daughter is unique and interesting if you enjoyed the main story. Unfortunately, re-exploring the house just isn't as enjoyable as it was in the first playthrough, as the majority of the mysterious atmosphere disappears. Inheritance attempts to address this through childhood memories, but only with minimal success. The best parts of the hour-long DLC were (1) the endings, which I felt wrapped up the Layers of Fear story excellently, and (2) most of the additional soundtracks, which were just as great as the original game's. While the Inheritance is definitely worth a playthrough if you enjoyed Layers of Fear, don't expect anything more than an epilogue with the same mechanics and themes.
