What an episode… such long… much wow.

DLC Horror Rating: ☠☠☠☠ (4/5 Skulls)

DLC Review: ★★★★ (4/5 Stars)
For a DLC this was fairly lengthy. Based on the original Layers of Fear story, yet completely different, Inheritance follows a young woman – our LoF protagonists’ daughter – as she re-enters her old home to, as she says, “banish the insanity from her family line”. She doesn’t seem to succeed quite as well and we follow her down a road of memories, good and bad (but mainly bad).
As with the base game, sound, voice acting, graphics and storyline were great, however I did miss the creepy feeling the original gave me even in moments of apparent beauty and relaxation.

“The reason I talk to myself is because I’m the only one whose answers I accept.”
― George Carlin

We seem to be going through distorted versions of our past reality as a child in the house as we attempt to follow a cake-loving-doll-looking-child up ropes and help Mr. Scooter on his feet again.

Episode 07: A Deadly Mind
⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫
“Maybe each human being lives in a unique world, a private world different from those inhabited and experienced by all other humans. . . If reality differs from person to person, can we speak of reality singular, or shouldn’t we really be talking about plural realities? And if there are plural realities, are some more true (more real) than others? What about the world of a schizophrenic? Maybe it’s as real as our world. Maybe we cannot say that we are in touch with reality and he is not, but should instead say, His reality is so different from ours that he can’t explain his to us, and we can’t explain ours to him. The problem, then, is that if subjective worlds are experienced too differently, there occurs a breakdown in communication … and there is the real illness.”
― Philip K. Dick

Very rapidly our journey through the dark mind of the artist in Layers of Fear ends… with the deepest and darkest layer of fear yet.

Game Horror Rating: ☠☠☠☠☠ (5/5 Skulls)

Game Review: ★★★★★ (5/5 Stars)
What to say about this game… I’m not even really sure where to begin. The game started out so nice and calm and then suddenly turned into a living nightmare – just the way we horror freaks like it.

Layers of Fear is a first person atmospherical horror game that takes psychological horror to a new level. Each part of the game is scarier than the last, reaching from a relaxing and nice atmosphere to a nightmare one just wishes to escape. I’m partially sad and happy that I’ve completed the game for this exact reason.
The various and often unexpected jumpscares really hit the spot and with the atmosphere and the great use of silence as a source of anxiety one responds severely even to things that aren’t in any way frightening under different circumstances.
The story is addictive and well written, yet confusing. One somewhat finds out what’s going on but what’s truly the matter remains unknown… to me anyways.
The graphics are absolutely great. Nothing more to say to that.
The sounds and atmosphere was extremely intense.
The gameplay took some getting used to for me, but it was alright once I’d figured it out a little.

Bottom line: I’ll definitely play Inheritance and can only recommend this game to any horror lover.

“No power so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.”

We meet “her”, and I believe that our meetings were anything but nice.

“The journey I’m taking is inside me. Just like blood travels down veins, what I’m seeing is my inner self and what seems threatening is just the echo of the fear in my heart.”
― Haruki Murakami

It appears that our ever-changing world is becoming more shadowy and gloomily by the second. Every room we enter seems to take us further into the darkness inside our own mind.
