• Minor localization fixes
• Resolved an issue with the Once Upon a Time achievement
• Improved Windows Controller support for the Xbox One controller
• Minor graphic optimizations
Inheritance and Masterpiece Edition out today!
We are proud to announce the release of Layers of Fear: Inheritance!
This DLC continues the Layers of Fear story from a completely different perspective. Play as the daughter some 30 years after the events of Layers of Fear. Return to the house where it all began and relive the nightmare. Will you overcome the madness? Or succumb to it?
We are also proud to announce the Masterpiece Edition for those who are new to Layers of Fear. This bundle includes the DLC and base game at a great price.
Revisit the Madness in Layers of Fear: Inheritance on August 2, 2016
We’re proud to present Layers of Fear: Inheritance, a unique piece of DLC which expands the plot from Layers of Fear and tells the story of the painter’s daughter coming back to her childhood home to face her past. Can she forgive her father, or will she resent all that has happened? Relive her experiences and witness the full scope of the tragedy that has swallowed up the family.
Game features:
- A completely new narrative experience that expands the story of Layers of Fear
- Explore the painter’s house from his daughter’s perspective
- Multiple endings based on how you play the game
- A return to the terrifying and psychedelic experience players loved from the base game
The DLC will also include an update for the base game with tons of fixes for the base game (judder, I'm looking at you). The price of the DLC will be set at $4.99
[EDIT]
As there were some voices of concern about the update fixes - yes the base game will be updated regardless of whether you bought the DLC or not.
See you again in the manor on August 2nd!

Kinda Funny vs Layers of Fear
We are big fans of our friends over at Kinda Funny Games, so we though it would be fun/ny to have them play Layers of Fear in a haunted mansion. Hilarity of course ensues. Viewers have a chance to win one of our super rare Layers of Fear painter's boxes! Enjoy!
