I liked this game, mostly. The atmosphere is interesting, although I'm mixed about the camera effect thing that happens during... I dunno, flashbacks?? It seems accurate to the whole "childhood memory" thing, to me anyway, but felt like too much after it went on for awhile sometimes. Overall, it was fun and I played it more than once. However, my real criticism...
I did not like that in Inheritance it was possible to murder my best friend and ally Mr. Scooter. He did nothing wrong and is perfect in every way.
If you are reading this and also do not want to murder Mr. Scooter (my best and most supportive friend who is always there for me), stick to the crayons. He's napping at the top of the toy hill, in the pit where the ball lands when you roll it. You can get all but one ending and avoid committing this heinous crime. He had a family, you monsters.
(Maybe I am too soft, but I legit thought he was really cute and did not want to hurt him, so I quit the game and started the level over to find another path. I think that in order to get the final ending with the sword you have to go up the toy hill, but... I don't need to see it that badly. I'm hoping this helps someone else who is like me, because I searched for a long time to find a way around it and didn't find much info. I mean, he was purring. He trusted me. I am not going to crush him, that's awful.)

Storyline

I’m home, Father. Time takes its toll on everything that surrounds us. It destroys what is physical, crumbling even the sturdiest foundations, and it destroys our minds—our memories—shaping and twisting them into something new. You are never ready to face the past, but the past never lets you go. And so I find myself at the door, the handle disturbingly cold to the touch. I pull it open and enter what was once a place of solitude turned nightmare. I’m home, Father. Layers of Fear: Inheritance expands the plot from Layers of Fear and tells the story of the painter’s daughter, who comes 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. Lead the daughter through what’s left of the mansion and take part in the madness that her father bestowed upon the whole family. Face the memories of her past and shape them into the destiny that awaits her.
