Layers of Fear: Create your own Magnum Opus

"The only important thing you've ever wanted... BUY IT."

Explore a Victorian mansion covered in artwork by The Painter, whose sanity is crumbling and cracking just like an old oil painting on a canvas. Search the ever-changing house for the materials you need to complete your masterpiece, all the while trying to escape your past.

Inheritance DLC: Confront your past

"I was once told that madness runs in my family... It's time for it to stop."

Told through the eyes of the painter's daughter, you search for answers. What secrets does this house hold? Will you ever be able to understand the madness that took hold of your father? Will you be able to forgive him? The mansion may hold all the answers... provided you're willing to relive your past.

The Final Note DLC: Dig even deeper

A brand new DLC designed to unravel the mystery surrounding the painter, his muse and the family's past. The Final Note tells the story from the point of view of the painter's wife. This new angle could change the way you perceive the characters from the first game, as well as their actions.
