Researching before buying - the app says "offers in-app purchases" - Do you have to buy them in order to enjoy the game?

I would say no, however I'll list what you basically get with and without the extra purchases.Without any purchases you get:-8 characters with different abilities. They're pretty balanced characters.-a large amount of figurines.-a large amount of double-sided map tiles.-4 scenarios. This is the only one that feels like you might want more. I've done multiple play-throughs with different people and it's fun each time. The only downside is you already know the plot. 2 of the 4 scenarios use different map tiles each time, (meaning the layout of the house changes, selecting 1 out of like 4 different pre-constructed maps.) The total amount of hours to complete them all, depending on group size/speed would be around 12-15 hours.Now, the in-app extra content basically adds these perks:-in app purchases cost about $5.00 each and you get a new scenario. They only have 1 scenario like this so far. I'd say it's worth the $4.00, but not necessary to enjoy it.There are also 2 different purchasable extra content packs that are actual physical boxes filled with new stuff. I personally enjoy them a lot, but again, are not necessary for fun. You check a box in the app to say you have each one and it will know to integrate the new content with the old. Here's what they each come with:-8 new characters per extra content pack (bringing the total number of playable characters to 24.) This brings a lot more fun variety and replay ability, but really isn't necessary.-Several new figurines. The monsters you encounter will be more varied. It's a fun but not necessary perk.-Several new map tiles. Not necessary, but will add even more variations of maps for scenarios.-1 new scenario per content pack you purchase. Each scenario specifically making a map around the new tiles.My honest opinion is that everything they add onto the game for you to buy is well done and absolutely adds to the fun, but not necessary to have fun. The base game comes with enough.

So, this is the same game as the original with some enhancements/updates, and not a totally different game, correct?

It's different and the same. The basic premise remains, but the Keeper is now controlled by the app and there has been a fair amount of changes to the mechanics. The tile layouts monsters and non-plot critical events are randomized. The missions are different than the first edition all together, but if you have the first edition you can still use the characters tiles and monsters in the second edition to give you more variety. In the end it's a far more streamlined experience with much less setup and tear-down time.

Are the campaigns replayable? Will there be more added?

They are replayable, though I'm not sure to what extent. The game seems to somewhat randomly generate the map as you replay. I've also heard there are alternate story paths and endings. As to more quests, Fantasy Flight has announced two expansions (https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2016/8/12/a-horror-without-end/) that will include more quests, tiles, and figures, but it's unknown if they'll add more free quests or a quest creator.
