Tormented souls6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() The controls of Tormented Souls are somewhat what you expect from a late ’90s survival horror game, but with improvements. Interfacing objects to do certain things for puzzles adds another layer of difficulty. The menu system is derived from Resident Evil, as well, but has been updated to include a touch-interface akin to point-and-click games. ![]() A crowbar can also be used for self defense when low on ammo. She’s initially provided a nail gun while pieces of other weapons are available later on. This allows Caroline to put down her lighter and actually use a weapon to defend herself against the monsters. Most of the hospital is run by generators that need to be powered on. Taking from the Amnesia franchise, if Caroline is exposed to the dark for too long, the shadows will take her and provide instant death. Winterlake Hospital offers tight corridors with a combination of light and dark areas. A puzzle is immediately required to try to get out of the room. Caroline wakes up naked in a bathtub and is missing her right eye. Unfortunately, there are leftover monsters that focus more on the Silent Hill design of horror rather than having zombies. Caroline has a vision and decides to head to Winterlake Hospital, which has been abandoned for some time. You play as a woman named Caroline that’s mailed a photograph of two girls. The setting and plot of Tormented Souls also features a combination of both Resident Evil and Silent Hill. While both of those series have evolved in different directions (and Silent Hill being flat out absent), Tormented Souls is full of tropes that comes from both titles that blend together seamlessly. Tormented Souls takes cues from the likes of the original Resident Evil trilogy and Silent Hill. From the initial load you’re greeted with a familiar warning. Thanks in conjunction with PQube, Abstract Digital Works and Dual Effect, Tormented Souls is a traditional survival horror game that features modern visuals. Those were the days, and the newly-released Tormented Souls looks to bring all of that back with ridiculous puzzles to boot. Games that keep you on the edge all times while entrenching you into their eerie world with atmospheric visuals and audio. A game that makes survival difficult by limiting your means of defense, using fixed camera angles to mimic a movie, and literally pressing forward on a controller to go forward. Imagine, if you will, a time when survival horror games were meant to be an interactive movie. ![]()
