Rather than just picking up an item, going to where it’s needed and then selecting that item in a menu – the flexibility provided by the new overlaid Inventory system allows puzzles to more closely resemble those found in Escape Rooms than traditional videogames. Seeing the forgotten remnants of past residents gives it an added touch of mystique, but also the echo of a time when it was filled with living, breathing people, making the nightmares that now infest it all the more disturbing. A great level of attention has been put into each room and corridor with the designers giving it a lived-in, but recently abandoned, feeling. As you progress through its rundown and decaying interiors, the secrets you uncover about the location turns the mansion itself into a main character. Instead, it may actually surpass them in one or two key areas while forging its own identity.Īll your time in Tormented Souls is spent in the aforementioned gothic mansion and you’ll quickly learn that all is not as it seems.
Comparisons with early Resident Evils, Silent Hills and Alone in the Darks are natural given the genre (and the devs themselves have explicitly stated that they are direct inspirations), but while there are a number of direct call-backs to the godfathers, Tormented Souls doesn’t rely on nostalgia alone in order to impress. Tormented Souls is a 3rd person, fixed (but dynamic) camera angle Survival Horror game.
