While investigating the disappearance of twin girls at Winterlake, something terrible happens to Caroline Walker.

A Nod to the Classics
Tormented Souls draws inspiration from classic survival horror like From Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Alone in the Dark. A modern take on the fixed-perspective action-adventure game, Tormented Souls offers a modernised control scheme and dynamic camera combined with classic gameplay.
Deadly Combat
Dark forces and unspeakable horrors will do everything in their power to stop Caroline getting to the truth. Use anything and everything that you can find to fight back against evils lurking in the darkness.
Keep Your Wits About You
You'll need much more than a steady aim and sharp reflexes to make it out alive. Search the environment for anything you can use to your advantage. Combine items to solve twisted puzzles and use every resource available to explore the secrets of the mansion and its grounds.
Fiendish Puzzles
Scavenge essential resources and tools, decipher clues from long-forgotten journals, and combine it all to solve fiendish puzzles and get to the bottom of the mansion's sordid history.
Another Dimension
Nothing is quite as it seems at Winterlake. Mirrors provide a path to an alternate reality and another place in time. By crossing these shimmering gateways, Caroline can manipulate the very fabric of reality in surprising ways.
You Are Not Alone In the Dark
The mansion may seem abandoned, but as Caroline investigates its secrets, dark forces and unspeakable horrors will do everything in their power to stop her getting to the truth. Be sure to be alert at all times, and use anything you can find to fight off the encroaching terrors of Winterlake. Just remember: gaze into the darkness, and it also gazes into you...
Can Caroline Walker discover the truth and escape with her life?

I have ran into several bugs that ruin my experience and make me soft locked and I have to reset losing progress. Never the less the puzzles that genuinely infuriate because they have no indication on how they would exist. Not even silent hill puzzles would do this, they would give you some form of hint to indicate what you are doing is correct, this game fails at even that. And so far its not even felt like survival horrro considering the fact I pumped lead into several enemies, but my ammo doesn't even feel scarced.
Excellent game, great gameplay, fun and intriguing. Maybe, not the best story ever written, but interesting enough to keep playing until the end.
Loved the gameplay, the graphics and the homage to survival horror classics.
I'll be playing the secong part for sure!
This was done to be played with a controller, not a mouse and keyboard. It's nothing but a pain to try to do that. If you wish a console game, maybe this is for you. Otherwise, it just comes across as a lazy, cheap port.
I’ve never really played the games that Tormented Souls takes inspiration from. Both Resident Evil and Silent Hill were always titles I associated with consoles, and the only survival horror I’d seriously played before this was Alan Wake. But it’s clear that Tormented Souls draws heavily from those games.
TS is a pure survival horror with a high emphasis on puzzles. You play as a fragile young woman trapped in a mysterious mansion with no clear way out. The puzzles here are genuinely well-designed. Some, like the ones involving the "WD-40", the monkeys, or the floppy disk, were quite clever. Others require thorough exploration of every room in search of clues, which can be both rewarding and occasionally exhausting, because of how save system is implemented here. Not only you can only save in a very specific safe rooms, each save also requires a consumable item. It definitely adds tension, because you’re constantly wondering whether to backtrack and save or push a little further. But it can also be frustrating, especially as the map expands and it’s easy to lose track of where you need to go next. I often wished there were a simple “save&quit” option, because every time I sat down to play Tormented Souls, I knew I needed at least half an hour to play.
Enemies here don’t really respawn, so once you clear a room it is generally safe, and the tension is maintained through beautiful visuals, excellent lighting, an eerie soundtrack, and great sound design. At some point, though, the fear factor starts to fade. Your arsenal grows and is more deadly, and what was once a terrifying encounter becomes more of a shooting gallery, and the chilling atmosphere of wandering dark corridors with only a lighter to guide you starts to slip away a bit. I’m taking off one star for these small issues, but overall, I really enjoyed my time with it. Tormented Souls is a great pick for anyone looking for a spooky, old-school horror experience, especially during the Halloween season.
