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?

A Resident Evil clone that looks gorgeous, but the jank is apparent as soon as you start playing. Movement of yourself and enemies is jittery. An aiming system that's worse than even the original 1996 Resident Evil (I'd say on par with 1993's Alone in the Dark!)
That would still make it an okay experience were it not for one game-ruining feature. It uses the same limited save item system as Resident Evil's ink ribbons, but it is HORRENDOUSLY stingy with them. You only get one in the entire first 90 minutes. Die at any point (thanks to the atrocious targeting), and you're replaying the last 30-90 minutes. The frequency of save items doesn't get better from there. Old school Resident Evil games were never THIS bad with limited saves.
The one and only way this game is playable is using the console commands to cheat yourself unlimited save items. Bump it up to 3 stars in that case, but absolutely do not bother otherwise.
Not sure there's an indie game as faithful to the original RE style with as much quality. It has tank controls (modern as well), fixed camera angles, and a lot of retro design choices that make the game more difficult. I enjoyed the difficulty a lot, the puzzles are way more clever than most games and there's a decent amount of them. Resources feel scarce especially at the beginning, especially with save items.
Took me about as long as a playthrough of RE2 did, which was less than RE1 I think. The mansion in this game has fewer rooms than RE1 but they are much more detailed and beautiful. The environment is gorgeous! You can tell from the character models that it's an indie game, but the textures and especially the lighting are amazing. The light and shadows are so creepy and create an incredible atmosphere along with the music/sound.
There's some really interesting ideas in this game's story as well. If you want something horrific and disturbing you won't be disappointed.
