A love letter to classic survival horror
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.
