The developers had fun with the weapons, which was cool to see, as they weren’t the conventional guns from other titles. Your main weapon will be a nailgun, but you also can put together a shotgun later in the game. I ended up finding my way after a while, but it felt like I was spending too much time on these menus.Įnemies in the game can be tough, but the game has an extremely helpful auto-aim feature. Sadly, the organization of these notes is tough to understand as they are separated by type and then categorized in a strange order. Unlike Resident Evil, there’s no highlighted text to point out the important terms, so it’s up to you read them. Files and notes are found around the rooms, and they need to be read. They put so much onto the player to sell the experience that there’s no handholding in this adventure. The developers created a map system that doesn’t really tell you where you are or which rooms you haven’t visited to further the confusion. I suggest playing without a guide, though, as the enemies don’t respawn, and there’s no time limit for exploration. These puzzles will easily turn the 5 – 8 hour game into a 15-hour experience. Unfortunately, the puzzles can become obtuse in some moments as you run around in circles hoping to have an item that can help you progress. The developers do everything they can to force players to experiment with unconventional means of interacting with the environment to push their understanding of the genre. Tormented Souls will challenge the player through puzzles and limited direction. There is voice acting for all the characters, but this just adds to the campy nature as the sentence structure is broken up, similar to the original Resident Evil. The story becomes clearer as you collect clues and progress through the mansion, but I would have liked a prologue chapter where we get to see a day in Caroline’s life just to understand her more. You’re just supposed to believe that this is the type of person she is, and she’ll take on all the horrors and puzzles thrown at her in the cutest dress she owns. Sure, she’s smart, but her self-motivated attitude is tough to fully understand. I have to commend Caroline for even getting into this adventure in the first place. The story defines campy horror as Caroline interacts with a sus priest who happens to be the only person around to answer her questions. However, it would be great if that was the worst thing that happened to her, but sadly, she’s in for a nightmare. However, once she arrives at the Mansion turned hospital, she is knocked out and awakens naked in a bathtub. The contents of the note showed two twin girls being kept at Winterlake, and Caroline takes it upon herself to investigate. Tormented Souls begins with a letter sent to our protagonist Caroline Walker.
