This feels like a well made love letter to more retro horrors like Resident Evil and Silent Hill and I loved it. Fixed camera angles, OPTIONAL tank controls, collect the limited recording tapes to save, puzzles and a need for good resource management. Positives: + Tormented Souls excels heavily in the atmosphere that it sets! The colour palette, the settings and the lighting really set the game up as an atmospheric horror. Loved the setting and designs of the rooms + Great Sound design! The music is so eerie and other sounds make the game feel very immersive. + Smooth, satisfying game play. + Good puzzles! They give you everything you need to work them out and don't leave anything too vague or down to guess work. + The story is pretty good, though a little predictable + Ammo isn't unfairly scarce. You can afford to kill quite a few enemies safely without your ammo reserves running dry. You will probably struggle if you try to kill literally everything in your path though so play smart and use a crowbar when safe (when they're snoozing) + Dodge mechanic gives you i-frames + Has auto-aim which is a huge help with fixed camera angles + Cool and creepy enemy designs Neutral: * The game is hard. This can be a positive if you like a challenge, or a negative if you don't. I personally found it fun for the most part. Negatives: - It can feel genuinely unfair at times. If you run out of a door where the enemy was trying to hit you close to the door, you can walk in there again and it'll still be in the attacking animation and hit you.

6/10 - Pretty good if you evaluate it as a puzzle game. But if you are unprepared for this house of riddles like i was, you may find their amount overwhelming and get frustrated

Tormented Souls is a fixed camera indie survival horror game that captures the gameplay and atmosphere of classic Resident Evil and Silent Hill. As a true survival horror game, it has challenging puzzles, backtracking, and the eventually decision making about whether to engage or avoid enemies (if you walk, they can't hear you until they see you, so approach the game slowly). While I managed to kill most of them, I believe that with better knowledge of the game, it's entirely possible to avoid many combat encounters. Unfortunately, the game lacks inventory management and it opts for a Silent Hill style system where you can pick up everything you find without problems. There are also three possible endings. The game atmosphere is well made, with a well placed jump scare that really caught me off guard. The fixed camera angles also add an artistic quality to the game, creating unique moments. For example, while walking down a hall, the camera angle shifted to reveal an enemy staring at a wall next to me. The sudden change, combined with the horrible appearance of the creature, gave me a shock I wouldn’t have experienced with a 3rd person over the shoulder camera. The music is fantastic, reminding me of Resident Evil 1, especially the safe room theme. While I truly enjoyed the game, there are areas that could benefit from improvement, hopefully in the sequel which will be released this year (please developers): 1) Adding a feature to mark rooms red if something is incomplete and green when fully explored (like modern Resident Evil titles) would help players, especially newcomers to the survival horror genre. This should be optional for those who prefer a more classic experience. 2) Near the end of the game, an enemy begins to follow you throughtout rooms randomly, but this mechanic can be easily trivialized by simply exiting and reentering rooms, similar to "Alisa". To fix this, I would prevent room exits temporarily when this enemy appears, while reducing its frequency to maintain balance. Alternatively, the mechanic could be removed entirely. 3) The map should display your current location directly, as seen in every other game. Having to identify your position manually by flipping through different maps was frustrating. 4) Files are grouped by their type, which sounds interesting in theory but is frustrating in practice when trying to locate a specific document (like one with a puzzle solution). Additionally, the huge number of documents feels excessive. I would cut half of them. 5) There are only two boss fights in the game, and both are too easy for my standards. 6) The game lacks difficulty settings, modifiers, random modes (like in "Nightmare of Decay") and New Game+. This reduces replayability, unless you want to complete the game two more times to get the other 2 endings (unless you save before the final boss and “cheat” the system) or attempt achievement runs, which I plan to start tomorrow. Extra: This is the first time I’ve seen a fully naked character in a video game without censorship. Just to let you know.

Things I really liked about this game: - visuals - enemy and environment design - a lot of puzzles, pretty indepth ones too Things I had trouble with: - enemies do heavy damage and have crazy big hitboxes - theyre so fast - when you exit and re-enter a room, they don't reset to their spawn point - the persistent pursuing enemy will despawn however if you exit/re-enter - very few resources - I died so fast and hard the game didnt realise, so the game over screen didn't pop up - Protag VA very out of place, takes you out of the experience a little Conclusion: I'm bad at the game Good game for people who want a hardcore survival horror experience

this game is pretty much a love letter to Resident Evil, Silent Hill and Alone in the Dark. I loved the tank controls and fixed camera angles, and this game has some serious survival horror elements to it. However, it seems the development was led by a small team, and as such there are certain bugs and unfinished bits throughout the game. Specifically, the ending was really meh, and the voice acting could have been done better. 8/10 and defo worth it, although by no means perfect.
