![]() ![]() However, just about every note in Tormented Souls is written in a concise manner that doesn’t take up much time at all to read and are very rarely more than two pages long, all of which are usually just a paragraph long per page. One of my complaints for some of the older survival horror games that tell a story or narrative indirectly through journals and pages is that sometimes the entries can feel a bit long, almost as if reading an actual book. Nothing Tormented Souls does will present itself in an immediately noticeable way, so the way the bathroom section in the opening of the game presents all of this in a small but safe environment is cleverly done but still enough of a challenge to get you familiar to how the game will naturally progress without ever explicitly stating what to do or where to go, and having the exploration speak for itself through a plethora of notes placed sporadically that tell the tale of prior events that are clearly twisted and ill-intentioned. ![]() Right away the locked bathroom you’re in is a great introduction to the mechanics of the game and how to navigate menus, make use of the combination system, reading your environment for answers to puzzles (like lock combinations), and more, though it’ll definitely feel familiar – and in some cases completely natural – to those that grew up with these sorts of titles in the late 90s and early 2000s, even down to the sound effects, design, and prompts of each item, note, or interaction done in your inventory. ![]() Through your fight for survival, however, tons of areas will be closed off or require some sort of understanding or procedure to move forward, so puzzles will play a large part of Tormented Souls as you look for a way out and uncover the mysteries of the environment and beings around you. Lost, confused, and unaware of her surroundings, she must explore, uncover, and survive as she makes her way through a mysterious mansion and ward that’s riddled with grotesque beings and supernatural forces that will do anything to make your life a living nightmare. Tormented Souls puts players into the shoes of Caroline Walker, who suddenly wakes up one day naked in a tub and hooked up to a respirator as if she’s being preserved for some sort of experiment, all while looking for the mysterious disappearance of twin girls who have caught her interest. ![]()
