![]() The imagery used in statues, paintings, even level design have a way of giving you an uneasy feeling. The scenery of the mansion is just simply amazing, no other way to put it. Yes it has an outdated look and feel to it, but everything is masterfully done in a way to still be modern. The visuals are where I could tell it took a really talented team to put this game together. For example reading a journal entry that has a second meaning, or a character randomly mentioning something about a heart or missing piece. Not only that, but a majority of the puzzles you don’t even realize are pieces. Instead a puzzle may come together in pieces over several parts of the map, and potentially over a lengthy period of time playing. The interesting thing I found with the game is puzzles are not tied to specific rooms, or even specific areas of the mansion. Then later sitting by the door you can be wondering “how the hell do I open it?” Once it clicks everything becomes an “oh yeah!” moment, and it’s so fun. For example you are given a tool that opens a door on the other side of the map, but when you are given the tool you are left wondering what the hell it’s for. Puzzles come together via anything you interact with, read, or hear a character say. The game doesn’t have any type of hand holding instead you just need to pay attention. The puzzles are not always straightforward and a majority of the game is spent simply figuring out why something is placed the way it is, or what reason the game gave you an item. ![]() The puzzles are honestly my favorite part of the game, and it’s been a very long time since a game has done them this well. The Puzzles Will Lead You All Over The Mansion It’s hard to tell where a technical error is because the team behind the game literally ripped out every nostalgic thing about old horror titles and blended it together for one great game. Yet all of it is polished in a way that makes it clear these elements have been handled purposefully with modern audiences in mind. Tormented souls sticks with a fixed camera, older style graphics, and odd animations that are clearly evocative of older horror games. Developer: Dual Effect, Abstract DigitalĪvailable On: PS5 (October Release for PS4, Xbox One X (series X) and Nintendo Switch) If you look at Dad and ask why he likes old clunky games, this one is probably not your style. If you grew up with the thrills of the original Resident Evil, or were scared in Silent Hill, then Tormented Souls is 100% the game for you. Let me say this first: Tormented Souls isn’t for everyone. Tormented Souls blends everything we love about old-school horror so masterfully it’s been the most fun experience I’ve had in a very long time. However, what’s most important is to pay attention to the ritual that’s taking place in the Operating Room through the window.If you’ve been dying for old school survival horror, like the good ole days of Silent Hill, you might want to check out Tormented Souls. Once in the hall, take the path to the left and enter the Observation Room. The door ahead will take you to the West Wing Hall. Enter the West Wing Corridor and proceed past the elevators. With those particulars out of the way, it’s time to get down to business. Also, you’re really going to want to have the shotgun by now if you want to survive what awaits in the Operating Room.Īlright then. Just keep in mind, before you can get the hatch open, you’ll need to have already opened the Library door and restored power to the West Wing by solving the fuse puzzles. However, you’ll need to solve a puzzle and get your hands dirty before you can get your hands on this razor-sharp item. The Scalpel is found in the Operating Room. To cut through the rope, you’re going to need to get your hands on a Scalpel. Good thing Tormented Souls takes place in a hospital, where cutting implements are never far away! Sadly, your lighter can’t burn through it, so you’re going to need something sharp to cut your way through. In the Service Area next to where you obtained the Shotgun Part A, you’ll find a hatch that’s tightly secured with rope.
