#Tormented souls series

Speaking of conclusions, there are a few possible endings, but they’re not hugely different. It does a good job in helping you piece everything together so that by the end, you feel satisfied with the conclusion. Quite why everyone leaves such notes scattered around in the strangest of places is beyond me, but fans of the genre will feel comfort in finding all these extremely well-written notes everywhere. NPCs aren’t very frequent, meaning that a lot of it is done through environmental storytelling and notes that are scattered around. It’s all done rather well, and even the more predictable elements don’t feel out of place. There’s the odd twist and turn here and there, but there are also some story beats that will probably only click with you moments before the reveal. You won’t meet many people along your journey, and the encounters that you do have tend to raise more questions than they answer, but things slowly piece together over time as you gradually explore more of this evil residence. Waking up naked in a bathtub, hooked up to a respirator and with an eye missing, Caroline needs to explore the hospital to find out what’s going on.ĭespite the questionable setup, the story feels like traditional survival horror fare, and unfolds as such. Stupid decisions lead to unfortunate consequences as she promptly gets knocked unconscious soon after arriving. Considering that she never usually gets letters, she feels obliged to go and investigate for herself – especially as the attached photo seems to attach some kind of guilt to Caroline herself. The story opens with the protagonist, Caroline, receiving a letter about two girls who disappeared at the Winterlake Hospital. Many thanks to PQube for the review code. Not only is it a great indie title, which is our bread and butter, but it’s also a love letter to one of my favourite genres: survival horror. Tormented Souls was originally just a game in the review queue, but I never expected to love the game so much.

The answer was served to me on a plate by PQube.
