“Excellent old-school vibe if you grew up with RE/Silent Hill-style games, while sometimes camera angles can be disorienting. We get challenging puzzles but combat and controls feel outdated. The story concept is solid…”

“Stunning and incredibly suspenseful. I'd definitely recommend, even if there are minuses. [list] [*]Smarter AI would be a plus ([b]Tormented Souls 2[/b] already got this). [*]Seems capped @ 90 FPS on my side. [/list]”

“Genuinely the best indie horror game I've ever played despite me being too dumb for a lot of the puzzles. Is it perfect? No, but it still blows most other horror games nowadays out of the water.”
“While not as good as your traditional Resident Evil or Silent Hill game, it does have its charm to it. Especially if you loved the old school survival horror games and elements. Puzzles were a decent challenge and while…”

“Tormented Souls was really good from start to finish. the sound track, the visuals, the environment and the enemy design although reused a lot throughout, were all very good. The Story was good as well, didn't feel like…”
