It’s a terrifically terrifying love letter to Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Alone in the Dark. Punishes you for mistakes.“If you love classic survival horror titles, Tormented Souls needs to be on your radar. It forces you to plan your actions and decisions. Historically survivor horror game doesn't have autosave (which is pretty clear since you find tapes to save up your progress) - this is the fundamental aspect of the game. Respect yourself and switch the brain on before talking. I lost all the progress because I got stuck on a puzzle in the room with the priest (you cant pull the boards off the room with the crowbar, because its dark if you put your lightrer away), then I ended up in darkness and couldnt get my lighter out and so when back to an upstairs room where I'd found a tape machine.

Please implement some checkpoint system or even a manual save and load thing even better. Only to then find there is no checkpoint or autosave system, the only save was from about an hour ago when i was in the first area. that noise when you get in the darkness the noise which plays is EXCESSIVELY loud!!!!!!) Originally posted by Bitcoin Baron:So I got killed by darkness which in itself is weird (p.s. I'm currently playing Them and Us, which is so insanely stingy and barely gives you enough causing you to replay huge chunks and I'm also playing Alisa which is negligible and a non issue (costs 1 'coin' and you typically get 3-6 coins per enemy killed.) Personally I think this system is fine and right down the middle of either extreme. Can even use that to add 100 or so save items to the inventory if it's just the *amount* of saves themselves which is the turnoff. My proposal was to move like 3 or 4 of the tapes from mid-to-endgame back toward the start somewhere, and maybe add another Tape+recorder in the first room with the Priest in the basement.īut yeah as was posted already there is the cheatcode that folk can use if they're still stuck. This is true, from most of the threads around here back when the game launched it was the general consensus that most of us ended the game with 7~10 tapes unused in our inventory. Originally posted by Myztkl©-Kev:there's nothing wrong with the tape system, they just need to balance it better, the first half of the game, tapes are slim, by the end of the game, I had like 7 extra. And if at first it gives tension, later it just irritatesīut still, despite frustration i finally finished demo after many retries, so there is something in this game that attracts people, heh. However, it's combination of all that together that makes experience very tiring. you just get cornered lol.Īlso puzzles have problem with being more Myst-like than survival horror-like so some of them will screw your to agony due to hints being too multi-interpretable etc.Īll of these issues are not critical themselves, especially for someone who played horrors for years. Like sure you can abuse dodge much for i-frames, but you still have so freaking long cooldown frame disadvantage after everythig you do AND your weapons are very weak so enemies feel bulletsponge AND often you cant interrupt their attack so you hit but they also hit you AND the most 'fun' when thanks to camera angles etc. It would not be so much an issue if not for combat here being more clunky than 90s games even were, lol. Most survival horror games didnt have ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tape mechanic (as they had just save rooms here and there) and when they had, they gave you 2 or 3 tapes each time, and not one.
