Tormented Souls may have the word “souls” in its title, but it’s very much in the mold of survival horror games from the mid-to-late ’90s. It attempts to make up for it by throwing plenty of healing items and ammo at you, but this is a game that genre stalwarts will enjoy. The game is let down by poor enemy placement, however. The level and environmental design (barring a dark, dull section at the very end), puzzles, and atmosphere are mostly where they need to be. Tormented Souls, which is almost shameless in its throwback nature, gets much of it right. The resource management, the level design, the puzzle-solving it’s all part of what makes the genre feel so very special. If you don’t use the antidote on the creature at all, though, you’ll get the bad ending.Old-school survival horror games scratch a specific itch that isn’t easy to fill. If you want a more downbeat ending, you can also just go to the door without breaking the chain. Talk to the girl inside, watch the cutscene, and then use the cross-shaped key on the door in the main hall to get the good ending and leave. Go back into that area and use the bolt cutters on the still-smoldering chain. Put in the “experiment” tape where you poured acid on the chain. After you beat the last boss, go back to the meeting room with the VHS player where you time-traveled before.
They’ll fall off the cross and reveal a pair of boltcutters hidden behind. Kill the enemies here and then approach the creature and use the antidote on them. Once you’re close to the end of the game, you’ll meet the priest and notice that the creature that’s been hunting you is on a cross object on the left wall behind him. Now exit back to the area before the compass puzzle and continue playing the game like normal. This is the main item you’ll need to get the good ending in Tormented Souls. Go past them and you’ll find the antidote item. It’s up to you and, if you’ve been thorough and plan on continuing to be thorough, you’ll have enough ammo to take these two down and still kill everything else the game throws at you. You can either attempt to bait them and run past them or kill them. Once you enter this next area, be aware that there are two walkers here. After that, you’ll find yourself free of the labyrinth. Finally, go through the door indicated by the embers altar, before going past the door that West indicates on the compass. Then go through the wooden door, followed by the door that has an altar with soil on it. The next hint mentions being lost at sea, so go through the door that the Northern part of the compass is pointing at. I’m not going to go through each hint, so I’ll just tell you what to do at each step.Īfter going through the gold door, you’ll then go through the door with the empty altar. You need to look at the altars and directions on the map. One of the doors is golden, so that’s the first one you’ll want to go through. The first hint mentions something a man in poverty might want. The way this puzzle works is simple, although it’s more complex than it looks. To solve it, you’ll need to read an inscription that changes with each puzzle step. One of these leads to a door that takes you to a strange room with a compass in the center. Once you’re in this area, there are two ways forward. You don’t want to struggle through hell just to end up with a consolation prize, right? The good ending requires a single missable item that you’ll find after going down the stairs in William’s office. I’m going to lay out everything you’ll need to do to get the game’s best ending. Getting the good one here is pretty easy to do, although it’s still obviously missable. Since Tormented Souls is in the mold of old survival horror games, there is more than one ending to get.
