Tormented Souls is a survival horror game developed by Dual Effect and Abstract Digital, first released in 2021. Players take the role of Caroline Walker, who travels to the isolated Winterlake mansion-turned-hospital after receiving a photograph of two conjoined twin girls who went missing there decades earlier. Waking up submerged in a tank inside the building, Caroline finds the mansion twisted into a decaying, hostile version of itself.
The game deliberately revives conventions from late-1990s survival horror: fixed camera angles, deliberate tank-style movement, limited saves, and careful inventory management sit alongside puzzle design built around mirrored rooms, body manipulation, and object combination. Combat is scarce and resources are tight, keeping exploration of the interconnected mansion tense throughout.
This physical PlayStation 5 release is published by PQube and includes the enhanced current-generation version of the game, with improved load times and visual updates over the original PS4/PC release. It is a standalone title, distinct from its sequel, Tormented Souls II.
