Many developers have tried to replicate the magic of the Resident Evil and Silent Hill series, often with little success. That’s why Tormented Souls, by Chilean studio Abstract Digital Works, is so refreshing. This indie survival-horror experience effectively recaptures the best parts of Resident Evil, utilizing fixed camera angles, a densely packed setting to explore, and tank controls that somehow feel modern. But above all else, Tormented Souls is tremendously scary, encapsulating nearly everything that makes horror games work so well.
