Indie developers Dual Effect are bringing mid-90s chills to an entirely new generation with Tormented Souls 2, out now on PlayStation 5. As heroine Caroline Walker, you’ll explore the decaying town of Villa Hess and face off against its twisted menagerie of new enemies, while searching for your missing sister, Anna.
With the stakes higher than ever, Caroline must call upon the aid of some unlikely allies and assemble a deadly arsenal of improvised weapons in order to survive. But as the inexorable darkness spreads, the boundaries between reality and the hellish ‘Other Side’ begin to blur, revealing a greater terror that threatens to destroy the entire world.
Gameplay Features
- A town full of secrets: Situated in a remote region of southern Chile, the small community of Villa Hess is maintained by its local mining and fishing industries. Caroline awakens to find the town eerily empty and is forced to navigate her way through some truly unsettling environments – from the faded splendour of Lucia’s Convent, to the decrepit amusements of the Galeria Luna Shopping Mall, the imposing mausoleums of the Cemetery, and the echoing corridors of the abandoned High School.
- New threats: While exploring, Caroline soon discovers that she is not alone as the corrupted inhabitants of the town reveal themselves. Tortured fanatics and quadrupedal bladed horrors stalk the shadows, as barnacle-encrusted abominations skitter through ventilation ducts. But beyond reality in the ‘Other Side’ lie the greatest threats: beings of immense power that will require more than firepower alone to overcome.
- Lethal weapons: Caroline will have a greatly expanded range of weapons at her disposal. The Automatic Nailer can unleash a steady stream of razor-sharp rounds while the lethal triple-barreled Hand Cannon will stop even the biggest creatures in their tracks. Caroline can also take advantage of the new quick select feature that allows her to switch weapons in the heat of battle, as well as new upgrade components to strengthen her arsenal further.
Tormented Souls 2 is out now on PlayStation 5. The game is also available in a physical format.
