Caroline focusing more on finding those girls than saving herself is just confusing. James Sunderland refusing to leave Silent Hill was creepy and tragic because it hammered in that he had nothing left to live for. Gradually, she begins to explore the mansion, searching not for a way out but for answers, which made me genuinely question her mental health. The lighter plays an incredibly important role here, as it’s how you can light candles, though you can also find ways to turn on the electricity to certain rooms. You can’t interact with objects or attack your enemies in the dark, which adds a whole new level of tension to the early parts of the game. In comparison, the puzzles are quite well-crafted and probably won’t stump you for more than a few minutes, especially if you’re familiar with old-school survival horror in the vein of classic Resident Evil. Speaking of which, it can be really hard to tell what objects you can and can’t interact with. That said, moving around with a keyboard can be very slow, especially if you’re trying not to miss any objects you can interact with.
The game’s tank controls would definitely shine better with a controller, but I managed to progress with a mouse and keyboard. If you’re a naturally jumpy person like I am, take care going forward. In fact, the first time you see a monster is a jump scare, complete with a scare chord. There aren’t a ton of jump scares in the game, but there are enough. However, if tank controls are a deal-breaker, then this isn’t the game for you. The same goes for jump scares.
If you’ve got a fondness for classic survival horror, you’ll probably enjoy Tormented Souls.
