Sometimes life can be turned upside-down by something as simple as a letter. Was my experience bliss, or did I leave the experience tormented? Read on and find out, if you're brave enough! As a fan of the genre who cut his teeth on Alone in the Dark 3 way back in the day, I was stoked. Imagine my excitement when I came across Tormented Souls, a game that pays homage to the classics by sticking to the model they pioneered. As time went on and hardware became more and more capable, developers slowly distanced themselves from this format, but one could argue that what we've gained in freedom of movement and eye candy, we've lost in atmosphere. Fixed camera angles and pre-rendered backgrounds allowed them to give players a good scare without breaking the resource budget and, as an unintended consequence, led to the birth of a brand new genre - the survival horror. Games like Resident Evil have burned themselves into the memories of gamers as the gold standard of what horror should be, in spite of hardware limitations of the time. In the early days of gaming it was difficult to convey the sense of dread with pixels - it wasn't until the 3D era that we finally saw games truly capable of replicating the atmosphere we know, love and fear so much.
