On top of being nominated for five categories at this year’s Horror Game Awards, PQube and Dual Effect’s Tormented Souls II has more good news to announce, having surpassed 100,000 units sold since its release back on October 23. Not only that, but the devs are teasing more content headed fans’ way in the coming weeks.
“After the success of the first game, we had high hopes for the sequel—especially given the incredible work Dual Effect put into crafting such a strong follow-up,” says PQube chief marketing officer Andy Pearson. “We’ve been blown away by the reception. We’re also working on some exciting new content and will have news in a few weeks… so keep your eye(s) peeled…”
Original Tormented Souls protagonist Caroline Walker returns after her ordeal at Wildberger Hospital. Yearning for a normal life, Caroline is dealt another bad hand when her sister Anna falls victim to a mysterious affliction. When conventional remedies prove ineffective, Caroline looks to the supernatural and an ancient, forbidden ritual for a cure, leading her to the remote South-American community of Puerto Miller.
Founded centuries ago by the secretive Ismuit tribe, Puerto Miller is home to the aforementioned minor religious order that spurned connection with the outside world. As these things go, beneath the town’s crumbling façade lies an ancient, unspeakable horror.
Fortunately, Caroline has an expanded range of weapons at her disposal, and can also take advantage of the new quick select feature that allows her to switch weapons in the heat of battle. Players also have access to new upgrade components to further strengthen her arsenal.
Tormented Souls II is available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series.
