Remothered: Tormented Fathers Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
When traditional and modern horror games mix, you get a game like Remothered: Tormented Fathers. A third-person horror venture into a decrepit manor to uncover the hidden secrets of the residents and find a missing girl. Remothered is clearly a passion project by devoted indie developers, but does it offer the pure horror experience it promises, or does it fall short? Read on and find out!
Horror games, or rather, survival horror games have become popular following the release of the original Resident Evil back in 1996, but the Capcom developed game was hardly the first horror title to ever be released. Aside from the popular Alone in the Dark, horror fans had already enjoyed a truly unnerving experience with the Clock Tower series. Remothered: Tormented Fathers has been heavily inspired by the latter, offering an excellent horror experience without resorting to jump scares, which have lately become one of the staples of the horror and survival horror genres.
In modern gaming, there are few figures more decisive than David Cage, creator of Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human. The French game designer comes with a lot of baggage, but his experimental style and obsession with independent cinema make his games singularly unique. Enter Chris Darril, a young Italian artist with many of the same sensibilities as Cage, but arriving fresh on the game scene with none of the complicated history. Remothered: Tormented Fathers is his first major foray into video game auteurship and it’s as fresh and exciting as it is weird and complicated.
Despite its flaws, Remothered; Tormented Fathers is a step in the right direction for survival horror. Horror fans should give the game a serious look.
An effective homage to Clock Tower that manages to create a similar sense of helplessness even if it doesn’t improve on the formula in any notable way.
Remothered: Tormented Fathers has plenty of terrifying potential, but a convoluted story, repetitive gameplay, and questionable voice acting handicap its chances of being truly great.
