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.

I think that at the end of the day, there is a good game here, but it’s running poorly and could be better experienced somewhere else. This is a huge disappointment because as a player with the Switch as my primary console, I would have liked to experience Remothered: Tormented Fathers as it was on other platforms. But the huge graphical downgrade (which may or may not be remedied), the total failure of handheld mode, the hurdles of trying to read supplemental material, and the presence of glitches all added up to an extremely frustrating experience. Hopefully someday Remothered: Tormented F…

A great horror title that will have you on the edge of your seat and you explore the depths of both the house and the truth.
