Tormented Souls 2 brings classic survival horror to Nintendo Switch 2

Tormented Souls 2, developed by the Chilean studio Dual Effect, has arrived on the Nintendo Switch 2. The game is a survival horror title that adheres to classic 1990s design principles, featuring fixed camera angles, resource management, and intricate puzzles reminiscent of the Resident Evil and Silent Hill series.

The narrative follows Caroline Walker as she seeks to help her sister, Anna, at the remote Villa Hess. The gameplay emphasizes slow exploration and tension through environmental storytelling and limited visibility. The Switch 2 version supports both television and handheld modes, accommodating the game's methodical pace.

The production of the game highlights the role of institutional support in Chile, where the Ministry of Cultures, Arts and Heritage provides funding and promotion for the audiovisual sector, allowing smaller studios to pursue creative projects for the international market without strictly following modern industry trends.
