Like in Silent Hill games, Tormented Souls features two dimensions - real and alternative. The inventory system used in the game brings to mind classic Resident Evil. She has the ability to explore individual objects and collect items necessary to solve some of the puzzles or gain access to more rooms. The main character wanders through the locations in order to find any information that would help her figure out who she really is and why she was imprisoned. The main goal of the game is to explore a huge mansion, solve logic puzzles and fight different types of monsters. Soon after her release, she realises she has lost all her memories and begins to wander the corridors, trying to remember who she is and understand the purpose of her imprisonment in this mysterious, eerie mansion. Seven days later she awakens suddenly - connected to a strange, decaying apparatus, completely naked and submerged in a bathtub filled with musty water. While searching the building, she is attacked and knocked unconscious by an unknown person. Caroline Walker, the protagonist, has to solve the disappearance of her two sisters and goes to Wildberger Mansion, an abandoned residence turned into a hospital, where she hopes to gain some valuable information. The game is set in the fictional Winterlake. Tormented Souls was developed by independent studio Dual Effect, while PQube released it. However, there are some improvements - the camera is more dynamic and the control scheme has been modernised. The style of the game strongly refers to such classics as Resident Evil, Silent Hill or Alone in the Dark, keeping the elements that made them popular.

Tormented Souls is a classic survival horror action adventure game, in which the action is presented from a third person perspective (TPP).
