    The faults with Remothered lie predominantly in its storytelling, and the question of how important this is to a survival horror game is perhaps up for debate. One thing that is incontrovertible, though, is the fact that Darril Arts and Stormind Games have managed to create an experience in which players' every steps feel fraught with danger, as terror lurks around every corner.

One thing that is incontrovertible, though, is the fact that Darril Arts and Stormind Games have managed to create an experience in which players' every steps feel fraught with danger, as terror lurks around every corner. As a story, there a number of missteps, and things which are perhaps clumsily done, but as a horror experience it does a lot right. Provided the defects aren't hereditary, there's cause to be very excited about Remothered's progeny.… Expand

    Its a horror game with more gameplay than most. Some of it works, some of it doesn't. The AI is quite dynamic for an indie title, with their movements difficult to predict. As is often the case, the unscripted moments that their constant stalking results in, is what typically leads to the best scares.

The AI is quite dynamic for an indie title, with their movements difficult to predict. As is often the case, the unscripted moments that their constant stalking results in, is what typically leads to the best scares. Turning a corner to see an enemy just happening to be stood there caught me out a few times. However, many of the player's tools in these situations are awkward and clunky. Objects that distract often don't function as expected, and there is an overabundance of QTEs (which are always tedious). The level design is certainly unique, and the finding item/key to match the current requirement is functional at maintaining the pacing.

    I think what stands from the game, is its commitment to its plot. There are many cut-scenes for such a short game but the writing and voice acting is often clumsy and naff. The plot as a whole is interesting enough, with pretty solid character development for the game's short duration; except for the protagonist, who mostly just screams, squeals and says "oh god!" repeatedly.

    I think its a worthwhile horror experience but I feel that the developers tried to do too much in such a small game. This criticism applies to its gameplay and plot specifically.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Definitely the constant up and down levels in the begginning become monotonous , butt naked dude just not scary after awhile. I got a bit lost with the story rather complicated , confused where the Creepy nun comes into it since seems all about a mentally deranged family. Game sorta lost me ,why low rating.… Expand

    Remothered: Tormented Fathers is wasted potential. This is supposed to be the start of a trilogy, and hopefully the designers will learn from this mulligan and make something that has a bit more polish next time. Chris Darril's heart is in the right place, and he is proven to be a very capable game designer - the next effort just needs to be more carefully thought out and play-tested.

    My only real complaint with Remothered is just that it would have been great if it were a bit longer. It tells a great overall story, but it felt like it could have been longer. Either way, the game is a definite pickup for survival horror fans that love hide and seek style horror gameplay.

    Remothered: Tormented Fathers is a game that is almost ready to fill the classic horror experience gap, but the issues present are certainly hard to ignore. Should you be able to look past the misguiding sounds and horrendous movement mechanics, then you’ll still be able to find the essence of a quality horror story nestled deep within.
