Remothered: Tormented Fathers
Back to Summary
Top Critic
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.
Top Critic
Overall, Remothered successfully combines stealth and survival horror but the one major drawback is the audio feedback when exploring the Felton residence.
Top Critic
Lovers of classic terror will feel that Remothered: Tormented Fathers, despite the lack of variety of situations, is a good tribute to the genre and we can't wait for its continuation.

Remothered: Tormented Fathers is a short yet sweet horror game that mixes stealthy gameplay with an incredibly creepy story. There are plenty of twists and turns that won't leave you disappointed. You can happen upon some terrifying moments depending on how you play, which makes you want to see more. This is meant to be the first game in a trilogy, and with what I've seen here, I'm excited to learn more about this world.

A great psychological story set inside a creepy mansion. It may not be perfect but Remothered: Tormented Fathers does just enough to keep your interest up until the very end.
Top Critic
A survival horror with strong adventure components that perfectly balances non-scripted AI with puzzles and a cohesive tale. [OpenCritic note: Mario Baccigalupi separately reviewed the PC (8.2) and PS4 (8.4) versions. His scores have been averaged.]

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.
Top Critic
Remothered generates just as much frustration as it does atmosphere, making it one of those games that you want to love but can't because it just keeps kicking you in the face.
Top Critic
In the first few hours, it might scare you, but when you get used to the gameplay and its tricks, you’ll find yourself experiencing some cheap horror elements that more often than not are merely stressful.

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.
Remothered: Tormented Fathers is a horror game that has potential but lets too many small issues bring it down. Its story keeps you on your toes but only after wading through the sometimes murky gameplay.
