Hello, Gamers, this time I come to talk about a Survival Horror game that I particularly loved. I played it a long time ago and I didn't remember its name, so yesterday I started to investigate with the data I remembered until I finally found the game. It is an Indie game and probably very few know it but it's a gem that deserves much more recognition. Next, I present to you Remothered: Tormented Fathers.

¡Hola, Gamers en esta ocasión vengo a hablarles sobre un juego de Survival Horror que en lo particular me encantó. Lo jugué hace mucho y no recordaba su nombre por lo que ayer me puse a investigar con los datos que recordaba hasta que al fin di con el juego. Es un juego Indie y probablemente muy pocos lo conozcan pero es una joya que merece mucho más reconocimiento. A continuación, les presento Remothered: Tormented Fathers

The story began when Rosemary Reed arrives at the Felton mansion posing as a worker at a hospital where Richard Felton (owner of the mansion) was previously treated and although Gloria (Mr. Felton's nurse) throws her out of the house arguing that Mr. Felton is no longer a patient at the hospital, the woman insists until Richad Felton agrees to meet with her and they meet in his office, the woman insists until Richad Felton agrees to attend her and they both meet in his office, however the conversation (initially oriented to Mr. Felton's incongruent medical tests) takes a sharp turn when Reed starts talking to the old man about his missing daughter Celeste, Mr. Felton gets upset and they argue, then when Gloria enters the office telling Mr. Felton that she called the hospital where Mr. Felton was a patient and that they claim not to know to Rosemary Reed. Mr. Felton throws Rosemary out and Gloria escorts her out.

La historia se desarrolla cuando Rosemary Reed llega a la mansión Felton haciéndose pasar por trabajadora de un hospital donde Richard Felton (dueño de la mansión) se trataba con anterioridad, y aunque Gloria (la enfermera del señor Felton) la echa de la casa argumentando que el Sr Felton ya no es paciente del hospital, la mujer insiste hasta que Richad Felton acepta atenderla y ambos se encuentran en el despacho de éste, sin embargo la conversación (inicialmente orientada a los análisis médicos incongruentes del señor Felton) toma un giro brusco cuando Reed empieza a hablarle al anciano de su desaparecida hija Celeste, el señor Felton se altera y discuten, es entonces cuando Gloria entra al despacho diciendole al sr. Felton que llamó al hospital y que ellos afirman no conocer a una Rosemary Reed. El sr Felton echa a Rosemary y Gloria la acompaña a la salida.

But Rosemary doesn't give up and waits outside the mansion until she sees Gloria come out, who hides the entrance keys behind a statue. Rosemary takes them and enters the house again. Her intention is to talk to Mrs. Arianna Gallo (Mr. Felton's wife) thinking that maybe she is much more condescending than her husband. Thus, walking through the mansion she arrives at the matrimonial bedroom and upon entering she realizes that Arianna Gallo has been dead for quite some time as her body has signs of advanced decomposition. Rosemary hears Mr. Felton in the bathroom of the room and decides to hide to later see him half naked with an iron hook in his hand caressing the corpse of his wife and calling her "Jennifer".

This is when our nightmare begins, for we must flee from the mansion in which we have been locked from the outside and where the very unhinged Richard Felton is at large.

Title belonging to Chris Darril who wrote and directed the story, referring to the well-known SNES game, Clock Tower. Developed by the studio Stormind Games and under the graphic engine Unreal Engine. A game of Indie origin whose visual and technical beauty stands out among many games of its genre.

Speaking of everything related to the technical section, I can say that the photography of the game is beautiful: the modeling, recreation, color palette, lights, shadows and cameras. Everything is very well worked and cared for, the camera is on the shoulder of our character and we can have the option to change it to the right or left shoulder.

The controls are fluid and very varied, oriented solely and exclusively to stealth (so it is not for everyone, but for players with patience).

We have many objects to interact with: Distraction objects: They are those that are thrown at the head of our pursuer to stun and gain more time or to throw them in the direction we want and redirect our enemy there and have the opportunity to move to where we need. We can only have up to 3 in our inventory. Defense items: They are used to incapacitate the enemy once he catches us, we can only have 1 in the inventory and it is activated with a Quick Time Event, if the enemy catches us without any of these items, an istakill will occur.

We can also improve defense and distraction objects with acid, but we can only make one improvement per object and per type.

We also have the key objects, these allow us to advance in the story, they are the typical Item that must be placed on an object to activate it and be able to access a new area.

The soundtrack plays a very important role in the game because, in addition to being an auditory delight, it's completely interective since, depending on the variation of the melody, it warns us how close the enemies are to our character. Here is an example of it:

We save our progress in a mirror that underneath in a sideboard contains a metronome. In the mirror we can recover our health but in doing so the mirror shatters. What is not clear to me is if the mirror breaks completely if we use it a lot. Despite being a save area, it is not a safe room because if an enemy spots us while we are trying to save or recover health, we must flee because they will still hurt us.

Guardamos nuestro progreso en un espejo que, debajo en un aparador contiene un metrónomo. En el espejo podemos recuperar nuestra salud pero al hacerlo el espejo se desquebraja. Lo que no me queda claro es si el espejo se rompe por completo si lo utilizamos mucho. Pese a ser una zona de guardado, no es una sala segura ya que si algún enemigo nos divisa mientras intentamos guardar o recuperar salud, debemos huir porque igualmente nos harán daño.

Let's talk about enemies. In this part I will only name two of the four that there are, since I don't want to give spoilers of the game. Let's start with the first and main one, Mr. Richard Felton:

A person seriously disturbed by his horrible past, wanders through the mansion wanting to end the danger we represent to him as we threaten to reveal his most guarded secrets. A deep and very well worked character whose design causes us real terror.

Let's talk about the Red nun:

It's a hallucination of our protagonist, even so... it doesn't mean that she doesn't exist. A figure that alternates her sinister dialogues between Italian and English with a guttural voice and carries a sword made of a spine as a weapon. I think this description is enough to make anyone afraid.

The story is sinister, sad, dark and very adult, and it's clear that the game is focused (like all Survival Horror) to an adult audience, however there are teenagers playing this kind of games and it is likely that they don't understand part of the story as it requires maturity to understand it. It also has some loose ends and it is clear that the game was made to be a trilogy of which the second installment is already available. Its characters are very well developed and cared for, the story has depth and is enjoyable. A 10 out of 10.

The setting is tremendous, they play with an oppressive and gloomy atmosphere that puts you in Rosemary's shoes and certainly makes you feel trapped inside the big house.

As for the aspects that I didn't like about the game, there is really only one, and that is that the game is quite short and it is not replayable because, once you learn the places you have to go and where the key items are, the game is over even faster. It has an average length of 5 or 6 hours and about 3 if you already know the game.

In short, Remothered: Tormented Fathers is a pure and hard Survival Horror game in which I assure you plenty of scares, where its sad and terrifying story (besides containing a totally unexpected twist) and its oppressive and gloomy atmosphere will make you love it.

And well, people, this has been all for today's post, I hope you liked it and enjoyed it. Thank you very much to all who support my work and I want to welcome new readers, I love you all very much and I'll meet you in another post.
