News: Tormented Souls 2 Sells 100K Copies as Fans Embrace the Terror
Tormented Souls 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed survival horror game from PQube and Dual Effect, has achieved a remarkable milestone by surpassing 100,000 copies sold worldwide since its launch on October 23, 2025. Released just over a month ago, the game has quickly captivated horror enthusiasts with its atmospheric tension, intricate puzzles, and the return of protagonist Caroline Walker. In addition to its sales success, it has garnered over 250,000 Steam wishlists, solidifying its position as one of 2025's standout horror titles. Andy Pearson, Chief Marketing Officer at PQube, expressed delight at the reception, noting the team's high hopes were exceeded and teasing upcoming content announcements in the coming weeks. Players have praised the game for raising the bar in classic survival horror.
Building on the harrowing events of Wildberger Hospital from the first game, Tormented Souls 2 follows Caroline Walker as she seeks a normal life with her sister Anna. However, Anna is plagued by visions of violence and death, leading her to create disturbing drawings that eerily manifest into reality. Desperate to help, Caroline journeys to the remote town of Villa Hess in southern Chile, where a mysterious clinic hides sinister secrets. The sisters soon become ensnared in a new nightmare, uncovering layers of mystery and horror. Players explore a diverse array of unnerving locations, including a shadowy convent, a derelict shopping mall, and an abandoned school, each brimming with dread. A core mechanic allows players to harness supernatural powers to switch between realities, altering the past to reshape the present and navigating the nightmarish 'Other side' for alternate paths. Survival is key, with an arsenal of makeshift weapons like the nailer and chainsaw that can be collected and modified, aided by a new quick select feature for seamless combat switches.
The game's mind-bending puzzles require examining, manipulating, and combining items to reveal hidden clues and forge environmental connections, demanding clever problem-solving. New lethal enemies, from skittering bladed horrors to hulking armored abominations, challenge players, culminating in wits-testing boss encounters. The narrative is shrouded in twists, with encounters involving characters harboring dark secrets and personal agendas. Flexible gameplay options cater to different preferences: classic 90s fixed-camera mode with limited saves and tank controls for purists, or assisted mode for a more accessible experience. Developed by Dual Effect and published by PQube, Tormented Souls 2 is available now on Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Epic Games Store.
