With it being that time of year where people are looking for an experience that’ll get them on edge and throw in some scares with a game like Remothered checks multiple boxes. The stage is set with a creepy mansion and an old man who is thoroughly creepy, where it goes from there is for you to discover. Like many other survival horror games your character isn’t able to be much of an aggressor, you’re generally going to be focused on evading detection and trying to hide while putting together what’s going on and trying to make your escape. Mechanically setting small traps and trying to defend yourself is possible but it’s also a bit clunky, so while there’s some great tension if you’re receptive to the experience others may find it repetitive and frustrating. With more than one option on the system in this same vein I don’t think any aspect of Remothered makes it the clear winner, for the most part I think it ultimately would come down to tastes in how graphic or intense you want your experience, and under that criteria this is pretty middle of the road overall.
