Remothered: Tormented Fathers

About Remothered: Tormented Fathers

Remothered: Tormented Fathers was created, written and directed by Chris Darril and made by the Italian studio Stormind Games. It came out on PC on 30 January 2018, on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 25 July 2018 and on Nintendo Switch on 6 September 2019. The music is by Nobuko Toda and Luca Balboni. It was followed by Remothered: Broken Porcelain in 2020.

In 1992 Rosemary Reed, a woman of 35, arrives at the villa of the elderly Dr. Richard Felton, a former notary who now keeps the garden and is ill and dependent on drugs. The nurse Gloria lets her in. Rosemary claims to help, but she is really looking into the disappearance of his daughter Celeste. Once Felton works out why she has come, he starts hunting her through the dark corridors, bedrooms and attic of his home. He is not the only one: a nun in red, covered in moths and armed with a spear, also walks the house.

It plays as a stalker game in the line of Clock Tower, which it was made as a homage to. You explore in third person, solve practical puzzles and gather keys and items, and when you hear someone coming you duck into a wardrobe or under a bed. Thrown objects lure a stalker away or let you shut him in another part of the house, and a few defensive items, which can be made stronger, let you break free when caught. There is no health bar; Rosemary's body shows how hurt she is.

The fear is being hunted by someone who knows the house better than you, cued by muttering and footsteps in 3D sound. A first run of the main story takes about six hours by HowLongToBeat's count. It suits players who like hide-and-seek horror with a twisty, cinematic story and who can bear repeated chases. A remaster for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2 was announced in July 2026 and is now due in the first quarter of 2027.

How to play Remothered: Tormented Fathers

1. Buy it on Steam, PlayStation, Xbox or Switch and start a new game.
2. Explore the Felton house in third person, picking up keys, notes and useful objects.
3. Listen for footsteps and muttering; when a stalker comes near, hide in a wardrobe or under a bed and stay still.
4. Throw items to make noise elsewhere and lure him away from the room you need.
5. Use a defensive item to break free if you are caught, then run and hide again.
6. Solve the house's puzzles to open new rooms and follow the trail of the missing girl.

Tips

• Play with headphones: the sound tells you where your stalker is long before you see him.
• Keep at least one defensive item for when you are grabbed.
• Learn each stalker's route before crossing open rooms.
• Save whenever you reach a save point; chases can undo a lot of progress.
