About

Remothered: Tormented Fathers is a 2018 survival horror video game created and directed by Chris Darril, developed by Stormind Games and published by Darril Arts. The game was originally released digitally on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows. A Nintendo Switch version was released digitally in 2019, in collaboration with developer Dico Co., Ltd. The game was also released physically in October 2019 by publisher Soedesco.

Created, written and directed by Italian video game artist and director Chris Darril, it has been described as a homage to the Japanese survival horror series Clock Tower. Its story follows Rosemary Reed, a woman who arrives at the Felton family's mansion to investigate the disappearance of the daughter, Celeste, some years before. When the owner, Richard, realizes Rosemary's true intentions, a terrifying night begins.

›Story

Rosemary Reed, a fascinating 35 year old woman, reaches the house of a retired notary, Dr. Felton, who is affected by a mysterious disease. The woman is greeted by Ms. Gloria, the nurse who takes care of the old man.

When Rosemary reveals herself and her true intentions, the terrifying dread begins. Rosemary’s investigations will bring her to believe that the disappearance of the man’s daughter Celeste actually hides a terrible massacre. Dr. Felton and his wife, Arianna, could be the only ones to know the truth, including the secret behind Celeste’s real identity and a fanatic cult of cloistered nuns in red.

Story

An old woman named Madame Svenska meets a young man named Mr. Manni, to whom she begins recounting an old story so that it will not be forgotten.

In the year 1992, a mysterious woman named Rosemary Reed (Danielle McRae) heads to the villa of Dr. Richard Felton (Adam Harrington), a retired notary, to discuss how to treat the mysterious and incurable illness he suffers from. During the interview, it is revealed that Felton's adopted daughter, Celeste, ran away from home 21 years prior and his now deceased former business partner, Professor Albert Elias Wyman, was the prime suspect for her disappearance. However, it is quickly revealed that Reed only used the medical interview as a pretext to find out the truth behind Celeste's disappearance. Angered, Felton orders Reed to leave the villa.

Development

The first version of Remothered was a one-man-only-project developed on Enterbrain's Rpg Maker Xp, with 2D and oil painting aesthetics and similarities to Clock Tower. The project was cancelled in 2012 by Chris Darril himself with the objective of making a stronger version with new 3D engine.

The title Remothered is a combination of the words REM (rapid eye movement), moth, mother, other and red, all of which refer to the game's story and symbolism.

Reception

According to the review aggregation website Metacritic, the game received "generally favorable reviews" for Windows and PlayStation 4 versions, and "mixed or average reviews" for Xbox One and Nintendo Switch versions. Eurogamer Italia praised the game for its atmosphere, gameplay and story, but noted minor technical issues and "woody" animations.

On 22 July 2018, three days prior to Remothered's console release, Keiichiro Toyama, creator of Silent Hill and Forbidden Siren, expressed his admiration for the game and hoped to collaborate with Chris Darril.
