Little is known about her. She seems to be a young, blonde woman, with her face covered by her hair. Her clothes are covered in blood. She always floats in the air and she vibrates in a way similar to Lisa in Silent Hills P.T. She also makes sounds, quite similar to Lisa from P.T. She was likely inspired from that game. Her first appearance seems to be in the original Dungeon Nightmares during the “Endless Hallway” hallucination, without harming the player. However, that was more like a prototype, which eventually evolved into the Tortured Soul seen in the second game. In this game, she can be encountered as a enemy in Nights 3, 4 and 5. She is the only monster that cannot be encountered in Nights 6 and 7.

Behavior[]
She spawns at a random location inside the dungeon and remains idle, until the player gets close to her. Once she spots the player, she starts following them for the rest of the time they spend in the dungeon. She never loses track of the player’s location and she will always be moving towards them, no matter how far she will be. She can pass through doors, intact breakable walls and traps without being harmed. Just like the Ghost Girl, she hates light. Lighting a candle will make her vanish, but she will only be invisible. She can’t harm the player while a candle is lit, but she will reappear once it goes off. Also, lighting a candle when close to her and then moving to another location of the map, until the candle goes off will make her appear in the player’s new location, which means that she follows the player faster, when a candle is lit. This results in the player “carrying” the invisible Tortured Soul around while a candle is lit.
Being chased by the Tortured Soul reduces the chance of encountering Mary, especially in Nights 4 and 5 due to the tightness of these maps. If the Tortured Soul is despawned by the player using a candle, however, Mary is able to spawn almost immediately if the player is unlucky.
Identity[]
Her exact identity is unknown. She may be the mother of Asmodeus, the Ghost Girl and the Fire Babies, but that is just unconfirmed speculation.
Trivia[]
- The Tortured Soul is the only monster that doesn't appear in Nights 6 and 7. The exact reason why she doesn't appear in the final two nights is unknown, but it may have something to do with her relation to the Protagonist.
