Next Generation reviewed the Macintosh version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "With gorgeously bleak H.R. Giger/H.P. Lovecraft-style graphics, nicely gross pulsating hearts for continue markers, and an eerie background melody straddling the line between 'The Twilight Zone' them and the soundtrack from the movie 'Phantasm', this is one title every CRT zombie will enjoy."[1]
Troubled Souls won Electronic Entertainment's 1994 "Best Brain-Drain Game" award. The editors wrote that its "game play is compelling, and its haunting music and graphics add to the atmospheric fun."[3]
