'Tormentum: Dark Sorrow' Coming Next Week - Screens & Trailer

Tormentum: Dark Sorrow is a dark point & click adventure game, inspired by the works of H. R. Giger, where you will find darkness and surrealism, all finished with an ominous music score.

The creators of Tormentum, bored with conventional fantasy and sci-fi style, ventured to build one of the strangest and most surrealist worlds ever seen in adventure games. If you ever wondered what "Dark Seed 3" would look like, here is your answer.

A dark hopeless world, inhabited by grim characters and hideous creatures. The player takes control over a nameless protagonist who wakes up one day only to discover he has been locked in a metal cage attached by chains to a large flying machine. The only vague memory he manages to recollect, with great difficulty, is a faint image of a statue of a woman surrounded by a forest of stone hands. Our hero, in search for truth about himself, travels through three lands composed of nearly 80 locations. The dark illustrations are perfected with an exquisite grim soundtrack.

Roaming through the lands, the hero faces moral choices that will impact the course of the game. This way, the developers have been able to create a non-linear storyline and offer various end scenarios, depending on the choices made by the hero.

"We value original and interesting places with the capacity to surprise and amaze. Constructing the various Tormentum locations, we aimed at creating a strange world full of surrealism that would allow the players to explore the game's universe and interpret it in their own way.", said Piotr Ruszkowski, illustrator from OhNoo Studio.


Key Features:

  • THE GAME WORLD: 3 realms, differing in architecture and creatures inhabiting them. You'll meet characters with unique personalities who will help you - or try to prevent you from - reaching your goal.
  • ART: 75 hand-painted stages. The game also features over a hundred additional screens as well as dozens of paintings created by the mad painter residing in the cathedral.
  • PUZZLES: During your journey you will come against 24 varied logical puzzles and minigames.
  • STORY: A dark adventure between dream and reality.
  • MUSIC: Exceptional soundtrack with over 40 tracks.

Tormentum: Dark Sorrow will be available as digital download for $11.99, and will premiere on Steam with 20% discount.
