![]() As usual, it will all make the most sense once the game has reached completion. Many of these fiends are quite forlorn and profound with their dialogue, which is reminiscent of The Divine Comedy by Dante. You will learn more about the hellish world that you're traversing through by reading notes and speaking with the many interactive beings within the game. ![]() The character that you are playing has no more knowledge than you do, and vica versa this is much akin to plots like that of Stasis and Sanitarium. Along the way you must face tough choices, all of which will ultimately matter in the end. ![]() So, what is this game actually about? Sadly, I can't delve far into the story without spoiling it completely I will say that you are a man, wandering the huge realm of Tormentum in search of a way out. The ominous, ambient hymns bring an entire new dimension to the art style that is displayed within the game, and they really suck the gamer in while refusing to let go. It's rare for me to enjoy a game soundtrack this deeply, but I would actually put Tormentum's score on a regular playlist right along side some Bethlehem, Velvet Acid Christ and Burzum. There was actually one part of the game, near this giant tower, that I enjoyed the music so much that I cranked my speakers, left my computer and proceeded to do housework while just listening to the audio. I sincerely wish that it was for sale on Steam, as I would purchase it in a heartbeat. The entire world that has been created for Tormentum feels overwhelmingly larger than you are.Ĭoupling the awe inspiring artwork is a dark, brooding soundtrack. The screenshots that you will see on the store page are just a faint few of the 70+ cadaverous hand-painted expanses that you will wander across, and there are numerous devils to encounter. The massive amounts of detail that has been put into the artwork alone more than makes Tormentum worth the full selling price, artists as talented as the ones who worked on this title deserve high recognition and I firmly believe that true art should never be undersold. If it weren't completely impossible, I'd go as far to say that both of these renowned surrealist artists collaborated and contributed the art straight to the game. The artists did one hell of an amazing job merging the soft pastels and hazy dream-like features of Zdzislaw Beksinski's work with the harsh, alien architecture of H.R. Hands down, the main focus of Tormentum is its eerily captivating artwork. Make no mistake, this title is not for those who may get depressed easily, as it deals with some heavy subject matter and it confronts those dark, ghastly thoughts that linger in the back of our minds forcing us to think about our life choices, and what may be waiting for us in the afterlife. The game itself is seething with hellish nightmarescapes, and venomously dripping with macabre dialogue a far more tortured choice compared to many of the point and clicks available on the market today. Oozing with gore and morbidity, Tormentum - Dark Sorrow is an engrossing point and click adventure that you're sure to remember for years to come.
