As a puzzle fanatic, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of puzzles but disappointed by their difficulty. Aside from the usual item combination puzzles and fetch quests, the game includes self-contained mini-puzzles drawn from inspirations like Hexiom Connect, the famous Professor-Layton-smash-your-screen sliding puzzles, the standard adjust-pipes-until-point-a-and-b-connect, and more. Managing the character’s written notes is rather finicky at times, but the controls work smoothly otherwise. Like many point-and-clicks, Tormentum’s control is straightforward - click to move and interact with items. Upon arrival, you are swiftly locked in a cell and need to figure a way out of this foreboding place. Only people who are “marked by evil” are swept away to the castle, and the rat protests his innocence. A traveling rat companion in an adjacent cage laments that he was grabbed from his house in the middle of the night and that the twisted airship is heading towards an ominous castle from which no one has escaped before. ![]() However, a game needs to be more than a pretty face, so is Tormentum filled with gratifying conversation?Īs the game begins, you wake and find yourself trapped in a cage being transported by a huge flying abomination, with no memories of how or why you got there. I could easily see the backgrounds framed and hanging on a wall, imploring viewers to lose time in their elaborate filigree. The minute details of each scene craft a believable world I wish I could explore in high definition - the quality of the art goes beyond a depth most games offer. Watch the ending.When I first saw screenshots of Tormentum, I was highly impressed by its brooding darkness and warped reality, a wonderful painted combination of surreal, gothic landscapes and characters. Take the elevator down and then place the key in the hanging bowl. Talk to the hooded man and then go through to be judged. See this guide to find out the correct choice.ġ6. You need to choose between the Key of Light or Key of Darkness. Now you have to make the ultimate decision. Go back the the hands statue and thrust the sword into the statue.

He’s dying and blames you and begs you to show him mercy and let him die in peace. ![]() Climb up the roof to find the Grey Icarus. He tells you the Grey Icarus caused all this and asks you to find him for them so they can kill him. Talk to the creature sitting on the piano. Head all the way left and towards the burning building. See this guide to find out the correct choice. You now have to decide whether to use the brushes to restore thirty paintings or to cut the ones with claw marks by them. The cat will show you the paintings, but he’ll also tell you that if you cut open three of the paintings that he marked with his claws, you can get the blueprints with less work involved. He’ll ask you to restore thirty of his paintings and in exchange he’ll give you a blueprint for the sword you need. Then go through the left door to meet the blind man and his strange-looking cat. ![]() Ignore the paintings for now, unless you want to look at them.
