Tormentum - Dark Sorrow

Great puzzles, Great art, Great ambiance to this game,

I had to think about this for a while, figure out if I really recommended it or not. I would not consider this an adventure game. It lacks the kind of compelling story I think it needs to pull that off. The story is kind of ambiguous, but you do get answers at the end. Is it satisfying? Not really. I think of the game far more as an Art Galley mixed with Puzzles. The game has some really great art, and many puzzles. Most are pretty straight forward, but some are about as clear as mud. But the biggest issue is that you're faced with moral choices where you often have very little idea which choice is the better one. Music is pretty good. The game is short too. You can easily finish it in under 2 hours if you don't get stuck on any puzzles. If you do get stuck, you've almost certainly missed something in one of the previous rooms. I guess I don't have a lot to say about it. It's a nice way to spend 2 hours. Just know it is heavily a game that looks great and is full of puzzles. The story is ambiguous for almost all of it, for a reason, which isn't going to be for everyone.

I really liked this game. I was looking for a game similar to Dark Seed from the 90s. While similar in nature, the walking does not take long at all by comparison and the objects you need are usually highlighted. The artwork is fantastic. The story is a bit dark but you can tell the developers put a lot of effort into the game. Even though the elements may not connect in a linear fashion, it still draws you into the story and makes you want to keep going. The difficulty of the puzzles is not very high. For some, this may be a drawback. I usually like harder puzzles but found it easy enough to get through 3 playthroughs to get all achievements in just 10 hours. I just wish I could find modern games similar to the play style that Dark Seed brought to the table.

Visualmente los escenarios me recuerdan a las pinturas de Zdzisław Beksiński. La atmósfera del juego es increíble y la historia es bastante original e inmersiva de principio a fin, pura fantasíaaaa. Tiene una vibra que me alokaaa y es bastante rara, porque no he vuelto a encontrar otro juego así o son muy pocos. Si tuviera que ser enviada a ser torturada y tener que encontrar la redención, probablemente habría tomado unas decisiones de mrda, pero habría elegido sufrir en este juego porque está bonito pero horrible y entiende las vibras y así, y muak lo amo toda la cosha. Un 1000/10 y asi infinito loamoloamo estanmisterioso osea yo kjausuyuyduwhja muak

I would recommend to buy it on a discount though: it's more an interactive piece of art than an horror game. I really liked the art, and the general tone of the game and story. That being said, the puzzles and point & click are rather simple and linear: if you are experienced with his kind of games, Tormentum will be too easy and maybe even unsatisfying. There are not even objects combinations, just a simplified inventory system, and notes are taken automatically when looking at something that is a clue. The puzzles are classic ones, well made, but also rather easy. Overall the game is good and well executed, but the elements of the universe and story sometimes feel a bit disconnected, and I would have liked some elements of the story or characters to be a bit more fleshed out.

Considering how cheap the game is it a very good game and has quite gloomy settings and gets quite interesting and there is a lot of wonderful graphics and music and the likes. &/10 for a good looking and very unique game.

Der Artstyle und die Erzwählweise sind phänomenal!
