About
Tormenture is a psychological horror game that takes players on a dark and immersive journey, complete with a shocking twist.
In Tormenture, you step into the role of a young child drawn by rumors of a cursed 8-bit horror game. According to legend, the developers of this game made a pact with the devil to achieve eternal life, triggering terrifying consequences. Alone in the dark, you confront eerie, mind-bending paranormal events as you dive deeper into a game that blurs the boundaries between nightmare and reality.
To unravel the game’s mysteries and avoid getting trapped within it, you must locate and gather four sacred relics, guiding you north across a sprawling map filled with complex puzzles—some of which bridge the line between the virtual and real worlds. But beware, for some creatures may break free from the screen and haunt the shadows of your own reality.
Tormenture is inspired by classic horror games, featuring nostalgic mechanics and controls in a fully immersive 3D environment. It’s truly a “game within a game,” designed to keep you questioning what’s real and what’s not.
A tribute to 8-bit classic games, Tormenture transports you to the 80’s, to a child’s room in which you will be playing the cursed game and interacting with classic toys like the Speak’n Spell, a Stereo, the Guess Who? and many others that will help you unlock hidden secrets.
In this adventure, you’ll tackle puzzles that challenge both your wit and instincts. Every step in this dark journey brings you closer to unveiling hidden truths in this strange realm. Prepare to lose yourself in an spooky atmosphere that fuses retro charm with modern unpredictability where every moment brims with tension and surprises.

Begins quaint and fun, descending slowly into mediocrity and then into extreme frustration. The final dungeon/boss combined create an experience similar to a deafening, rotten fart directly into your mouth that does not cease until you close the game. The bridge item is in such a laughably buggy and outright hostile-to-the-player state that you have to wonder why they left it in. The final quarter of the entire runtime was just one big glitch, I bugged into multiple places I was not supposed to, mostly by accident, including [spoiler]the sword room.[/spoiler] The final boss was absolutely maddening, I quickly and easily did exactly what was required, dodging all attacks, but the bridge item let me down attempt after attempt, forcing me to take damage whilst trying to "fix" it. I am so so so glad it's over. The game would be SO much better without the final dungeon/boss. An incredible shame.
Tormenture es una de esas pequeñas joyas creadas en España que suelen ser tapadas entre la marabunta de juegos que salen diariamente. El juego "base" (importante lo de Base porque hay más") se basa en la estética de los juegos de Atari como Adventure para hacer una aventura con una atmósfera extraña, con unos puzzles solventes y muy ingeniosos que no te llevan de la mano y al resolverlos te generan una sonrisa de satisfacción. No obstante, la gracia del juego es su vuelta de tuerca: puedes "salirte" del propio videojuego e interactuar con tu entorno, con objetos y más puzzles que te ayudarán en tu aventura y situaciones de terror tenso que te perturbarán. Te gustó Inscryption o Pony Island? Este juego entonces te gustará. No es excesivamente largo pero tiene la duración perfecta para que no se te haga pesado, además de que cada zona tiene sus propias herramientas para avanzar por lo que es muy dinámico en ese aspecto. Tiene una narrativa ingame que te va mostrando pistas, muchas veces obtusas que te harán pensar y que recrean un lore muy interesante junto a imágenes extrañas que le dan ese toque de terror retro. Dura pocas horas pero esas horas son muy disfrutables. Toda la enhorabuena al desarollador y a la gente de Billete Cohete por darle visibilidad a esta pequeña pero gran obra!
Отличная игра в игре, всем поклонникам Inscryption рекомендуется, так же любителям игр в стиле Atari 2600 очень зайдет. При этом Как сама игра (2600) весьма интересна, так и загадки в хабе. Графика приятная очень, стилизовано под 80-е все, музыка тоже выдержана в подобающей стилистике. Куча пасхалок и секретиков, на деке играется потрясающе. Одобрямс однозначно!!!
good game
Cool idea with some nice aesthetics, but it's ruined because of bugs, quality of life issues and jank, (especially at the end).
One of the best purchases I made - an incredibly fun horror puzzle game where you both play an atari-styled adventure game while at the same time solving puzzles around your room. Several games like this have already been made, but this one is definitely one of the better designed ones. It helps that the main segment of the game, that being the actual atari adventure game -is fun on its own, with the puzzles that surround it being often surprisingly complex. Besides the things you need to do to progress there is plenty of hidden things including different types of little easter eggs, puzzles that reward you with small scenes and a collectable, so you have a lot to do besides just going for the main objective. The story is tremendously generic, it is [spoiler]another story about demons and the devil[/spoiler], but the presentation is incredibly charming and really fun. With [spoiler]bosses you fight in the game appearing in the window to attempt and scare you, one actually making you throw darts at its eyes in the "real world" to progress[/spoiler]. Definitely worth a try!
El jefe final igual hay que darle un repasito
Una gran sorpresa de juego que recuerda esas noches que encendías la consola y rezabas para que nadie se despertara (o la escondías bajo la almohada). Hablando en serio es una maravilla a todos los niveles, yo lo jugué de salida y si bien en ese momento la optimización abandonó la sala, tengo entendido que ha mejorado muchísimo (creo recordar que han bajado mucho los requisitos mínimos para jugarlo); es una experiencia de la que mejor no saber nada pero hay muchos puzzles y paranoias.
Menudo juegazo, cuánto talento, no me esperaba para nada el nivel de detalle y de cariño que tiene. Lo he disfrutado muchísimo y me ha tenido pegado a la pantalla resolviendo todos los secretos que he podido, recomendadísimo.
Mola bastante la dinámica de entrelazar puzles dentro del juego y fuera. Los de fuera del juego, para mi gusto, en general son bastante crípticos y cuesta saber como encararlos, pero en lo general ha sido una buena experiencia.
