About the game
Tormenture is a psychological horror game where you play as a child trapped in a cursed 8-bit game with a dark secret. To survive, you must find four relics and solve reality-blurring puzzles. But beware—some creatures may escape the game and haunt you in the real world. A game within a game.

What players say
Even though I would have loved way more horror component, the Atari game itself is pretty solid and fun, with plenty of puzzles and secrets. Enjoyed it a lot.

SUCH AN UNDER RATED GAME its sooo good they need to keep going and make another... do yourself a favor and PLAY THIS GAME! if you like games like faith and retro PLAY THIS!
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...
