What players say

What a dark and freaky little game. I loved it thoroughly. Point and click mechanics and puzzles at their finest, nothing too challenging, but nothing that's overly simple either. The dark gothic, twisted and demented worldscape is reminiscent of more recent games like Blasphemous or Scorn in their design, and retains uniqueness and intrigue throughout. The ending of the game does play out differently based on what...

Don't be fooled by the haunting Zdzislaw Beksinski and H.R. Giger-inspired artwork or the sorrowful themes of guilt and regret: Tormentum - Dark Sorrow is a relaxing and cozy-fun puzzle time!

Visual stile is a mix of Beksinsky and Giger. Very good. Reminded me the Scorn. Most of puzzles more or less simple but has variety that also good. Sometimes is tis not clear what will be as consequences for your decision that is not usual for such games. Game do not have manual saves, so If you accidentally choose wrongly like me, you will be able to have another walkthrough. The game completely worth time spent.
