Beautiful Art, Average Game
Graphics: Tormentum is pure art. Fans of H.R Giger, Luis Royo or similar biomechanical, "living" nightmare artists will feel right at home from the title screen onwards. Every single screen is a visual treat, with more details catching the eye and emerging as you look at it. Nothing in the game is 3D modeled or sprite art; everything looks like it's part of a single painting. Easily the high point of the game, and there's more than a few scenes that would make amazing posters. The lack of a digital artbook is disappointing, given how much art there is (so much that there's an entire area filled with what I'm sure is unused concept art, as well as more art during the credits) Sound: If there was any voice acting, I never noticed it. Instead, all dialogue is written and presented that way. The music is eerie and feels generally suitable for the game and scenes. I never found myself humming along to it, or even really noticing it, though. Decidedly average for both music and sound effects. Nothing really stands out, for better or worse. Gameplay: Left click. That's the controls. Left click to pick up, use, look, talk, etc. Move the mouse left/right to see the rest of the screen you're on. Left click to pick up items, open inventory, solve puzzles by using items or solving actual puzzles. Click arrows to move from one screen to another, no moving the character himself. He just stands there on each screen. It feels more like a touchscreen game than a full PC game, which is odd because apparently it was developed for PC first, then later ported to handhelds. That said, MOST of the puzzles are genuinely solveable with a little thought. Only a very few puzzles really stumped me to the point of needing a walkthrough. Multiple endings, though it's fairly easy to get the good ending, even without trying. Length: For what it is, Tormentum is about the right length, easily beaten in under 3 hours. It's a short, casual experience that's enjoyable while it lasts.
