Description
TORMENTUM is a dark Point & Click adventure game. The dreamlike, nightmarish atmosphere of the game was inspired by works of painters H.R. Giger and Zdzislaw Beksinski. The game's final look and feel was also strongly influenced by the universes of games such as Demon's Souls or Dark Seed. This unique mixture gave life to a bleak and depressing world. Those are however the least of his problems as the airship lowers its flight towards a huge gloomy castle which soon becomes his prison. Thus begins the surreal story bordering somewhere between dream and reality...

Get lost in the enchanting art, but don't expect much more.

4/5 stars
Though some adventure game tropes serve as an irritant in this game, the gorgeous artwork and dark story of Tormentum – Dark Sorrow more than make up for it.

75/100
It really is unfortunate that Tormentum's puzzles slide in short as the art and characters work together very well, which is only heightened by the solid soundtrack. While the story is mostly barren for a majority of the gameplay, the characters manage to carry your interest in the happenings around you. Ultimately, Tormentum comes close to forming a great point-and-click adventure in 2015, but the lack of variety in the puzzle design really drags down the whole experience.

Enjoyable game, incredibly short

I highly enjoyed my time with Tormentum. The art and the atmosphere really sold me the game and kept me entertained the whole way through. The only issue is how short and easy it is. I was able to see 100% of the content in 5 hours spent across 3 playthroughs. I don't think of myself as good at point n click adventure games, so that is legitimately saying something. Definitely worth it on sale, but I don't think the base price is very good value.

This game got my GF into gaming

I just wanted to try my new game for 5 minutes with my girlfriend next to me. I just wanted to open the first iron gate and then turn the game off again because my GF really dislike gaming. But we started thinking together and she got hooked immediately and did not want to stop playing. Now she want to play this game with me all the time to finish it up because she feel liked she's contributing even if I handle all the mouse clicking. So this is very suitable as a 2 player game (like Samorost 3 and other puzzle games). I really like the puzzle solving and the atmosphere myself as well. A really good game! I'm so happy I got her into gaming because of this game. I don't think Simon the Sorcerer or Monkey Island would have worked the same because those games are too big and requires so much try everything on everything. This is more convenient as an introduction game to the genre since it's a rather small world with more concrete puzzles and more logic is included and you feel more smart when solving a puzzle in Tormentum then combining a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle. A must try for fans of the genre.

Wallpaper simulator

This is definitely a nice showcase for concept art, you could even call this a elaborate demo. But a game ? no, not to the initial price, do not buy this to full price! Wait for deep sale if the games promo material makes you curious. The story and puzzle elements are VERY basic, a lot of inspiration from everywhere but it really goes nowhere and then finishes off with half-assed redemption arc. I am giving this art-demo 3 stars because i bought in deep sale, i only lost time... I can recommend just watch Alien again if you need a geiger fix and if a dark semi surreal puzzle game is needed, then Sanitarium is available right here on GoG!

Short and simple

The game is definitely distinguishing itself within the point&click adventure genre with its excellent horror/grotesque graphics. This part of the game still does not overshadow several serious issues with the game play this title has: 1) The story is mehhhh. Not really engaging. You are thrown in some place and must get out of it to get to some place that supposed to be important but you don't know really why. This is it. 2) The puzzles are simple, very simple. Not intuitive but really, really simple. The difficulty level is even lower than puzzles in "Lost Lands" on your mobile. I was quite disappointed by that. 3) Morality system for the bad/good ending... to be honest it is again so simplified that you cannot go wrong here. It is an interesting mechanics but one could make it less obvious. Now it is, as somebody here worte, bland. 4) The game is really short. I have finished it in ~3h... . If you value mony for time spent wait for some 80% discount on this title. 5) A feeling of an android port to PC is just overwhelming
