There were some great puzzle designs, but they left me wanting more. I found Tormentum’s interactions were often too opaque, especially when it came to moral choices, which frustrated the hell out of me. If both the game format and the art don’t speak to you, then I don’t think it’s worthwhile. If you like point & click escape rooms and this game’s art direction appeals to you, then it’s worth a few bucks and a few hours to play it. If I’m gonna murder someone, I want to know that I’m about to do it. On more than a few occasions I made critical in-game moral decisions, by accident, without any intention or understanding of what was about to happen. And they squeezed in a few stage bosses from Contra for good measure. It was easy to completely miss critical things within the game’s elaborate art. The pixel hunt searching overstayed its welcome.

There were some entertaining puzzles, but they were not the centerpiece of the game the art was. TORMENTUM is a dark Point & Click adventure game. Tormentum: Dark Sorrow was a point & click, pixel hunt digital escape room. The art had a Frank Frazetta heavy metal style about it that gave the game a unique feel. The entirety of Tormentum was beautifully painted from the characters to the panoramic settings. In typical escape room fashion, the goal was to escape. Tormentum: Dark Sorrow is a classic point-and-click adventure, so you mainly explore locations, chat with NPCs, and solve puzzles. After four or five hours of playing, those decisions will lead the player to one of a few alternative endings. Your mysterious cloaked protagonist began Tormentum: Dark Sorrow imprisoned in some sort of medieval fantasy steampunk inquisition dungeon. The partially non-linear story regularly forces the player to make difficult moral choices.
