Some things will require you to use something from your inventory to move forward and progress but other times it will be a puzzle that you need to finish and complete. The gameplay is pretty simplistic which I love as it makes you concentrate more on the visuals, it’s as simple as point at something, click and see if you can interact with it.
#GAMES LIKE TORMENTUM DARK SORROW MOVIE#
The horror movie with the slow moving enemy builds up more suspense that the typical jump scare and this is what I get from Tormentum. The scenes of this point and click adventure are moving a lot of the time, the player stays in the same location and just the mouse moves but there are elements of the scenes that will move around, follow the mouse or just move when interacted with and everything has a sluggish movement speed, now from the way I say it sounds bad right? Well it actually really helps to add fear into the scene. Giger and Zdzisław Beksińskiand the final product of the game takes a lot of influence from Demon’s Souls or Dark Seed which have an incredible art style and are well known for their visuals. It had a sense of fear and terror as well as an almost morbid beauty to it where everything you looked at or saw was such an interesting creation or so well drawn that the universe around the player really comes alive.įrom my investigations into the game the developers took a lot of their inspiration from H.R.

I was totally blow away by the setting and visuals around me. There are many additional scenes in the games and dozens of images and drawings have been created to fill the world around the character and the player themselves. Upon further investigation I actually learned that 75 scenes, let me say that again 75 SCENES, have been hand painted which is just incredible. In the beginning the first thing that hits you is the absolutely beautiful art style. The idea is for your character to explore the world in which he is held captive and eventually escape from this nightmarish prison, but it’s no easy task. The only person you can talk to in the beginning is a giant talking rat which is kind of creepy. You play as a nameless character who has no knowledge of their past but is being carried on an airship to an unknown place, where you are going to be punished for crimes and sins that you have no knowledge of. Tormentum – Dark Sorrow is an Indie Action Point and Click adventure game developed and published by OhNoo studio, a 3 man team who have high aspirations for entertainment and developing fantastic games and I have to say they nailed this one!
