    Tormentum - Dark Sorrow is a light in the darkness - or is that the other way around? You'll be hard pressed to find a game as stunningly dark as this. If you think you can deal with the incredibly dark themes and art style, you'll be well rewarded with an intriguing story set in a surreal word even H.R. Giger would be proud to call his own.

    The unique art direction, amazing soundtrack and dark atmosphere of a well-written story combine together into a very pleasant surprise for 2015 and an ideal debut for OhNoo Studio. If only it had voice-overs too, it would easily reach an even higher level of quality.

    A pleasant horror mix of hidden-object game and point and click adventure game that can charm with the visual style, but also with clever logic puzzles and ostensible moral choices. [Issue#252]

    A gloomy and fascinating take on the point-and-click adventure game. While it’s not perfect—the puzzles could be a little more inventive, and the writing sometimes feels a little like angsty high school poetry, the breathtaking artwork, and well-developed world more than make up for it.

    Tormentum is a fun and intriguing point-and-click, thriving on unique art style and simplified mechanics that truly showcase how excellent the genre delivers narrative in a non-intrusive and natural way.

    The dark and very particular expedition into the bizarre world, where every corner hides madness. Gorgeous graphics go hand in hand with a standard adventure gameplay, and that "something extra" inserts into the game moral choices. Too bad that some puzzles have no added value and the movement on the screens is a bit floating. Even so, this is an excellent adventure, that should not be overlooked.

    This is a great graphic adventure that works pretty well, but really shines because of its art direction.

    A mature and artistically wonderful adventure game. Puzzles are a bit on the easy side, though.

    The art is truly exquisite, but combining heavy themes with simplistic gameplay results in a somewhat disjointed experience. Tormentum is clearly a labor of love, you just have to be mindful of its flaws.

    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.

    I actually liked the game - but if it were longer it would start to bore me.

I was familiar with Beksinskis paintings before and could absolutely find references to his paintings.

    The end game quality and design surprised me in a very positive way, it is encouraging you to replay the game in the opposite manner / paying more attention to your decisions / preventing yourself from accidentally killing folks and to rethink your everyday choices you make in real life.

    Bottom line: refreshing experience, linear, foreseeable outcomes and a 100% point and click title, love to detail, ideal length, nice puzzles.
