    Tormentum is a point and click adventure game with a creepy atmosphere. The art style is outstanding and the music is awesome. The ending was quite surprising and gave me thoughts about my existence. To anyone whos deciding whether to buy or not this game its well worth it.

    This game deserves a much better overall score, I think it's severely underrated. This is a pure artistical masterpiece. A gothic and grotesque jewel for true, mature nihilists. It's hard to stomach for everyone, but for those who can, it is more dark peaceful and sad than disturbing. Furthermore, it gives you a solid story with a good amount of moral dilemmas, chances of confrontationThis game deserves a much better overall score, I think it's severely underrated.

It certainly deserves a sequel.… Expand

    The game itself is pretty mediocre. Puzzles are easy but repetitive, and the moral choices that determine the ending are pointless in that there is no background work done on this game.

    It needs so many improvises to make it player friendly and hassle free.

    A very nice line, ala Beksiński, a few choices,
    depressing atmosphere and nice music,
    this game is a better torment than a numenera

    Get this game!
    Dark story and wonderful art in an eerie yet thrilling style. The morality choices are spot on, and this game really brings to life the hidden object gamestyle which seemed lost for so long.

    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.    … Expand

    Dark and moody point-n-click adventure game with simplistic puzzles, strange story (which only reveals the details in the very end) and stunning art. Also it's very short. But enjoyable.

    An interesting journey through an atmospheric world with a phenomenal artwork. It's like every location is a moving painting, with the music goes perfectly with the environment. Recommended especially for fans of dark art and horrors.

    What's best of this game is the Giger style and nightmarish atmosphere. Music adds charm to the game. I finished it twice, and every time with different ending. We need more games like this one.

    If Tormentum is a point and click game, well... every powerpoint presentation, with a good soundtrack, it's a point and click game. It's simply too short (2-3 hours), lacking in animations and amount/quality of dialogues. Really: don't expect anything profound from this game or you will be disappointed, like me

    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.

    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]

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