    The only reason we wouldn't recommend it is if the idea of ​​playing an Atari 2600 game, with its clunky controls and obtuse design, turns you off. If you're curious, even if you've never played an adventure like this before, we think it's worth your time, as it's very well designed, with clever puzzles, a well thought-out storyline, and a good number of secrets to discover. If this appeals to you and you like the horror vibe, we think you should give it a try.

    It took me a little while to fully warm to Tormenture, but as the game started to show its hand, I was hooked and played much of it in a single sitting. Tormenture is a clever and novel approach to horror that makes excellent use of the limitations of the period setting to unsettle and immerse you in a unique experience.

    Tormenture blends a retro horror game with real world escape room elements to create a really unique (and rather spooky) experience.

    It’s a loving tribute to Atari’s early console and the games that defined it, and it provides a nostalgic vision of yesteryear’s gaming laced with a bit of horror. The final act might be a bit too much torment, but it doesn’t crack the polish of the game’s bulk. It’s absolutely worth it, just maybe chamber a few swears in preparation.

    Tormenture is an interesting concept but the gameplay can sometimes be confusing, leaving more questions than answers in its murky narrative.
