    Torn Away is a harrowing and chilling visual novel experience. Moreover, its beautiful writing and touching plot is hard to put down. However, it is this emotion-fueled experience that makes it mentally draining and tough to complete in one sitting.

    If you’re looking for a happy go-lucky adventure, this is not it. Framed through the eyes of this young girl, Torn Away lets you experience a distressing, personal slice of an already disturbing period of history. Is it heartwarming? Hardly. But it’s honest, heartfelt and, in a grim enough way, entertaining. When you’re dealing with a topic like this, what more could you ask for?

    A very hard story that compensates for its playable shortcomings with a beautiful melancholy in motion.

    The mechanics in Torn Away are so varied that a couple could have been lost along the way without affecting things; like the first person sections. But it’s the story's emotional beats which shine, absolutely spot on whilst the main characters are wonderful and tragic.
