TORMENTUM is a dark Point & Click adventure game.
A nameless hero finds himself in a place between fantasy and nightmare. He doesn't remember his name nor where he comes from. Wandering through strange lands, he struggles to discover the truth about the world around him, as well as about himself.
The dreamlike, nightmarish atmosphere of the game was inspired by the works of painters H.R. Giger and Zdzisław Beksiński. The game's final look and feel was also strongly influenced by the universes of games such as Demon's Souls or Dark Seed. This unique mixture gave life to a bleak and depressing world.
The story begins as the protagonist wakes up locked in a metal cage hanging below a large flying machine. It becomes clear he is its passenger against his will and the machine's destination is unknown. The only vague memory he can summon in his mind is that of a sculpture atop a hill, depicting human hands reaching towards the sky.
Those are, however, the least of his problems as the airship descends its flight towards a huge, gloomy castle which soon becomes his prison. Thus begins the surreal story bordering somewhere between dream and reality...

All in all, this is one of the best P&C adventure games I've ever played. Every aspect is impressive on its own and when all of its elements are combined, a truly worthy gaming experience is born. For fans of the genre or horror games in general, this game won't disappoint. - Game Walkers (9/10)
Every single piece of art is absolutely stunning and the gameplay complements it well. It has a perfect length for what it is and the world stays with you well after you're finished. Tormentum is one of the most strikingly visual adventure games and the small team at OhNoo Studio should be proud of what they've made. - Pixel Related (9/10)
All clearly inspired by the nightmarish flesh-stretching surrealism of HR Giger with occasional hellscapes in the style of Hieronymus Bosch, Tormentumis never less than amazing to look at and the push to see the next piece of f***ed-up artwork is what drove me on through the game the most. - Game Watcher (7/10)
This is simply a gorgeous game, with visuals that create a dark, shadowy world that oppresses you with negative emotion. The visuals are the draw with Tormentum to be sure, as those I've talked to about the game usually bring up the detailed, refined dark visuals first. This is kind of a blend of point & click adventure and those hidden object search games, so the screen is always loaded with intense detail. I often spent more time than needed on each section, poring over the art design to see all the little touches added in. I think the work of H.R. Giger will come to mind for most, but the visuals here are obviously inspired by several artists who honed their craft in a darker style. In truth, the visual experience is what drives Tormentum, as you'll be more interested in how the next section looks, instead of what puzzles await. - Bluray Authority
