He tells you that if you go to the kitchen and find poisoned food then you can kill the beast blocking the lever to his escape. Apparently no one left him a key, per company policy. One however, kind of hits the bull’s-eye.Īfter finishing a few simple puzzles you meet rat man again who is still in his cage. A few of those spikes are completely ineffective. I know this is a point and click adventure so it was supposed to be simple, but this feels a bit generic in the execution, at least compared to the amazingness that is the game’s setting. It was kind of disappointing that in a game like this that is literally dripping with atmosphere, that it still falls back on the old point and click stereotypes that we have all seen before. Also, it takes roughly five minutes to find something to pry off the place to the gearbox. Here is another shocker apparently Count Chocula subcontracted the security measures to the unpaid interns because the replacement gear is right there in the cell with you. Regardless you are taken to a giant Romanian, Count Chocula looking castle and end up in a jail cell. Of course your character has no memory…there’s a shock, right? Rat man tells you that you are being taken to a place where sinners are taken. In a cage next to you is a giant man sized rat, or rat man for short. The game starts out with your character who, strangely enough looks like a black mage from Final Fantasy, in a cage underneath a giant blimp. The whole game is inspired by the works of H.R.Giger, so if you are a fan, bonus points right there. And Tormentum also has over a hundred additional screens as well as dozens of paintings created by the mad painter residing in the game’s cathedral. It features a uniquely drawn world that is creepy and cool at the same time. Tormentum – Dark Sorrow is a dark, dark game. Thankfully, they decided to go a decidedly different path. That’s what I was expecting from OhNoo Studio’s Tormentum. Many of them, think the Nancy Drew variety, are light and sunny or almost campy in their feel and atmosphere. Most point and click adventures have you solving mysteries and going on grand adventures.
