Not everything you can examine in the game does this. Key items pulse with light, while items you can interact with might puff with smoke. I’ll alert you when there are such things in an area, but it would be a waste of time to attempt to list every little thing. However, examining these things can net you achievements, and also deepens your understanding of the setting. While this is a rather obvious thing to do in an adventure game, I want to stress this because Tormentum has a lot of optional material that players do not need to examine in order to complete the game. This game doesn’t require you to combine items, so don’t bother wasting your time doing that! Examine everything! Choosing one item, you can then use it in the area. Clicking on this opens your pack, revealing all your items. In the lower right corner is your inventory. FYI, there’s an achievement for not ever looking at the notebook. Whenever the Ragman finds something noteworthy, he documents it here automatically. Sometimes arrows are in the middle of the screen, indicating some location off in the distance. To move from area to area, you scroll by moving your mouse to the edge of the screen and click the corresponding silver arrow. You don’t manually walk your character (hereby referred to as t he Ragman) through areas, but rather, each screen has items that you can interact with by clicking on them. The user interface for this game is simple.

I mention consequences as necessary, but if you want to know everything that happens in detail, you must play the game! What this guide will not do, is summarize story events.


If this isn’t a concern, then just know that Tormentum has a fairly binary morality system, so one playthrough should give you an idea of what to do if you want to get the other achievements. Believe me, the morality is less obvious when playing the game unaided for the first time. Reading this guide, however, could lessen the impact of the story for you by removing that state of uncertainty. When playing the game naturally, some of the choices seem less clear. Key items can be missed, puzzles can still be confusing, and what about those moral choices? I should note that a major part of Tormentum’s experience is the kind of choices you make. Tormentum already provides in-game hints for many of its puzzles, but that doesn’t completely eliminate the challenge.

If you’d like my full thoughts on the game, see my review, but here I will endeavor to provide guidance for it.

Thus begins the surreal story bordering somewhere between dream and reality. Those are however the least of his problems as the airship lowers its flight towards a huge gloomy castle which soon becomes his prison. This unique mixture gave life to a bleak and depressing world. The game's final look and feel was also strongly influenced by the universes of games such as Demon's Souls or Dark Seed. The dreamlike, nightmarish atmosphere of the game was inspired by works of painters H.R. About This Game TORMENTUM is a dark Point & Click adventure game.
