Hailing from a very small indie Polish studio, the first Tormentum was released way back in 2015.
Inspired by the macabre art-stylings of Giger and Beksiński, it was a grim hit. For a long time we
thought we would never see the stated follow up, and then suddenly here it was.
It landed with high expectations, given what came before. After nearly 10 hours of playtime, it pretty much lived up to them.
To paraphrase the makers, you play David, a man driven to build a simulated world. His nightly
dreams are of a locked chest and a woman's voice calling to him. When elements of the dreamworld
begin appearing in his waking life, he accepts and installs an anonymously offered co-processor.
He wakes in chains in an island prison.
