Tormentum: Dark Sorrow  begins in a completely absurd fashion. You wake up with no name, no memory, and no understanding of your past, trapped inside a metal cage hanging underneath a giant, snarling metal monster. Your only companion is a mysterious, humanoid rat in a nearby cage who speaks a terrifying truth: you are transported to a mysterious, dark castle where only those identified with evil are sent to suffer. Once the airship enters the grounds of this living prison, your search for survival and identity begins. The story works like a convoluted psychological puzzle.

To find out who you are, you’ll travel through three unique, eerie kingdoms, each filled with creepy denizens, ancient artifacts, and secrets hidden within the castle itself. The most interesting aspect of Tormentum is its visual identity. The entire entertainment world was deeply affected by the appalling, actions of H.R. Giger (the creator of Alien ) and the gloomy, hellish exploits of Polish photographer Zdzisław Beksiński. Adhering to the dark notions of the Souls series, the game delivers a disturbing, intriguing, and completely engrossing atmosphere that draws you in from the first frame.
