Consequently, he is almost always a static piece of artwork on the screen. Just remember to leave a light on when going to bed after playing.The only negative to the game’s scrumptious presentation is that rather than directly moving the avatar, you simply click on the edges of the screen to shunt him from room to room. The scenes, the sights and the sounds of this point and click adventure will linger with you far longer than the jolt of an animatronic bear attack or the appearance of a suit wearing mannequin in the woods. Dark Sorrow is perhaps a truer exhibit of the horror game than the Pewdiepie fodder we've come to associate with on Youtube. Gaming has seldom looked so genuinely hellish or nightmarish. It won’t show many pretty things, but its art style and assets flawlessly bring out what the developers intended to convey. Dark Sorrow’s effortless difficulty only amplifies this problem.The game is beautiful. Point and click puzzlers often struggle with replayability since when you figure a puzzle out once, you’ve figured it for life. This is largely down to NPC characters often outright telling you what you need to do for you to achieve your goal. Dark Sorrow flounders on the easy end of the difficulty spectrum. Of course this can be a double-edged sword at the best of times and it shows here. This razor sharp streamlining means you’ll always know what to do and where to do it. That might raise the collective eyebrow of back tracking naysayers but the game thankfully seals off areas you’ve cleared for good, pressing you perpetually onward in the right direction. The game is smoothly paced, and you’ll find yourself bobbing back and forth between rooms. You will be following clues to and fro around the castle, solving puzzles and completing frantic mini-games in order to progress. The game has a lot going on for its genre, always keeping you on your toes in the best possible way. Tormentum is a point and click adventure right down to its malevolent core. This game is more about the experience than the story and what an experience it is. That’s about as far as context stretches here, but it’s all one needs really. He arrives in a ghoulish castle where the wicked are tortured for their sins in a whole manner of uncomfortable ways. You take control of a faceless, robed man who suffers from (wait for it) amnesia. It’s more like an excuse to be able to put the player in the game’s twisted world, and with locales as horrifyingly gorgeous as this, that’s totally fine. Developer: OhNoo StudioPlatforms: PCRelease Date: 4 Mar, 2015There is a story, but just barely. Aesthetically, the game is like stepping into the wet dream of an H.R Giger fanboy. While a more by-the-book horror game might get its kicks by jump scaring the player or drenching them in copious streams of blood, Dark Sorrow aims to make them as disconcerted as possible through the sheer unrelenting intensity of its disturbing atmosphere. By Adam Donnelly | Tormentum: Dark Sorrow is a game that revels in surrealistic sensation.
