#Tormentum dark sorrow movie#

This isn't necessarily a negative of the game, but rather a warning to be well prepared about what lies ahead. Without spoiling too much, at one point a character makes some comments about suicide that are incredibly distasteful and will likely offend people touched by it in some way. But others may also find themselves recoiling in shock. As a Christian I found Tormentum to be particularly confronting and disagreeable given its spin on these issues. The art style and themes being dealt with - death, sin, punishment and atonement - are incredibly dark. In learning the truth, it becomes quickly apparent that Tormentum is certainly not a game for the fainthearted. Without any recollection of how he arrived there, the story gradually unfolds as our protagonist learns more about himself and what he's done to deserve such a terrible existence. The dreamlike and nightmarish landscape whips by below. Tormentum opens with our unarmed protagonist being held in a locked metal cage beneath a hellish flying machine. It has the feel of a dark and twisted version of Machinarium, Dark Souls and I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream.

It is a completely twisted world, populated by things that should only inhabit our worst nightmares.

In what can only be described as disturbingly brilliant, the world of Tormentum looks like it has been ripped straight out of the sketch book of Giger. A future that shows aliens and humans twisted together into a cold and biomechanical relationship is truly freaky stuff. While I found the aliens to be sufficiently scary, it was the dark and creepy universe in which the movies take place - created from the mind of surrealist painter H.R.

I remember watching the movie Aliens for the first time many years ago.
