Tormentum – Dark Sorrow Review | Ghost volta
Thomas of Ghost Volta: "“Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never merely as a means to an end, but always at the same time as an end.” – Immanuel Kant
It was with this quote that the H. R. Giger-esque world of Tormentum opens. Well, that and flying towards a giant, evil-looking castle in a cage on the bottom of a zeppelin while having a conversation with a big, anthropomorphic rat. You quickly discover through said conversation that you were apparently taken from your home when meteors started falling from the sky, as is apparently tradition. The operative word there being “apparently” as it is also discussed that the main character has amnesia and can’t remember anything from his previous life, including his own name. He (you) then spends the rest of the game attempting to escape the evils of the castle and indeed the world, gradually coming to know his place in it, as well as questing to rediscover his true identity."
