A cursed horror game inside another game, set on the 80’s Tormenture is a psychological horror game that takes players on a dark and immersive journey, complete with a shocking twist. In Tormenture , you step into the role of a young child drawn by rumors of a cursed 8-bit horror game. According to legend, the developers of this game made a pact with the devil to achieve eternal life, triggering terrifying consequences. Alone in the dark, you confront eerie, mind-bending paranormal events as you dive deeper into a game that blurs the boundaries between nightmare and reality. To unravel the game’s mysteries and avoid getting trapped within it, you must locate and gather four sacred relics, guiding you north across a sprawling map filled with complex puzzles—some of which bridge the line between the virtual and real worlds. But beware, for some creatures may break free from the screen and haunt the shadows of your own reality. Tormenture is inspired by classic horror games, featuring nostalgic mechanics and controls in a fully immersive 3D environment. It’s truly a “game within a game,” designed to keep you questioning what’s real and what’s not. A tribute to 8-bit classic games, Tormenture transports you to the 80’s, to a child’s room in which you will be playing the cursed game and interacting with classic toys like the Speak’n Spell, a Stereo, the Guess Who? and many others that will help you unlock hidden secrets. In this adventure, you’ll tackle puzzles that challenge both your wit and instincts. Every step in this dark journey brings you closer to unveiling hidden truths in this strange realm. Prepare to lose yourself in an spooky atmosphere that fuses retro charm with modern unpredictability  where every moment brims with tension and surprises.
