So I thought that was nice, and also this game is very good at playing with expectations, especially when it comes to gaming conventions, and helping the desperate characters you meet. I’m trying to think how fast I can get through some other playthroughs so I can see what happens if you get the other key, or if your actions match the key, or if it matches anyway.ĭoes anyone have any ideas about the red hooded figure waiting in the chair at the hands and lady statue?ĮDIT: I forgot I wanted to say that cleaning the painting gallery is a good way to make the player look at and appreciate the hand-made art for the game. I made the sword, stabbed the statue, weighed my soul against the key, and got credits!ĭid you all pick the good angel key thing? Did you all fall to hell too? Yes I suppose I could have destroyed it, but it seemed pointless really. I didn’t destroy the painter’s gallery, and instead brushed all 30. I don’t believe him, but I’m going to have to play the whole fucking game over again, just to not say where he is hiding, so maybe I"m just a little cross right now. The Icari tried to blame me, that because I did not give him the egg, he was forced to betray his friends for the horned demons.

This is the only “bad” decision I made in the entire game, and yes it was enough for me to be damned to hell. I told them the Icari’s location, where he was hiding so they could get their revenge. The lizard thief tried to protect them, but the crown I brought him in fact had no special powers. When I awoke from the blacksmiths house, the icari had spread the poison mist, and all the little imp creatures had been slaughtered and burned. I released him, and he promised to behave. He begged for mercy at my hands, and implied he had already been punished for trying to betray and kill the queen. When I completed the mage’s quest in the cave, the jester from level one was summoned. I like this blacksmith character, and the fact that he gave me objectives from the word go, and seems to be the only character that doesn’t try to manipulate me, double cross or hurt me. The music has changed a lot in this new area, almost more upbeat in some places. I often miss whole screens because I just don’t know they are there. The exits, like which screen edges lead to a new screen or path, need to be better indicated! This subtle white shape is not enough for me. I can’t believe I forgot my chief complaint about this game.


The save and quit only option didn’t really irritate me until the end. Not that it would really take me that long, but still. The finale shows you all the choices up til now, and it’ only classified 1 that I did as “evil.” And then because I chose the good guy key, it called me arrogant and damned me to hell.Īnd like we talked about at the beginning, even the tough the mistake I made was in the last chapter, I can’t go back and try it again without starting the whole game again. I finished tormentum last night, and now I’m mad lol.
