Your journey will take you through three different locations, each one offering plenty of grotesque beauty to keep you interested. Usually it’s clear what the right choice is, but occasionally it’s more vague. It’s a sort of a journey of redemption in which your choices shape your destiny. But instead, you’ll encounter tortured souls and you have to decide whether to help them or not. It also might sound like you’re the one who will be tortured in this game. You’re told by a guard that “this place will purge you of all evil hatched within your bowels.” It’s not clear what you’ve done and what evil needs to be purged from your soul. Without giving too much away, you start off in a cage, being transported to a cell in a castle. But as is, it still kept me drawn to the game, eager to meet more characters and discover what’s going on here. Even this could have been expanded on so your choices feel more important and impactful.

But because at certain points you must make decisions that will affect the ending of the game. Not because they’re any trickier, mind you. But the puzzles shine when they work within the story. The puzzles are never too challenging, and many are simply puzzles we’re used to seeing in just about every adventure game - sliding blocks, memory, a piano mini game, and others you’ve likely seen before. There’s no doubt about it that the artwork is the game’s strongest point. If you’re a fan of this kind of artwork, I would highly recommend picking up the game. The twisted environments and tormented creatures look like they could have sprouted directly from Giger’s mind. Just about every screen in the game is a work of art worthy of framing and hanging on a wall. The artwork is what first grabbed my attention and it’s the main aspect that kept me hooked, excited to get home and continue playing each day. His works have a very distinct look, usually fusing humans with machines, and the inspiration is very clear in Tormentum. For those who don’t know, Giger was part of the special effects team for the film Alien.

Giger, so I’ve had a lot of exposure to his works, as well.

Google, if you're reading this, you can make this easy and provide a full list of participating apps so that we don't have to do this silly business.I’ve always been a fan of weird, surreal and creepy artwork, such as Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights. If you spot an app on Play Pass that we haven't listed, perhaps has a new name, is about to be taken off the program, or are a publisher who has an app in the program, get in touch with me at and we'll bring it on. Our markdown process admittedly took a giant gap last year, but we're back on the horse for 2021 with monthly updates. Also, don't be surprised to see some duplicate titles, perhaps for generic games or apps - some of them come from different publishers!

Some apps, such as Tasker, aren't listed in the tab, but do have the Play Pass icon attached to their listings, so we're still on a "be on the lookout" mission for those remaining apps as with new apps coming into the program. We sorted through all the initial titles listed in each app and game category showcased in the Play Pass tab of the Play Store and were able to find 251 of the apps available.
