Torment: Tides of Numenera

Torment: Tides of Numenera is a single-player, isometric, narrative-driven role-playing game set in Monte Cook’s Numenera universe. You awaken in a body once occupied by the Changing God, a being who has cheated death for millennia, and travel through the Ninth World with strange companions. As you flee the ancient, unstoppable creature called the Sorrow, you face the question: what does one life matter?

The Ninth World

Explore an original setting filled with imaginative locations, unusual items to use in and out of battle, and feats of magic. The story is personal and character-driven, with nontraditional companions whose motivations and desires shape their actions. Their goals may help or hinder you on your journey.

Choices and consequences

Your words, choices and actions are your primary means of influence. The game explores philosophical questions through both its story and mechanics, and morality in the Ninth World is not simply a matter of right and wrong. You decide the fates of people around you, while characters respond to your decisions and reputation, shaping how events unfold and making the story replayable.

Crises and combat

The Crisis system makes combat more than a matter of attacking enemies. You plan your way through handcrafted set pieces that combine battles with environmental puzzles, social interaction, stealth and other challenges.
