Torn

Torn is a science-fiction mystery built for VR. Video blogger Katherine Patterson finds an abandoned mansion in a forgotten forest, filled with strange machines and disturbing experiments. It belongs to Dr. Lawrence Talbot, a famous physicist who disappeared more than 64 years ago. Patterson hopes the discovery will make her career, but she finds Talbot alive, trapped in another dimension and without his body.

The mansion and The Parallel

You help Talbot reactivate the mysterious machines in his mansion, solving puzzles as they bring the building to life. The story then follows Patterson as she uncovers the truth about Talbot and the new dimension he calls “The Parallel.” The mansion is a VR sandbox filled with puzzles and devices created by the disembodied physicist.

Gravity tool

Talbot’s gravity tool lets you fling objects such as pianos with a flick of your wrist. You can also stack objects into giant towers and send them crashing down.

Story and score

Torn’s character-driven story asks you to remember what you see in Talbot’s world, where truth is described as an invention of the mind. The game is written by Neill Glancy and Susan O’Connor, with an original orchestral score composed by Garry Schyman.
