You are born falling out of orbit, a new mind in a body once occupied by a changing God, a being who has cheated death for millennia. If you survive, your journey through the ninth world will only get weirder...and more deadly.
With a host of strange companions whose motives and goals can help or harm you, must you escape the ancient, unstoppable being called Sorrow and Respond?
Turment: Tides of Numenera is the themed successor to Planescape: Torment, one of the most critically acclaimed and beloved RPGs of all time. Turment: Tides of Numenera is a single meter RPG based on storytelling in the Numenera Monte Cook universe and brought to you by the creative team behind Planescape: Torment and the award-winning Wasteland 2.
Functions:
- A deep, thematically satisfying story. The philosophical underpinnings of torment stimulate play, both mechanically and narratively. Your words, choices and actions are your main weapons.
- A world unlike any other. Journey through the ninth world, a fantastic, original setting, with impressive visuals, unusual and unpredictable items for use in and out of battle, and amazing feats of magic. Based on technologies used in Obsidian Entertainment's award-winning pillars of eternity, the Numenera Monte Cook setting provides endless wonders and incredibly creative places for you to explore.
- Rich, personal storytelling. Thoughtful and character-driven, the story is epic in feel but deeply personal in nature, with unconventional characters and companions whose motivations and desires shape their actions throughout the game.
- Reactivity, reproducibility and tides. Your choices matter, and morality in the ninth world is not a simple matter of "right" and "wrong." You will decide the fate of those around you, and the characters will react to your decisions and reputation. The result is a deeply replayable experience that naturally emerges from your actions throughout the game.
- A new take on combat. With a crisis system, combat combat is more than just beating up your enemies. Plan your path through the manual script.
