Torment: Tides of Numenera Released

After a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign and four years of development, InXile’s spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment, Torment: Tides of Numenera is out on both Steam and GOG. The base edition will cost you $44.99, or your regional equivalent, with more expensive, Legacy and Immortal, editions available at a premium.

In case you somehow missed what this game was about, here’s a short rundown:

Explore Earth one billion years in the future in the science-fantasy setting of Numenera. Discover the Ninth World built on the bones of extinct, hyper-advanced civilizations and leave your own mark on it. Make thousands of essential choices, face the consequences, and meet death incarnated as you seek the answer to the ultimate question: What does one life matter?

Before the Ninth World was born, many great civilizations had risen and fallen, leaving behind remnants of their advanced technology. One man discovers a way to use these devices, known as the numenera, to jump between bodies and thus cheat death. Yet his method awakens a ancient and deadly force called The Sorrow, which tries to kill the death-cheater and all his former bodies: including you.
