TORMENTOR - Official Torture Trailer - IndieGoGo campaign is live (HATRED, Agony devs)

Imagine graduating, applying for a game industry job, rejoice in being hired...!

...This is the game you'll be working on for the next 2 years.

Then your family asks about your job

Then your friends ask about job

Then your date ask about your job

Hatred was foolish enough but with this portfolio is clear whoever makes this is fucked in the head.
 
I played manhunt when I was 9 or 10 so nothing really shocks me any more.

This is super lame though. Who wants to torture a defenceless woman even in a video game. I can at least understand want to play as a criminal in GTA and do some unsavoury stuff, it's satirical and clever in a lot of its observations also. This is straight up torture porn a la saw movies, which are also entertainment and this should suppose be viewed in the same light.

Just freaks me out knowing that some actually weird ones will be getting off and enjoying this and hoping this was real.
They clearly aren't mentally stable, not much else needs to be said tbh, there is some serious head trauma going on there.
 
Mods will be glorious ridiculous.

On a serious note, besides all the freedom of artistic expression bla bla, I have a hard time imagining any well adjusted, adult parent working on something like this?
 
Torture becomes a mechanic, but not without purpose. The question is: Do they deserve it?
Sounds like a half-assed lazy attempt to justify their gameplay.

Just say it already that you have an urge to torment people in a game and are enjoying watching and doing it.

I went to their website and read the description for Hatred. Yeah these guys are not stable. I wonder if they've lost their whole family in some horrible way or something. Someone with a psychology degree could probably spend a lifetime trying to untie all those mind knots.

Never has being an FBI agent been so easy, just check steam libraries for who owns something like this and track them. Only a latent criminal would play something like this.
 
I remember Postal being the extreem, you could piss on people and use a cat as a silencer on your gun.

This is next level though, and not in a good way.
 
I can't imagine the level of sociopathic derangement you'd have to have to feel good about making a game like this. Hopefully it gets kicked off steam.
 
Ok, but there's some gameplay except to select a body part and watch a cutscene? Anyway I could see this have some potential in VR, but for the rest it looks pretty bad.
 
That's awesome.
Finally another gory game.
Like a playable Hostel.
It's too bad it's probably going to suck ass. Their games are jank at best. Hatred had some cool destruction physics which was pretty much it's only redeeming factor, but I heard that RTS they made was good. Agony and that Succubus game though? Man those are bottom tier.
 
LOL hey at least they made it inclusive and you can play as any gender and torture any gender.
Polygon and Kotaku approve!
 
LMAO at their developed games list


Its no worse than a Saw or Hostel movie, just a different medium. should those studios be shut down too?
I also LOVE me some Saw and Hostel movies (I am not alone, as Saw became an entire sub genre in horror)

Imagine being told what you can and can't create in polygons

These takes are so bad lol

What makes this ANY different than a Saw or Hostel movie (that people see in droves, in the THEATER) other than the medium?

Why is it ok in film but in a game its omg hes fucked in the head?????

They made 10+ Saw movies and 3 Hostel movies and countless spin offs

People... which includes family, friends and dates went in droves to theatres to see it.

It is NOT REAL and normal adults can separate that from on screen or in polygons. This person is absolutely wild for their take.

Would have no issues telling my family and friends the fuck I am working on and we'd laugh about it. I also don't live my life worrying what anyone else thinks either.
 
When did GAF turn into a bunch of pearl clutching Karens? There's a post in this thread actually advocating for a censorship board... wtf

This doesn't seem far removed from those Terrifier movies, which are super popular. I'm not the target audience (not a gorehound or into torture porn) but I'm not going to advocate for this to be banned either.
Well said. I'm not into this, but these pussy ass calls for censorship are disturbing. Nothing that's allowed in passive media should be off limits for interactive media, to think otherwise is to literally believe that literature and film should arbitrarily be allowed to explore much darker and more disturbing areas than interactive media without any reason beyond, "I don't like it." The mindset is nothing more than hypocrisy.
 
Imagine spending years of your waking life working on something like this. What a sad waste of time.
It'll likely be less of a waste of time due to the gore, torture, and shock factor, but more so because the game will likely have poor game systems, mechanics, and overall gameplay, etc...
 
This is pretty gross, like everything else they've worked on. I'm not about to go on a moral crusade about how this shouldn't be allowed to exist or anything like that, but I do have to wonder if the people that want this are doing ok.
 
I find it hard to be offended by something so route#1 edge-lordy.

Its just like a little kid opening his mouth to gross you out with his chewed up food. You don't validate the behaviour by reacting to it.

Don't kid yourself into thinking there's no market for this though.
