OhNoo Studio to Release Tormentum II on July 23, 2026
OhNoo Studio returns to the Tormentum series eleven years after Tormentum: Dark Sorrow. Tormentum II launches on July 23, 2026.
WARSAW, Poland — July 20, 2026 — OhNoo Studio will release Tormentum II, a dark point-and-click adventure set in a surreal world inspired by H. R. Giger and Zdzisław Beksiński, on July 23, 2026, for Windows, macOS, SteamOS and Linux. The game will be priced at US$19.99, with a 15% launch discount during its first two weeks. A free demo and the launch trailer are available on Steam.
The game is set in a future transformed by technology, not always for the better. David is building a simulation whose inhabitants are as intelligent as humans. Every night, he dreams of a mysterious locked chest and hears a woman's voice calling to him. When an anonymous seller offers him a mysterious coprocessor, elements of the dream begin to appear in his waking life. After installing the new hardware, David wakes up in a prison on an island in the middle of the sea. He is inside the world he created. With little memory of how he got there, he soon discovers that his creation has layers he never designed and a will he cannot control. Its inhabitants speak of gods: beings who arrive from distant places and vanish just as suddenly.
“When we started work on Tormentum II, the kind of artificial intelligence we imagined still felt like science fiction. Eight years later, AI is part of everyday life. The story now feels closer to reality than we ever expected.”
Tormentum II was announced in October 2018 and has been in development for nearly eight years. Its core development team consists of Piotr Ruszkowski and Łukasz Rutkowski, who also created the original Tormentum: Dark Sorrow. The first game's Steam reviews remain more than 90% positive. Tormentum II tells a standalone story, so no knowledge of the original is required, although returning players will recognize the series' atmosphere and approach to point-and-click gameplay.
