Planescape: Torment

Planescape: Torment is a single-player fantasy role-playing video game developed for Microsoft Windows by Black Isle Studios. It was released on December 12, 1999 by Interplay Entertainment.

Although Planescape: Torment did not gain significant commercial success, it did receive widespread critical acclaim, and is now considered a cult classic. It is praised for its originality, its focus on immersive story and dialogue, its philosophical themes, its dark setting, and the unique persona of its protagonist.

The game is set in the multiverse of Planescape, an Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D) fantasy campaign setting, and utilizes a modified version of the Infinity Engine, an engine created by BioWare for Baldur's Gate, a previous AD&D game.

The game was re-released on DVD in 2009 and a digital version of the game, compatible with modern operating systems, can be found on Gog.com since September 2010. Some tweaking with fan-created mods is recommended for a better experience regardless.

A spiritual successor, Torment: Tides of Numenera, set in Monte Cook's Numenera campaign setting, was developed and released by inXile Entertainment in 2017.
