In a case of better late than never, inXile has released the Gamescom trailer forTorment: Tides of Numenera, their upcoming classic RPG which is presently in early access on Steam. The game is due in the first quarter of 2017, and will be coming to PS4 and Xbox One in addition to consoles. Check it out above.
The trailer takes a closer look at the story elements you will be exploring as you play through the game, presenting some deep musings about the nature of life. These are clearly timeless ponderings as the game takes place 1 billion years into the future of humanity. And they thought we wouldn’t last!
In addition to the story and handcraftedcombatencounters, the trailer gives us a look at the different options available to players other than violence when resolving these encounters, or Crises as the game calls them. The impressive amount of choices and dialogue options is also on display here, confirming ourinterview with inXileon the presence of a million words.
The trailer finishes by posing the question that has become the mantra of the game’s development and marketing, “What does one life matter?”. Call it a hunch, but this may not a go fetch this, go fix this Action/Errand RPG.
