Welcome one, and welcome all, to a game about updating your journal. Planescape: Torment is a second-edition Dungeons & Dragons CRPG developed by Black Isle Studios and published by Interplay back in 1999.

It’s a classic isometric CRPG made in BioWare’s Infinity Engine, with all the good and bad that entails. It’s a one-of-a-kind adventure about an immortal who loses his memory every time he dies, trying to piece together who he is by wading through the wreckage left behind in the wake of his past lives, and uncovering the mystery of how he came to be this way—and who it is that keeps trying to kill him.

Along the way, our nameless hero will recruit a squad of interesting characters that subvert pretty much every fantasy trope you can think of, explore a world that seems to spit in the face of classic fantasy, and get mixed up in a wild collection of bizarre and exciting stories. I hope you’ve brought your reading glasses, though, because this game is all about text and reading.
