Torin's Passage Playthrough (Part 2)

Torin decides to actually go into the Crystal City for the first time in his life, only to meet an obnoxious guard. He tries to commmit suicide but is stopped by the game developers.

After touching another dangerous object (sharp spines on lethal-looking plants; Torin's judgment increases tenfold...) and showing off his acrobatic skills, Torin crosses the valley to a "deserted" house. After trying to break in, he realizes he should probably read the instructions on the sign next to the door.

One short puzzle later...

Torin and the guard are in deep conversation, and we are about to discover just how to get to The Lands Below.

I remember this game. Your little annotations are hilarious.

I want there to a sequel to this game. Why? Because the Lands above may be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

No, I'm not kidding. TELL me that landscape isn't freakin' gorgeous.

I agree; let's start a petition for Al Lowe to make another game. I'm not sure what he's up to right now, but I did communicate with him briefly before I put the videos up (with his blessing).

He's considering putting the game up on his website, but it would take a much more organized effort to bring a sequel into the picture.

Thanks for bringing back memories of this game. I absolutely loved this game.

[fuzzymonkey41]

No problem; it seems there are more people out there who enjoyed old adventure games than I realized.

I miss this game so much! I remember being obsessed with it when I was 6! I tried installing it on my computer but it says that the game is too old </3

[FieryV]

what do the counts, boogle head, and hourglass mean on Torin's 'Dashboard'?

[Renshato]

I loved how you could actually die in this game.

Thanks for posting this! I loved this game soo much as a child. It came with our first family computer in 1995. It was an IBM Aptiva. Do you know if this game was 16-bit? I think it was because I tried to install it on Windows 7 64-bit and it would not allow me too. 16-bit cannot be emulated in Windows 64-bit.

I haven't played this game in 10 years, but I keep finding myself saying the lines with the characters, which says to me that I used to play this way too much.
