Hello and welcome to another let's play video. Today we are going to play one of my all time favourite games
called Torin's Passage. It's a point and click adventure that came out in 1995 and this is one of the first
games I've ever played when I think I was about five years old when I played this for the first time.
It's a game that means a whole amount to me. If you haven't played it before, I highly recommend
that you buy it, you can get it on GOG or possibly Steam. It's very cheap, you can play it on the PC,
highly recommend it so I'm super excited. I have been wanting to do this for such a long time and finally today
we're going to sit down and play Torin's Passage. Now one thing to bare in mind I was trying to decide whether to
record the music or not just due to copyright law. I've decided I'm going to play the game without the music
this time, I may come back and play the game a second time in the future depending on how things go.
The game is fantasti*c with the music so I highly recommend you buy the game and experience that for yourself.
Hopefully this gives you a taster of what the game is like. As I say it's alot better with the music
however if you want the full experience you should buy the game.
Perhaps there will be a bit more clarity on whether let's play videos are acceptable for the inclusion
of music. At the moment it's a bit of a grey area so I've avoided that situation for the time being.
It's an adventure game. I really don't want to tell you too much about it, I want to experience this game
with me. It's fantastic game, it's so funny, has such a great story, it's a game of it's time
but having said that I'm playing this now and I enjoy it just as much as I did when I
played this when I was younger and I don't know how many people know about this game,
I've always got the impression that it was well know only because it's such a great game
but I also feel like it's one of those games that is a hidden gem that not many people have played
so I would love to share it with you so let's get stared, let's play Torin's Passage.
I really hope you enjoy this.
Suspenseful creepy orchestra music. Baby crying sound effects.
It's okay.
Heavy Footstep sound effects
Thunder and lightning sound effects with dramatic music.
Rain sound effects. Dramatic orchestra music.
Birds chirping sound effects.
Torin! Torin! Torin! Now where is he?
Torin, when are you going to grow up? You picked up those tools from town like I told you?
I thought I would do that tomorrow? No, I need them in the morning. You get into Town right now.
Yes Sir. Remember Torin, don't be late for dinner. Okay Mum.
This isn't what I want in life, I should be a Hero. Heroes don't run errands right Boogle?
Hey Boogle? Boogle!? Asleep again?
Ah Boogle, is this all my life will ever be, running errands to this little Town,
I just, I just don't want to live my life without ever actually having lived my life.
Explosion sound. Dramatic music.
Chapter One The Lands Above
No! They never anyone! What happened!? I saw it, I saw everything.
Who are you!? What are you doing here!? I was just passing by when all that started,
I was so scared I hid behind your barn. Who could have done this?
It must have been one powerful Sorcerer or Sorceress. Why?
and who around here has such power? No one I know but once there was such a person
but no Lycentia has been gone for years. Lycentia!? Who's Lycentia!?
Oh I don't think it could possibly be her. She was banished to the lands below years ago.
The lands below, she must have been evil to be sent there? Yes
and there is no way you could ever find her down there. I know what I'll do,
I'll find this Lycentia and force her to release my parents.
I'm sure you will. Laughs.
Such a creepy character. Right so that was the opening for Torin's Passage and what a fantastic opening,
Already the visuals in this game are incredible for a game that came out in 1995
alot of work has gone into all of this artwork and design for the locations and the backdrop.
The music was brilliant there and the setup of the story, the really creepy guy with the snake charming special effect,
that was great. Obviously we have a story where there is a sort of Royal Palace and there is a baby that
has bee abducted, we don't quite know at this point what all that is about.
Presumably it's a prologue to where we are just now, it sets up the tone for the game really well I think.
Now this is Torin, he is our main character. We are going to be with him, that's us basically.
We're going to be on this adventure with him. We've also got our lovely Pet Cat, I think it's a Cat, yes it's a Cat
called Boogle and he's pink and green Cat which is just the most amazing thing they have ever created
for a game. I mean it's just genius. It's clever, it's fun, it's a memorable character and hopefully as we play along
you will find that too. A couple of features to show you before we get moving, there is a button here
that gives you helpful hints so if you get stuck, you can press that button and a man, a gentleman helps you out
and gives you some hints and tips. This is your score counter, as the game progresses you get
different points. Oh I don't realise that so your score of 999. I guess the aim is to get 999
and that completes the game. So that sort of gives you an idea of where you are, your progress in the game.
You can pause the game, that can be helpful perhaps if you just want to pause and think about something before
you do something. Here you have two buttons, one for Torin and one for Boogle, now
what that is as you go through your adventure you pick up different items so at the moment we are
seeing all of the items that Torin has. At the moment he doesn't have anything. If we click on Boogle
again he doesn't have anything at the moment either so we'll come back to that
and when you do have objects, what you can do is actually left click on them and drag them onto this
object and what it does is fires a special beam here and it kind of shows you a close up view
of that object. You can then interact with the object, sometimes you can open things or find out a little bit more
about them so that's a useful tool to have. These bits here, when you put the object on here
there is a laser beam that fires from both of these which then splits and goes to the centre here
so I'll show you that and that will make a bit more sense. This is, yes I do like that
it's a reminder of all the dialogue you have had in the game so that can be quite handy
as a bit of useful information that someone may have said and if you have forgotten it, you can find it
on here so that's really helpful. I love the sound effects. This button is really interesting too,
allows you to scroll along the landscape and see what else there is in the area so we can go all the way over here,
which is really good. Really good for discovering things and knowing where you might want to go next.
In the actual world you have also got your mouse cursor, you can select items obviously when it lights up like that, white
that's an indication that you can click on something and then you can interact with it.
Also you get these arrows buttons which as you might imagine these point you in the direction that you can travel so
let's see what we can do and let's play the game! I'm super excited. Point and click adventures.
