Description

Torin's Passage is a 1995 family SCI2.1 adventure game by Leisure Suit Larry designer, Al Lowe.

Synopsis

The protagonist of the game is Torin, the son of a farming family on the planet of Strata. An evil sorceress named Lycentia (voiced by Christine McMerdo Wallis) captures his family with a magic spell and he embarks on a quest to find her and free his parents.

Torin travels to the "lands below" to worlds beneath the surface of the nested planet, through colossal crystal columns called phenocrysts. These phenocrysts transfer life-giving sunlight—and people—to the lower worlds with erresdy powder. He is aided by a purple dog-like creature called Boogle, who is able to change himself into a variety of shapes. As Torin travels downward, scenes of both his and Lycentia's pasts reveal their true relation as well as Torin learning about his true identity and the true cause for his journey.

About

The Worlds of Strata

Strata

 

Torin’s Passage takes place on the nested worlds of Strata. There are five levels:

• The Lands Above
• Escarpa
• Pergola
• Asthenia
• Tenebrous
• The Null Void at the very center.

It has three moons and at least one sun. The worlds are connected by shafts of crystal called phenocrysts. Crystals are abundant on Strata. They grow like mountains in the lands above and are omnipresent in the core of the planet. Phenocrysts were invented by Tor the First in the Unity Period, when all the worlds were united under one ruler from the Lands Above. After his death, the worlds drifted apart spiritually and politically, but not physically.

Before Torin, the last time a phenocryst was used was when Lycentia was ostracized. Accused of a crime she didn’t commit, she was banished to the lands below. She has spent years in her makeshift home in The Null Void before Torin arrives to release her.
