Torin must now acquire the means to make the dangerous journey to Tenebrous, confront Lycentia and rescue his family. Enormous phenocrysts penetrate all layers of Strata, transferring sunlight, and they also allow teleportation to those possessing a magical powder. Four subterranean layers are also populated - Escarpa, Pergola, Asthenia and Tenebrous (the infamous Lands Below). You see, Strata is unique in that the outer surface, The Lands Above, is not the only inhabitable area. A stranger appears, who tells Torin about an evil sorceress, Lycentia, who was banished to The Lands Below years before, and whom he believes is responsible for the capture of Torin's family. Players take on the role of Torin Farnham, the strapping young lad in question, whose quiet life on the planet Strata is violently shaken by his parents' abduction by an unknown force.
Game designer Al Lowe, famous for the risqué Leisure Suit Larry series, wanted to create a title that he could enjoy with his daughter, and that other parents could enjoy playing with their children.
In this particular instance, we'll be discussing Torin's Passage, released in 1995 by Sierra On-Line. Hmm, perhaps I should be more specific, as the preceding synopsis can apply to any number of fantasy titles. One day, after he'd come of age, the evil forces that commenced when he was a baby made a sudden reappearance, forcing him on a journey not only to save the world, but of self-discovery.
