Torn away is an “adventure” game concentrating on a young girl called Asya who’s family is ripped apart by the German invasion of the Soviet Union during the early days of World War 2.
One she’s sat reminiscing over a family meal with her parents, the next, coming to terms with a distant mother and an even more distant father on the front lines.
The game starts in Asya’s bedroom, with her mother’s birthday approaching, you’ll need to collect crayons to create a nice picture for her, while chatting away to imaginary characters in a toy horse, doll and later a mitten.
This all combines to give Asya a very young and immature background as you point and click through a few rooms to complete various tasks preparing for your mother’s return home. Unfortunately War has other ideas and before you know it, Asya is ripped from her home and out in the open. This is the point the game shifts from a pretty bland, slow and cumbersome point and click adventure to a side-scrolling platform adventure similar on style to Limbo or Inside.
With your good friend comrade Mitten for company, you’ll first chase a hare, then encounter a small hut, which reintroduces a few point and click instances, but nothing that really disturbs this new found flow.
As you progress through this second chapter, the game really starts to feel established, it’s given the character enough of a backstory that she’s almost interesting, but the actual gameplay system has improved ten-fold.
You’ll find yourself evading torchlights near a military camp, only to pick up a few hunters who you’ll have to evade, but unfortunately during our review that’s where our enjoyment, and the game stopped…
Theres a bridge over an ice cold river where our young protagonist trips over and just as her persuer catches up, the bridge collapses saving Asla.
Sadly, while RT shows an interaction point to the right, you can’t move, and the only option is to reload the checkpoint.
running back through to this point, the bridge is still broken and after floating over the gap, you’re again stuck in the same location and unable to move.
There’s a strange frozen distortion animated on screen but everything else is (pardon the pun) frozen.
We restarted the game and encounter the exact same problem at the exact same time, so it’s a little tough to give a full review until the game is fixed, with that in mind we obviously have to take into account such issues, but in the hope they’ll be fixed soon, out final verdict will be based on what we could play, not on what or why we couldn’t.
While the first chapter was deathly boring and felt like a completely different game, I can understand the developers wanting to build a little backstory, but it’s not until the second

When we find out that there’s a gaming anniversary going on or will be happening soon, we can’t help but celebrate the game. That goes double if the game is impactful in some respect or helped set a trend that many games followed. Many of you are likely fans of the beloved character Phoenix Wright.
