What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise the game's atmospheric graphics, compelling narrative across two timelines, and voice acting that effectively conveys emotion—though some note inconsistent voiceover coverage toward the end. However, the game is hampered by significant technical issues including severe performance problems, input lag, graphical settings not saving between sessions, and various bugs that undermine the experience; some players also found certain puzzles frustratingly obtuse or felt the game dragged on longer than necessary.
100 Percent Achivements On This Game The game seemed to DRAG ON A BIT too long in my opinion. I liked the graphics and the light coming through what appeared to be a dusty house. The puzzles werent all that easy to figure out in my opinion. At a few stages I didnt know how to progress so I had to check a walkthrough. The voiceovers were good with every letter..... but what happened towards the end? 3-4 letters had no voiceover at all, they suddenly lost voiceover, its like they ran out of budget for the voiceover people, then all of a sudden end game the voiceovers returned. Finding the keys around the house was an ok task, but some of the puzzles got on my nerves and were a bit frustrating. it took away the immersion of the game as I liked the exploration and notes as they were read out. Overall pretty good game but I thought it dragged on. It took me 1h 50 to finish as some parts I took my time to enjoy the atmosphere and game. 6.5/7 out of 10. I would have scored higher rating if I hadnt had to keep going to YouTube to see what someone else did to progress the game. Worth the $10? No, I would have preferred it to be on sale during this STEAM SCREAM FEST 4 for …4 found this helpful
Portrait of a Torn is a first-person psychological mystery that places storytelling and atmosphere above traditional horror action. Developed by Indigo Studios - Interactive Stories and published by Firenut Games, the game follows Robert, a soldier returning home after years away, only to find his family residence abandoned and consumed by an unsettling silence. What begins as a simple search for answers gradually transforms into an emotional journey through forgotten memories, disturbing discoveries, and long-buried secrets. Rather than overwhelming players with monsters or combat, the experience builds suspense through careful exploration and a narrative that slowly reveals itself piece by piece. The game's greatest strength lies in how it delivers its story through environmental storytelling. Every room, discarded object, handwritten note, and hidden passage contributes another layer to the mystery, encouraging players to observe their surroundings instead of rushing toward the next objective. The abandoned mansion feels believable because every location appears to have its own history, allowing players to reconstruct past events naturally. This approach rewards patience and cu…1 found this helpful
BEAUTIFULLY SORROWFUL GAME I absolutely loved playing this game through and through. The story was written spectacularly, and refreshingly something new to the horror genre. The puzzles, while not too difficult, were actually quite fun because you have to go on somewhat of a 'clue hunt' to find the things you need to solve them. The game didn't rely on cheap jumpscares to frighten one, but the slow unveiling of a twisted and horrifying story led by an unknown apparition. Voice acting was stellar and whoever played 'the mother' I swear is the reincarnation of Bette Davis. You will be experiencing two different timelines within the game. Make sure to pay attention to those dates to see how well everything connects together at the end! Now on to my comments for what I think could be improvements within the game. Loading screens need to be left up for at least 30 seconds to a minute longer, as there is important story information being relayed in between chapters that I would have loved to have read. But unfortunately, as fast as they appeared they just as quickly disappeared, not leaving me enough time to read them. There were a few objects within the game that would have…1 found this helpful
I didn't expected on this, very sad story.
Enjoyed this game. Gave some creepy vibes without the jumpscares. The puzzles were straight forward and didn't require a lot of guesswork. As long as you explore you have everything you need. Sad story. Would recommend if you're looking for a dark, kinda creepy atmosphere without leaping from your seat.
Absuludulu unkuludupu!
