Perelesoq and OverGamez Bring Heart-wrenching Tale to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation with the Release of Torn Away
Indie studio Perelesoq and publisher OverGamez have joined forces to bring gamers a unique and emotional experience with their latest release, Torn Away. After a successful launch on Steam, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S in the fall of 2023, Torn Away is now set to make its way onto Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4/5 on February 3d, 2024.
Set against the backdrop of World War II, Torn Away is a captivating blend of adventure games, side-scrollers, and first-person levels that follow the journey of a young girl named Asya. After being taken away from her home and forced into a Nazi labor camp with her mother, Asya manages to escape and embarks on a perilous journey to find her way back home.
Through the eyes of Asya, players will experience the heartbreaking realities of war and the importance of hope, survival, and humanity. Torn Away is more than just a game, it is an emotional rollercoaster that will leave players reflecting on the value of home and family.
The game features levels that pay homage to classic adventure games, mini-games that allow players to see the world through Asya’s eyes, and platformer levels with stealth mechanics where players must hide from soldiers and overcome obstacles in harsh weather conditions. Additionally, the first-person cinematic levels will fully immerse players in Asya’s story, allowing them to experience the danger she faced firsthand.
One of the main highlights of Torn Away is its touching story, inspired by the real-life diaries of children during wartime. It sheds light on the often overlooked fate of “Ostarbeiters” – individuals who were forced to work in Nazi labor camps after being deported from Eastern Europe. The game’s visual language is a stunning blend of socialist realism and modern French animation, with 3D levels stylized as 2D art. The original soundtrack is also a fitting tribute to the game’s inspiration, drawing inspiration from the music of renowned filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki, French New Wave cinema, and experimental electronic music.
Perelesoq and OverGamez have truly outdone themselves with Torn Away, delivering a game that is both visually stunning and emotionally impactful. Speaking about their collaboration, the developer and publisher expressed their excitement about bringing the game to a wider audience on the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation platforms.
“Torn Away is a game that we are incredibly proud of, and we are thrilled to see it make its way onto Nintendo Switch and PlayStation,” said the developer, Perelesoq. “We hope that players will connect with Asya’s story and appreciate the important themes that the game explores.”
As Torn Away expands its reach to new platforms, it continues to garner critical acclaim and a loyal following from players. With its unique blend of gameplay elements and a touching narrative, Torn Away is a must-play for anyone looking for a thought-provoking and emotionally impactful gaming experience.
Torn Away is developed by Perelesoq and published by OverGamez. It is available now on Steam, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, with the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4/5 release set for February 3d, 2024.
