When I first heard of the possibility to work on Torment, it was difficult to mask my excitement. Having played the original growing up, I was looking forward to contributing to its next iteration.

Torment was one of the first titles that dotBunny negotiated credit options on, spearheading an initiative to expose our work publicly.
