Overview
Description

Set after Borderlands 2, this five‑part series follows a Hyperion suit with Jack‑like ambitions and a Pandoran con artist as they chase a massive cash haul. The game blends Telltale’s signature choice‑driven storytelling with the humor and chaos of the Borderlands universe. Players navigate point‑and‑click puzzles, make decisions that shape the narrative, and encounter familiar vault hunters, gangsters, and bandit lords across a colorful, sci‑fi world.

Torin's Passage is a charming graphic adventure game developed by Sierra On-Line that appeals to players of all ages. Follow young Torin as he journeys from his peaceful home in the land of Strata through five unique, nested underground worlds to rescue his parents from the evil sorceress Lycentia. Filled with clever puzzles, humorous dialogue, and a delightful companion named Boogle who can transform into various tools, the game offers a lighthearted yet engaging experience. With its clever winks to an older audience hidden beneath a child-friendly exterior, it delivers classic 90s adventure gaming at its finest.
