Torin's Passage is a somewhat obscure Adventure Game released by Sierra in 1995 and created by Al Lowe, who is best known as the creator of the Leisure Suit Larry series of adult games.While watching Mrs. Doubtfire in the theater with his daughter, Al noticed that the laughter coming from the audience came in two pitches, the children laughing at the slapstick, and the parents laughing at the more adult-oriented jokes kids wouldn't get. This gave him the idea to create a more family-friendly game with humor suitable for both younger and older players, and thus Torin's Passage was born.The plot centers around Torin, the son of farmers living on the planet of Strata, which is comprised of different nested worlds, each one inside the other. Torin lives on the surface of Strata, but when his parents are kidnapped by the sorceress Lycentia, Torin must journey to the "Lands Below" in order to rescue them.Torin's quest takes him deeper and deeper into Strata, through a series of bizarre worlds, until he uncovers the truth about his family and about his story. | |

Creator Cameo: That's the head of Mark Seibert, composer of the game's soundtrack, on the body of the piano player in Chapter Two. Al Lowe himself can be seen trapped in one of the crystals in Lycentia's lair. He also makes a voice-only cameo reading you a secret death message in one of the game's Easter Eggs. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Torin's Passage (Video Game) / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: While the trailer does include animations from the finished game, some characters, particularly Pecand and Leenah, are notably different from their in-game counterparts. It also shows a different version of the scene with Torin in front of the guardhouse. In the trailer, the door is already open for some reason and Torin asks Boogle to turn into an axe, which he then uses to hit the crystal (after Boogle first turns into an "X"). In the game itself you use an actual axe to do this instead. Torin does ask Boogle to turn into a different kind of "axe" in the game proper, but it's for a throwaway gag and Boogle never adds this shape to his inventory. | |

| Torin's Passage (Video Game) / int_1bd4c0bf | comment |
Unwinnable by Design: Sierra's favorite trope, completely averted. The game is carefully designed in such a way that it's impossible to get into a "dead end" situation. Even if Torin dies, there is a "Retry" option instead of the usual "Restore/Restart". | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Torin's Passage (Video Game) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: In Chapter Five, Torin accidentally crashes into the Help menu at the top of the screen while crawling through a maintenance shaft and asks the player to click out of it so he can proceed. In another part, Torin is knocked unconscious after entering Escarpa. The user must have Boogle become a nurse, who then performs various first aid actions on him without success. This leads him to change the menu from Boogle actions to inventory in order to get the ammonia, which he uses to wake him. Torin then asks how he did it. | |

Lame Rhyme Dodge: The Queen of the Escarpa, Di, often quips sarcastically and harshly to her husband Rupert. Each time, the king assumes he has misheard his wife and asks her to speak up (this time with his full attention on her), to which she almost always replies in a softer and more supportive manner in a manner that rhymes with her previous quip. He instantly believes her every time. | |

Easter Egg | |

Easter Egg If you make a certain obviously fatally stupid choice at the very end of the game, the death message's voiceover will, instead of a simple reading of the text box, be a personal thanks from Al Lowe, who is pleased that someone else shares his sense of humor. By standing in front of the stage curtains of the Tenebrous theater, you will hear various songs from other Sierra games being performed, including Girl in the Tower, Cell Block Love, Leisure Suit Larry's theme, Consumite Furore, and The Ballad of Freddy Pharkas. | |

Visible Odor: Twice in Escarpa. Pulling the tile out of one of the caves in Escarpa reveals a hole through which a brown cloud emerges. Torin quickly comments on the stench. Torin has to use a carpet to protect himself against the skunks' spray in another of the caves in Escarpa, after which the carpet has a green stain and emits green vapors. | |

Batman Gambit: Part of Pecand's scheme to convince Torin to go after Lycentia was mentioning that she had been banished to the Lands Below, since as far as Torin knows, it's simply a prison where undesirable people are sent. In the end, the gambit doesn't work, as Torin is moral enough to free Lycentia from her collar and seek answers instead of revenge. | |

Instead of praise, she was falsely accused of murdering the King and Queen and exiled to the Null Void, an empty space at the core of Strata where she slowly grew into an evil sorceress. | |

Flashback | |
| Torin's Passage (Video Game) / int_53c9fc92 | comment |
Flashback: Chapters 2, 3, and 4 begin with flashbacks to a guard reporting to Kurtzwell on the death of the king and queen and the disappearance of the prince, Lycentia's conviction and exile for the latter crime, and her bargain with Pecand to get back to the Lands Above, respectively. It's not immediately clear that the first of those scenes is a flashback, so it doubles as a Twisted Echo Cut. | |

| Torin's Passage (Video Game) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: The natives of the Lands Above banish their worst criminals to the Lands Below; as a result, they assume everyone down there is nasty. It's also shown that the people below have a similarly dim view, regarding the people above as "savages" for lacking advanced technology. Torin himself is pretty quick to overcome his bad impression and act polite towards the people below, while also patiently shrugging off the "savage" reference. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |

Heel–Face Turn: Lycentia. After Torin releases the collar from her neck, her drive for revenge melts away, and she ends up finishing off Pecand by trapping him in one of her crystals and leaving him in the Null Void. She even returns to The Lands Above with Torin, although it's unclear what her life will be like in the future.. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Torin's Passage (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Each of the worlds under the Lands Above has a name reflecting an archaic word. Escarpa, a kingdom built into a giant cliff, is similar to the word "escarpment", which describes that kind of geography perfectly. Similarly, a pergola is an open-air garden or patio. Fittingly enough, Pergola in this game is a lush forest. The fourth world is named Asthenia, which essentially means "weakness". It doesn't fit as well as the others but it could refer to how abandoned it is, or to the asthenosphere (the uppermost section of the earth's mantle, i.e. where solid rock becomes magma). Finally, "tenebrous" means dark or obscure. The world of Tenebrous is in the center of Strata, cut off from the atmosphere, and contains the gravity-free space known as the Null Void. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Torin's Passage (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: There's an in-game hint system, but the hints aren't always that useful. When you have to find that damn wrench, the in-game hint mentions that there's a gleaming object somewhere on the screen. That's it. No suggestion as to where on the screen, naturally. Oh, and the "screen" in question is really an area about three times as wide as a typical room. To make matters worse, the gleam isn't the only moving object in view - splashing lava and popping bubbles can easily draw the player's eye away from the target. | |

In a later puzzle, you have to climb a slippery slope by clicking on the safe spots. The grass tells you if you're hovering over the right spot, but it's still very easy to miss the safe areas. The worst part would be the audio clues. Apparently, grass can't play Hot and Cold, so it just pipes out various incredibly irritating forms of "yes" or "no". | |

Pixel Hunt | |
| Torin's Passage (Video Game) / int_8fcb1ef4 | comment |
Pixel Hunt: There is a maze leading to a machine that cannot be activated without a wrench. The wrench is located back in the maze, on a completely different path. It's also invisible, except for a gleam every several seconds that's only a few pixels in size. So you won't even know the general location without a lucky glance. One world also opens with you revealing the control panel to a door. Said panel has a button on it that isn't made obvious at all and its hotspot is downright microscopic. You'd be forgiven for having to be told by the hint system that it was there. In a later puzzle, you have to climb a slippery slope by clicking on the safe spots. The grass tells you if you're hovering over the right spot, but it's still very easy to miss the safe areas. The worst part would be the audio clues. Apparently, grass can't play Hot and Cold, so it just pipes out various incredibly irritating forms of "yes" or "no". | |

Shout-Out: In a typical form of Parental Bonus, the game is littered with all sorts of pop culture references most kids would miss: Yes, that is Sailor Saturn of Sailor Moon at the end portion of the game. You probably recognized Darth Vader and Yoda of Star Wars without our help. Even the autoplay window on the old CD versions got in on the fun, asking the player "How about a nice game of Torin's Passage?" in its prompt window. After solving a long string of puzzles involving a deadly bog, Torin leaves his bag on it and wonders how he's going to retrieve it. After Boogle simply walks on the bog to get it, he questions why he didn't do that earlier, and translates Boogle's response to "what do you mean 'only when it was funny?'" At one point in the game, you run across a pair of skunks who are named Sam & Max. Bags Bunny references everyone's favourite lagomorph from Warner Brothers cartoons. | |

The moment she realizes Torin has removed her collar, she immediately makes up with him, and she and Torin save each other's lives in the game's climax. | |

Miscarriage of Justice: Lycentia was trying to save Torin from Pecand, and is wrongfully accused of murdering the royal couple. The judge couldn't find enough evidence to convict her of murder, but he had quite enough to convict her of kidnapping Torin and banish her to the Lands Below in the backstory. | |

Alter Kocker: Veder, the old man sitting on the ledge in Chapter Two, talks and acts like this. He even says "Oy!" at one point. | |

Manipulative Editing | |
| Torin's Passage (Video Game) / int_e409de66 | comment |
Manipulative Editing: Third to last puzzle in the game. Luckily, the recording in question is stored on a crystal shard (like everything else in the game), which accidentally gets smashed into fragments. So you don't need to think too hard about what you can make with it. | |

| Torin's Passage (Video Game) / int_e542d80a | comment |
Gonk: A number of characters are homely in a funny, cartoonish way, most notably the people of Escarpa. This results in the princess Leenah, who looks like a normal person, being viewed as highly unusual by the other squat, homely Escarpans. However, even in the "normal" world above, even the guard is a Gonk character. | |

Overly Long Scream | |
| Torin's Passage (Video Game) / int_f466c9b1 | comment |
Overly Long Scream: Torin, when he falls down into Tenebrous. He has to take a couple of breaths to keep going. And in two possible deaths in which he falls a long distance, he does a similar Overly Long Scream, but punctuated by collisions. | |

Alien Fair Folk | |
| Torin's Passage (Video Game) / int_f8c2936e | comment |
Alien Fair Folk: The game has both sci-fi and fantasy elements because it's set in a magical world located on a different planet called Strata. While the characters and landscapes of the Lands Above look like they came out of a Medieval fantasy novel, some of the creatures from the lower worlds have a definite sci-fi vibe. In particular, this concerns the inhabitants of the Tenebrous who are either humanoids very reminiscent of The Greys or bizarre creatures like giant centipedes. | |
