Unfortunately doesn't quite hit the mark. While I think I enjoyed this game and I completed all of it,* I feel like I only understood about 60% of the disjointed storytelling. I also faced several unpleasant bugs throughout, including unwanted progression during exploration (which the collectables highly encourage), graphics settings that would not save between game areas and cutscenes, and being told I gathered all …

First of all "MI PAIS MI PAIS!" I've only played 30 min and I'll probably edit and update my review as I play more but so far I love it. The story catches you right away, the sounds are so delicate and calm, but at the same time haunting and sad. I can't wait to see where the story goes. Very easy to play, wished it could be played with the controller, but I don't mind using the keyboard. Totally recommended! Suerte …

A game about loss and frustration, which is deliberately conveyed in the mechanics. Much improved from previous builds, there's now a nice balance between puzzling, relaxation and story. Death means different things to everyone, and we all cope with it in contrasting ways. Ipa has just lost her sister Lulu, and she is trying to confront the pain and guilt associated with it. Explore surreal landscapes in search of …

Torii is a solid indie game. It's pretty short, it requires no more than 2-3 hs to complete, but it's replayable for some collectibles and trophies. Gameplay mixes some puzzles and a very basic but effective stealth. It's not difficult at all, it's very accesible for all kind of players. Story is also simple, but powerful. It's told in a pretty weird way though: cutscenes (if we can call it that way) are presented …

I miss this type of games, in an era where everything is NOW and overstimulating, Torii offers space and quietness. It's not peaceful, as it's a game that explores intricate emotions, but it's a reflexive journey. I'm enjoying it very much.

92% of the 26 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Torii. The complaint that keeps coming up: some technical bugs and glitches. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

I did a little bit of digging. This features footage stolen from a game called Torii: Beyond The Gates and it looks like it's set up to steal your Discord.

neutral · AI labelView post →Edit to reflect the arcade update* The new arcade mode reduced some of the obvious gameplay issues, such as the extremely low stamina and some* navigation problems (I have played it briefly after the initial update). I still don't like the game, I think overall it has a very lackluster design, and to be honest, after having such a horrible experience, it's too late to change my opinion, I think the game should be serviceable when it's released (at that price anyway). Originally the game took…

The download page looks very legit, but people have been routinely saying it's hacked their accounts. The REAL game is Torii: Beyond The Gates and that's available on Steam properly.

It's an introspective journey about the feelings that arise when facing the loss of a loved one. This is the trailer for the latest update! #gamedev #indiegame

Please, if you're enjoying the game, I invite you to leave a review. It's the most helpful thing for solo developers. ♥️ #gamedev #indiegame

positive · AI labelView post →Hey, it's Aliri! We're working hard, adding details to our game that reflect Japanese culture and lore. Ever heard of Torii gates? They're Japan's spirit gates, symbolizing Shinto beliefs. They separate the sacred from the everyday #GameDev #japaneseculture
neutral · AI labelView post →Torii is an emotive adventure with a deep introspective story that stands out in its artistic sections, from the Japanese style graphics, the story full of poetry and it's music with high emotional charge. The puzzles are not difficult but require good observation. It seems to me a quite different experience, it could be a little more polished in some areas, but for being an indie and the affordable price is excellent.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WOOW! Played Torii for a while and love it! Amazing atmosphere, great puzzles, nice story... and all developed by one man!! Just say CONGRATZ to Joaquín! I'll keep on playing and enjoying this amazing game.

neutral · AI labelView post →sometimes we forget that the sea of consciousness is composed, not of groups or organizations, but from the sum of individuals. Torii is a melancholy and sonderous experience that might not be pleasant for some, but it can reach into you and manifest brilliant and dark emotions if you let it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Also, turned out they stole pics and videos from a game called Torii: Beyond The Gates and were trying to pass that as their game on the fake site. That's why the site looked legit, because they were posing as a real game and calling it Sikimori. AGAIN, SIKIMORI IS FAKE. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE PLAYTEST

positive · AI labelView post →I recommend this game to any that wants to experience something different through a game. If what you want is to pry a demon's head open with an axe, I'll recommend to keep looking. Torii tells a story of 2 sisters while you resolve puzzles (some of them took me a while) in a intricate and beautiful world. The music is really relaxing and is the perfect kind of game for a rainy day. Of course it could use some polishing here and there, but it has only a day since published and I'm sure it…

I can't really say I fully understand everything but I know a whole lot of emotion and effort went into, bleeding on the pages kinda thing. all that being said I don't really know how to review something like this but I absolutely recommend you play it. it is more art than game so don't be butt hurt your not hyper-simulated every second you play.

neutral · AI labelView post →I think the Steam store page and trailer do a good job of explaining what this game is, and if those are intriguing for you, then you'll probably have a good time with Torii. The puzzles were not tough, but that's not the focus here. The experience is mostly atmospheric, contemplative, introspective. Addressing some other reviews, I had no problems with any controls or movement.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played Torii a few months ago by now - I think it was pretty soon after it came out. I found out about it from a Reddit post by the dev announcing the release of there game on steam, and instantly fell in love with the art style.This game wasn't what I expected at all. It's not just a walking some, which I would have been more then fine with, it's more of a puzzle/exploration game. You spend the short playtime of the game exploring dream like environments, and solving node based platforming…
