It’s a science fantasy setting-not strictly fantasy, because it takes place in a future Earth built on technology that could conceivably exist (though certainly not with our current capabilities), but not strictly science fiction either, because the technology maintains a strong sense of weirdness and mystery akin to magic. Torment tells a new story in a radically different setting: the Ninth World, the setting of Monte Cook’s tabletop RPG Numenera. Yet his method awakens a ancient and deadly force called The Sorrow, which tries to kill the death-cheater and all his former bodies: including you. One man discovers a way to use these devices, known as the numenera, to jump between bodies and thus cheat death. Make thousands of essential choices, face the consequences, and meet death incarnated as you seek the answer to the ultimate question: What does one life matter?īefore the Ninth World was born, many great civilizations had risen and fallen, leaving behind remnants of their advanced technology.

Discover the Ninth World built on the bones of extinct, hyper-advanced civilizations and leave your own mark on it.
