Torn Away is the harrowing story of a child’s journey home from a labor camp during World War II, and every aspect of the game combines to present a bold and affecting narrative.
Torn Away is a really impactful experience that is definitely worth playing. It’s not the most interesting gameplay, but the story alone makes it an amazing game that is definitely worth buying.

A very interesting narrative adventure in an interesting style about WW2. It makes you feel. It's definitely like a rollercoaster ride, going from short glimmers of hope to the lowest point. I recommend spending some time with the game.

Torn Away is a beautifully produced narrative adventure with various gameplay elements that hits you hard in the feels as you guide a ten-year-old child back home to her family across a continent ravaged by war.
Torn Away mixes beautiful hand-drawn aesthetics with the grim story of a little girl trying to survive a war and make it home. The game excels at establishing tone and getting the player to feel a sense of connection to the main character, Asya, through heartfelt character interactions and mini-games. While the brutal story beats hit hard at the beginning of the game, they lose some of their steam towards the end when you begin to expect them.
Torn Away is a narrative-focused game that explores some very difficult historical moments through the eyes of a child. Asya is a strong protagonist and the game works hard to give her interesting things to do from a gameplay perspective. Neither the platforming nor the puzzles sequences are hard to complete and most of the mechanics are familiar. Players need to be sure that they are ready to deal with some troubling and difficult moments before they engage with the game. After playing, it might be time to donate to a charity that helps children in danger. Torn Away is a good example of how video games can engage with complex themes and bring a level of engagement that other mediums cannot deliver.
This game is a strong anti-war statement.
While the gameplay isn’t going to leave much of an impact, the twists and turns of Asya’s dramatic journey through war-torn Europe is surprisingly well told, and is further heightened by its unique aesthetic and satisfying soundtrack.
There is hard to see and very emotional story about little girl, which gone through the War, parted with relatives, kidnapped and now – returning to Homeland. It’s simple story with humanistic values accentuate child’s experiences and her sense of War. There is World falling down around Asya, filling by crocked, bitter people in this story. It’s told us how little girl passes through big Tragedy and what remains in her ****’s not interactive move, but narrative game which contains various gameplay mechanics and mini games. There are accents on story and visual. Puzzles and challenges not so hard to solve, but good to support impression and emotions changes during timeline. Platforming sections frustrated sometimes. Some moments of story make me cry, other ones – return me to my childhood where skies are blue and grass is green. Game causes a lot of emotions, resonate with deep and forgotten parts of soul from childhood. It’s reminds us one simple but important thing: no one deserve to go through the War. You do deserve to play.

The atmosphere, music and game design are of a high standard, and I particularly appreciated the 2D to 3D transition. The tale of a young girl searching for a way home moved me to tears. This game touched me deeply. I don't usually enjoy thrillers in games or movies and often give up halfway, but this one compelled me to continue. I would like to see more games like this one. Thank you to the developers for creating such a great game, I am confident that all the awards they have received are well-deserved.

My great-aunt was just over 20 years old when the Germans took her to a labor camp. She was able to return home by walking across the country. It was an incredibly difficult path, full of dangers and hardships. She faced hunger, cold and fatigue, but none of these challenges compared to the fear she carried inside herself. Her soul was riddled with painful memories of the cruelty and loss she experienced in the camp. But despite all this, she did not tell anyone about her past. None of her loved ones and relatives knew what happened to her in those terrible **** great-aunt was a woman with a huge heart. She didn't have her own family, but she found family in other people's children and grandchildren. She gave them all her love, care and support. My dad still remembers her care and tenderness with warmth. Her life was full of sacrifice and dedication, and she did everything she could to make the lives of others better.I want to thank the creators of the game for Asya’s story. This game evokes a lot of emotions and feelings in me. It shows that war is not only death and destruction, but also fear, loss, loneliness. It makes you think about how war affects people, their future and happiness. The game "Torn away" conveys all these emotions and feelings through the inner world of a child, and this makes it special and heartfelt.When I write about this, my eyes immediately fill with tears. There is no future when children suffer and die. But the game also reminds us of the importance of love, community and humanity. She shows that even in the most difficult times, it is important to remain hopeful and support each other. The game "Torn away" is a real work of art that will touch everyone who immerses itself in it.I want to congratulate the creators on their debut and wish them success. They put a lot of work, passion and love into this game and they deserve the highest praise. I am grateful to them for creating such a beautiful piece of art that draws attention to the problems of war and childhood tragedy.
