Planescape: Torment - The Unofficial Audio Series

By: RevocerGM
  • Summary

  • Re-discover the amazing story of the 1999 cult classic - Planescape: Torment.


    A fully voiced re-telling of the game's story with a modern take and narrative drive.


    I hope to follow on from Rhyss Hess' example in lovingly creating an homage to this wonderful story, that aims to allow new and existing fans to enjoy the narrative in an episodical, fully voiced, unofficial audio series. I will be mostly using Dan Simpson's in-depth guide to cover as much content as possible in one single playthrough.


    This series began as a way to challenge and stretch my voice over and audio editing capabilities; and since, has become a vast passion project where I re-experience one of my all-time favourite stories, bringing renewed life to the beautifully written characters.

    Planescape: Torment - Enhanced Edition


    Beamdog brings modern features to yet another classic isometric RPG in Planescape: Torment Enhanced Edition. Uncover secrets of past lives in this story-rich, tactical roleplaying game set in Sigil, a dark fantasy city at the heart of the Dungeons & Dragons multiverse. Explore the planes, survive combat alongside a party of unique companions, and solve puzzles unlike any ever seen in the genre. The original Planescape: Torment was released in 1999 to widespread critical acclaim. It won RPG of the Year from multiple outlets for its unconventional story, characters, and amazing soundtrack. Since then, millions of Planescape: Torment fans have enjoyed exploring the strange and dangerous city of Sigil and surrounding planes through the Nameless One's eyes.


    Beamdog has partnered with Chris Avellone, Lead Designer on the original Planescape: Torment, to curate Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition and update it with modern features to share with a new generation of role playing fans. "Beamdog has worked hard to ensure the feel and tone of the Enhanced Edition matches the original game. At the same time, they've also taken advantage of current generation technology to allow for improvements to the interface and feel - it's the best way to play Planescape: Torment, hands-down."


    Discover an incredibly rich story and a unique setting unlike anything else in fantasy. Defeat strange and alien creatures, engage in rich dialogue, and explore the dark and dangerous Planescape setting in this 50+ hour RPG classic.

    "You wake up on a slab, covered with dried blood and viscera. Next to you is a device that looks like some kind of sewing machine… arms with hooks, tubes and metallic thread hang from it. Around you is a system of rails running throughout the room. It looks like these slabs can be moved around on these rails. You catch movement from the corner of your eye. A floating skull. No, you realize as it speaks: a floating, talking, skull."

A Classic Brought to Life

Good voice acting, following the story in a detailed manner, really brings this classic game to life. A fantastically rich dramatisation of the game in audio form. Looking forward to future episodes!

The greatest videogame ever read

Wonderfully produced, great audio quality and skilled narration.
I'm so pleased that this incredible work, which touches on philosophy and esotericism throughout a compelling narrative, has touched someone else enough to put this much love and care into recreating it.
It's unlikely nearly 30 years later, even with console ports and GOG etc. that new gamers will gravitate to Planescape Torment. Work like this will help keep it alive for newer and older generations alike. Very pleased I found this!
