  Halls of Torment is in Early Access NOW!

  Hello Adventurers! We’re proud to announce that Halls of Torment is now available on Steam Early Access! Choose one of (currently!) seven unlockable characters and descend into the dark depths where demonic horrors lurk. Slay hordes of monsters, unlock new abilities, and find new equipment that will help you overcome the challenges further down below. Important Information for PRELUDE Players If you’ve played the PRELUDE version of Halls of Torment and want your progress to carry over to the full version of the game there are a few prerequisites: On the machine you want to continue with your PRELUDE progress, the PRELUDE save file must be locally available. Normally this should be the case, if you haven’t switched to another device or cleared your system for some reason. If you are on a new machine since playing the PRELUDE, you can ensure that your progress is copied by installing the PRELUDE version and starting it once. In case you don’t see your progress reflected in the Early Access version, try following these simple steps: Start the game (Early Access version) Open the settings menu Click on the button “Import PRELUDE Savegame” in the lower left corner Confirm the dialog with “Yes” The game should restart automatically with your prelude progress restored in the full game. What’s Next? While monitoring the game and being on the lookout for any reported issues, we’ll be preparing new content for future updates. We still have plenty of interesting things we want to put into the Halls, and we can’t wait to share them with you. But more details on that will follow soon. Until then, enjoy! 😈
