About the Game

Torn Familjen tells the story of Cathrin, a student of magic whose abundant generosity ends up getting her in big trouble...

She must set off on a journey that ends up taking her to all sorts of places, in order to find some way to atone for her mistake. Along the way, she will make new friends, and new enemies, too. Fortunately, there's no shortage of fighting skill amongst the group she ends up assembling.

((Please note that while flashing lights have been kept to a minimum, some mild screen flashes were simply impossible to remove. Players with photosensitive epilepsy or similar conditions should exercise caution, and are recommended to keep the game screen at its default small size, just to be safe.))
