“We made Toren for players who love old-school Japanese adventure games who, like us, grew up playing the classic games of the late 90s and early 2000s,said Vitor Severo Leaes, producer at Swordtales. “With the help of Versus Evil and the support of the Brazilian Cultural Incentive Law, Toren shows that even a small, dedicated team of indie developers in Brazil can touch the hearts and minds of gamers worldwide.”
