Torin's Passage was designed to be suitable for children, which surprised many of the fans of its designer, who was known for making rather 'adult' games. As Torin travels downward, scenes of both his and Lycentia's pasts reveal their true relation as well as Torin learning about his true identity and the true cause for his journey. He is aided by a purple dog-like creature called Boogle, who is able to change himself into a variety of shapes. These phenocrysts transfer life-giving sunlight-and people-to the lower worlds with erresdy powder. Torin travels to the 'lands below' to worlds beneath the surface of the nested planet, through colossal crystal columns called phenocrysts. An evil sorceress named Lycentia (voiced by Christine McMerdo Wallis) captures his family with a magic spell and he embarks on a quest to find her and free his parents. The protagonist of the game is Torin, the son of a farming family on the planet of Strata. The hint system can also be turned off entirely. The specific time interval can be set as an in-game option. A hint system is included as an in-game feature, and the player can ask for hints after certain time intervals, at the cost of game points. The game has a variety of puzzles, from puzzles involving item collection to sliding puzzles. Any item can be viewed as a 3-D model by using the item viewer. The items he can morph into replace the items in Torin's inventory. The player can switch to Torin's pet Boogle as well, although he is mainly used to morph into various items. There is also an inventory system used to access the items Torin collects during the course of the game. Placing the cursor over certain 'hot spots' in the environment allows him to move around, examine things and pick up items. The player interacts with Torin and the in-game environments using a point-and-click interface.
