Hand-painted indie title delayed for 7 years is launching this July and looks like the anti-AI dream game

Tormentum II now has a release date of July 23, 2026, after being first announced in 2018 and remaining quiet for years.

The dark indie adventure features more than 150 hand-painted locations and follows a developer trapped in a surreal, unsettling world.

The creators are framing it as an artist-driven, anti-AI project at a time when generative AI in game art is heavily debated.

Its long delay and painstaking visual style underscore a human-made approach that stands in contrast to faster AI-assisted production.
