A fairy tale point and click adventure created by Al Lowe, the creator of the Leisure Suit Larry series. We play the role of a young man Torin, who sets out to rescue his parents kidnapped by the evil sorceress Lycentia. In order to do so, we travel through vast, underground lands full of extraordinary heroes and puzzles.

Torin's Passage is a classic point and click adventure. This means that we spend most of our time talking to the characters we meet, searching for objects hidden in particular locations and solving puzzles. Although the title is held by the well-known Leisure Suit Larry Al Lowe series, we are dealing with a product for the whole family. The obscene, at times vulgar sense of humour, known from his previous positions, was considerably softened.

The main character of the game is a young man named Torin. He spent his childhood on the farm with his foster parents, not knowing the truth about his origin. One day they were kidnapped. It turned out that this was done by the evil sorceress Lycentia and we have to travel through the underground locations to get to her headquarters and save her loved ones. In total, we visit five different lands in terms of style. During the adventure we use the help of a specific companion - a pink creature named Boogle. This creature resembles a cat and was once taken in by Torin. It has one unique feature - it can change into other objects, which often turns out to be useful in difficult moments.

During the game, the lower part of the screen is occupied by the inventory panel. Thanks to it, we can take a closer look at all the objects we own and also try to combine them. Due to the fact that the game is designed for both beginners and advanced adventurers, the creators decided to implement a handy hint system. Depending on the settings made at the beginning of the game, we can use it at certain intervals or completely resign from this type of help and try to overcome all the adversities. The puzzles available in the game are relatively diverse and include not only manipulation of objects, but also lever manipulation, moving objects, etc. The puzzles available in the game are relatively diverse and include not only manipulation of possessed objects, but also manipulation of levers, moving objects, etc. The puzzles are also available in the game.

The graphic design is a combination of time-lapse animated cartoon characters, painted backgrounds and a three-dimensional view of magnified objects. The whole is maintained in fairy tale, multicolored colors. In the case of the Polish language version, the original actors' voices were preserved and limited to the cinema location only.
