PS: Use headphones - you'll get more out of this.
PPS: New York City doesn't care that my windows are shut tight. You still hear it all.

I've never played a more cinematic video game in my life. Playing it felt as if some film makers who've had enough of Hollywood decided to make their next project into a game.
The developers (Swordtales) evidently put a lot of effort into the storytelling, art and poetry, making the gameplay a first person experiencer with puzzles and mystery (and reminds me a lot of Tomb Raider, though in a different time period.)
Available for download on Steam, Toren is for the puzzle solver in you, with rich
graphics in what looks like master watercolor paintings wrapped in 3D. It isn't terribly difficult to play and follows a single storyline, but before you buy it, be sure your computer is at least semi-modern and can handle 3D graphics.
PS: If you're a hardcore gamer, you're going to hate this game.
PPS: Artists, cinema goers and casual players will love it.

Long ago, a dreadful war was fought between the Goddess and the Vile God. Because they were equally matched, they both created a vast number of special weapons imbued with their godly energy, each containing the life force of a fairy. Armed with these weapons, the deities continued their conflict until they finally sealed each other away into the great unknown. A long time has passed since this ancient conflict, and the weapons created by the Goddess and the Vile God have since been scattered across the world. These weapons—now known as “Furies”—are highly sought after by warriors who call themselves “Fencers”. It is said that whoever collects a Fury will be granted one wish. When a young man named Fang decides to rashly pull a Fury from a stone, he inadvertently becomes a Fencer himself, forever altering the course of his destiny.
