Torin's Passage was a family friendly graphic adventure game designed by Al Lowe. Torin is from a farming family on the planet Strata. An evil sorceress named Lycentia captures his family with a magic spell, which causes Torin to go on a quest to find her and rescue his family.

Localization

This game was fully localized to German + French, including audio and even graphics. Those releases appear to also contain English, French and German subtitles.

The UK English release of this game appears to also contain French and German subtitles on top of the English ones.

It appears that the Italian + Spanish versions only contain translated subtitles and feature English audio + English graphics. Those may also be multilingual (subtitles only).

Simultaneous speech and subtitles

Certain CD versions of Sierra SCI games had both speech and text resources. In ScummVM, it is possible to enjoy a combined mode, where both speech and text are shown at the same time.

Text can be toggled by selecting "Closed Captioning" from the in-game "Game" menu. Speech can be disabled by selecting "Audio Mixer" from the in-game "Game" menu and setting the speech volume to zero.
