"Experience the mysterious, timeless world of Toren, the first adventure game from Brazilian indie developer Swordtales. You are Moonchild, destined to climb the tower (known as Toren) on a hauntingly solitary journey to find your purpose. You must solve puzzles and face monsters as you struggle to climb to the top of this beautiful, yet treacherous environment, driven by the will to find your freedom."

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 2 GHz dual core processor, 2 GB RAM and Intel HD3000, Nvidia GeForce GT8600 or equivalent. At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 3GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Toren launched on 11 May 2015, within three weeks of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Kerbal Space Program, Splatoon and Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 2 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Kerbal Space Program, Splatoon, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood.
