In the twisted world of Agony, there are no heroes, only monsters. Among them, Ezekiel stands apart. Known only as The Tormentor, he is the original executioner, the embodiment of raw power, and the silent force behind the game’s darkest acts of violence. There is no joy in his work. No flair. No theatrics. Just pain, control, and absolute dominance.
Where other killers might gloat, Ezekiel does not speak. His silence is more terrifying than words. His strength is not just physical, it is primal.
Ezekiel Concept, 2023
A Mind in Decay
Beneath the surface of this unstoppable killer is a man unraveling. Ezekiel is not whole. His mind is deteriorating, gnawed away by a mysterious mental illness that clouds his memory and thoughts. Every act of violence is both a release and a cry for clarity. He is desperate to stay in control, not just of others but of himself.
To fight the madness, he relies on a potent, experimental drug supplied through a shadowy criminal network operating within the prison. This drug keeps his thoughts sharp and his instincts focused, but it comes at a price. The more he takes, the deeper the hole he digs for himself. Ezekiel is constantly fighting a war inside his head, even as he dominates everyone around him.
This inner conflict is what makes Ezekiel more than just a killer. He is a man torn between two nightmares, the one he creates and the one he lives in.
Manhunt and the Reversal of Power
In the rare moments when prisoners are given a chance to fight back, when the hunted become the hunters, Ezekiel becomes even more terrifying. He doesn’t hide. He doesn’t panic. He fights with his bare hands, relying on instinct and sheer force to crush the uprising.
While others might retreat or outthink their pursuers, Ezekiel only charges forward. Every encounter is personal. Every act of retaliation is answered with something worse. For him, fear is not a weakness, it’s a tool he wields without speaking a word.
The Face of Tormentor
Ezekiel is more than a playable character. He is the face of Tormentor. The tone of the game is built around his presence, brutality, silence, and struggle. Where Bloody Mary is theatrical and cruel, Ezekiel is efficient and inevitable. Where she talks, he kills. Where she toys, he breaks.
But make no mistake, Ezekiel is not a mindless beast. He is a man who remembers just enough of who he used to be to know that he has become something else entirely. And deep down, buried beneath the madness, he knows there’s no going back.

March was a wild ride, but this is only the beginning. Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far. Let’s keep the momentum going!
https://youtu.be/dZDL2tBCKoE In Tormentor, brutality is an art, and no two artists paint their horrors the same way. Ezekiel "The Tormentor" and Bloody Mary may share a thirst for pain, but their methods, styles, and personalities set them worlds apart.
With the legendary Shawnee Smith bringing Bloody Mary to life, she is more than just another executioner, she is a spectacle, a sadistic performer who thrives in the chaos of carnage.
The Art of Torture – Strength vs. Precision
Every executioner has their preferred tools, and for Ezekiel, brute force reigns supreme. He revels in the raw, animalistic act of destruction, hammers, fists, teeth, and sheer overwhelming power. His kills are merciless, silent, and beastlike.
Mary, however, turns pain into a performance, accustomed to livestreams and a public view, she makes sure the crowd is entertained. Precise, elegant, and obsessed with the sight of blood. Her weapons of choice? Scalpels, sickles, and anything that slices deep. She wants her victims to bleed, suffer, and leave a trail behind them, knowing full well they have no escape.
Manhunt – When the Prey Strikes Back
When the tables turn and prisoners are given a chance to fight back, Tormentor and Mary handle the hunt differently.
Ezekiel fights like a beast, using only his hands, teeth, and a knife for executions. He doesn’t need anything else, his sheer strength is his deadliest weapon.
Mary is fast, agile, and relentless. Wielding razor-sharp sickles, she can cut down prisoners in an instant. Any victim who tries to run will leave a bloody trail, leading her straight to their hiding place. Ezekiel breaks you, but Mary plays with you, a cat toying with its prey before the final kill.
Shawnee Smith is Mary
Shawnee Smith, known for her unforgettable role as Amanda Young in SAW, stepping into this blood-soaked role, Mary becomes more than just a character, she’s an experience. Her delivery, mannerisms, and sadism will turn Mary into a nightmare you’ll never forget.

The Nightmare Begins
With both Ezekiel and Mary in play, Tormentor delivers two distinct styles of horror, one built on raw strength and brutality, the other on precision, speed, and the art of suffering.

After our recent announcement, many of you reached out to us with ideas on how to help us in our fight. Your support makes us even more motivated to stand strong against censorship and make Tormentor even more uncompromising.
We’ve analyzed your feedback, and it sparked an exciting idea. Now, we want to check if this idea is just as exciting for you as it is for us.
To do that, we’d love to hear your thoughts directly. We’re setting up 30-minute calls with some of you to discuss it and gather your feedback. If you’d like to join, just fill out this questionnaire, and we’ll randomly select participants to chat with us.
As a thank-you, those selected will get a free key to Tormentor and a sneak peek at what we’re planning (please note that just filling in the questionnaire won't automatically make you eligible for the key. Those will be given only to those randomly selected for the interview).
Your support keeps us pushing forward, and we can’t wait to hear what you think.
Good luck, Madmind Studio
News from the battle front
Hi,
We finally come to you with news after a long period of silence!
Soon we will present you many new materials from the game, and we will also provide you with a playable prologue, which we hope will allow you to feel the brutal and cruelty (and LACK OF CENSORY) world of Tormentor, which will give you a foretaste of what you can expect from the full version of the game.
Unfortunately, we regret to inform you that the game will not be released this year. When creating such a controversial title, we encounter many difficulties that we have to deal with.
The premiere of our other title - Paranoid, in December 2023 was a huge blow to us and got us into very big financial difficulties, which had a significant impact on the production of Tormentor.
In order to survive and be able to finish the game in the form we wanted, we had to significantly reduce our team, which means that we did not have enough people to finish the game on time. Some of our regular contractors refused to work on the game, so we are creating key models and animations ourselves, with our small team.
For over half a year, we talked to many different publishers, looking for help in financing the game. Unfortunately, the conversations always ended the same - "We see the potential of the project, but unfortunately our company cannot be associated with this type of content." Additionally, one of our key investors suddenly withdrew from financing the game, which meant that we were unable to purchase previously recorded materials for the full version of the game, which effectively blocked us from working on the project.
Thanks to recent, successful premieres of smaller productions, we have finally returned to the production of Tormentor with full commitment and determination!
And once again - thank you for your support. Over 100,000 of you are waiting for Tormentor. We are perfectly aware that you expect an uncompromising and thoroughly messed-up production, and that's what we want to provide you.
And now, back to work.
Tormentor will rise, no matter what stands in our way.
Thanks for being with us.
Take care, Madmind
