Encore Brings 'The Suffering' To PC - Screens

by Rainier on May 5, 2004 @ 9:03 a.m. PDT

The Suffering combines a chilling storyline with third person action and adventure to create one of the most frightening and horrifying experiences available on the PC. Players assume the role of Torque, a man convicted of a horrible crime that he may or may not have committed. He's sentenced to life in Abbott State Penitentiary, a haunted place that hides a terrible secret, one that threatens both the prison guards and the hardened criminals that call this isolated hell home.

This game has enjoyed great success on console platforms, receiving high marks and critical acclaim from top gamer and consumer press such as PSE2, Maxim and Stuff, where the game garnered "Game of the Month" honors, and IGN.com, where it was praised as "…a breath of fresh death rattle."
Torque's tale unfolds in nine terrifying levels, where grisly mutated creatures, sadistic prisoners and guards lurk around every corner. A variety of deadly weapons are at his disposal to help him survive and escape from prison. In addition, Torque has a "rage meter" that, when filled, transforms him into a hideous and bloodthirsty creature that looks and feels right at home with the other dozen monstrosities stalking his every move. Torque will be able to interact with other inmate NPC's and enlist their help in escaping, or take them out if they get in his way.

The Suffering also features three distinct endings based on how the game is played. In revealing Torque's story, he could be a cold-blooded killer, a man wrongfully accused, or something far, far worse. The Suffering will be rated Mby the ESRB and carry an expected retail price of $29.99 when it ships in late May.
