Interactive Entertainment.Īs stated in GOG’s post about the release: “All but impossible to find in recent years, the elusive psychological horror games return as gory as you remember them, DRM-free and fully compatible with modern operating systems”ĭescribing the game and its sequel, the post goes on to say, “ The Suffering puts you in the shoes of death row convict Torque as he fights monstrous enemies to escapes his hellish prison and find the truth behind the heinous crime that put him there…. The games were originally developed by the now-defunct Surreal Software and published by the also now-defunct Midway Games (among others for different versions) the rights now belong to Warner Bros. Successfully completing the game provides players with the chance to replay the entire plot with good, neutral, or evil alignment, and the game alters the storyline to reflect the choice.After years of obscurity on the PC, The Suffering (2004) and its sequel The Suffering: Ties That Bind (2005) are finally available courtesy of GOG.com, and without any restrictive digital rights management nonsense to boot. Doing good deeds and protecting others increases Torque's morality, while killing others and refusing to save innocent people drops Torque's morality. Torque's morality throughout the game also influences Torque's ability to transform into a super-powered monster and to utilize special attacks.
Players may now only carry two weapons at a time, adding a new level of strategy. While still a classic third-person shooter, "The Suffering: Ties That Bind" has several key differences from the original.
Torque must now escape from his captors and continue the investigation into the deaths of his family, all while fighting the same evil forces unleashed from Carnate Island. This time, a mysterious organization kidnaps Torque to study his connection to the monsters and evil spirits that first appeared when he was accused of killing his family and sentenced to prison. Released for the PC, the Xbox, and the PlayStation 2, "The Suffering: Ties That Bind" is the sequel to "The Suffering," continuing the story of Torque and his escape from the Carnate Island prison.
