News: The Suffering

Midway have just announced a new horror game with a difference.

In this third person action/adventure game set in a maximum-security prison. The game has you changing into a powerful creature when you fill your rage meter. The game is also set to feature a lot of tense and scary moments where creatures attack out of the shadows and are out to frighten you. You also battle the ghosts in the prisons and personal demons from the past.

The main character is called Torque, a late 20s inmate who has been given the death sentance for a murder, which nobody is sure about if he commited. While he may portray a tough exterior he is not psychologically balanced and due to this Torque has horrible flashbacks into his past. He also suffers from blackouts where he becomes a violent creature hell-bent on destruction.

The official features can be found below:

  • 9 gritty and terrifying levels, transverse indoor and outdoor terrain and horror lurking in every dark corner.
  • Amazing character morphing effect � fill your rage meter and transform into a hideous and powerful creature.
  • Over 10 deadly weapons from the shiv to the flamethrower to help you survive this nightmare.
  • A dozen horrific monsters--each representing the means of execution that befell them--stalk your every move.
  • Powerful boss monsters will challenge your ability to stay alive.
  • Blood and gore galore, dripping, pooling and splattering every level of your frightening journey.
  • Interact with hardened criminals featuring advanced AI; garner their assistance or end their life on your path to freedom � it's your choice.
  • 3 distinct endings depending on how you play the game. Are you a cold-blooded killer, a man wrongfully accused or something else?
  • Intricate levels featuring moveable and destructible environments.
  • Over 20 hours of gameplay.
