The Suffering
Back in 2002, designer Richard Rouse III pitched the idea for a new game that would take the action of Devil May Cry, the atmosphere of Resident Evil, and the immersive world design of Half-Life, telling the story of a single character as they discover who they truly are deep down. With the additional inspiration of horror films like The Shining, Surreal Software ended up making an action heavy horror game with Midway Games, one that could be see as Silent Hill with all melancholy and despair replaced with rage, violence, and uncomfortably reality in its subject matter. The Suffering has a strange role in the history of horror games, because it takes from dozens of sources to create something that doesn’t really fit with everything that came before it.
