The Suffering is an action horror game taking place in a prison. It tells the story of the silent protagonist Torque, who is on his way to death row.

It's one of the few games to give you the ability to change between first-person and third-person anytime you want.

Developed by Midway Games and Surreal Software for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Microsoft Windows, it was released in 2004 and while it has a cult following these days, it's definitely classified as one of the many underrated classics of the genre.

The game follows the silent main protagonist Torque as he is sent to death row in Abbott State Penitentiary on Carnate Island. He is guilty of murdering his ex-wife and their two children. He claims to have blacked out during the incident and can't remember anything.

Torque doesn't speak too much, but rather expresses himself with his actions. He is tough, fearless, and angry. He wants to understand what really happened to his family, or why he did it.

The Suffering features visceral, action-combat gameplay with fast-paced combat sequences. You have a wide variety of melee and ranged options to choose from. They all have their uses in certain situations as Torque battles against lots of different enemy types.

Speaking of enemies, creatures in the game were designed with the help of Stan Winston Studios. The Alien Queen, Predator, the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, The Terminator, you name it.

Because of this and the talented team at Midway, the game features well-designed, scary creatures. Some humanoid, some subhuman, and some are derived from animals.

They appear out of nowhere with a sudden earthquake and decimate the majority of the island.

The game lets you play in first-person or third-person. You can change this anytime you want with a single button. This was/is pretty unusual for most games.

It's not only for viewing too, you can play the whole game in both views, however you want.

Throughout the game, Torque is confronted with visions of his deceased family. Sometimes in memory form, sometimes mixed with reality. In some of these moments, Torque has to make moral choices. These choices affect the game's ending. If I'm not mistaken, it has 3 endings.

In the middle of the journey of his supposedly last day on this earth, Torque gets to meet some of the prison's former guests. They help him (or twist his mind even more?) and teach him how to survive in this hellhole.

In the first few hours of the game, Torque discovers his special ability. He can transform into a demonic creature and unleash total chaos. Sort of like an ultimate ability, this literally puts you in a rage mode and lets you decimate your enemies until it runs out.

Later in 2005, Surreal Software developed a sequel called Ties That Bind as a direct continuation of Torque's story. This time it takes place on the mainland and features a wide variety of locations.

The game is currently playable on PC through GOG. But please note that I personally had some issues with that release. The sound would cut off randomly and I couldn't really solve it (or didn't bother tbh).

Regardless, hoping for a multi-platform re-release someday.

Did some quick dress designs for a female Arthur Pendragon inspired ren faire outfit. It'll be a while before I can get around to making them (and I will be making both, i love them to much to pick between the two) because I have so many other projects on the chopping block first but I had so many ideas I needed to get them down on paper!

"Redemption will never end."

I guess you were right, Naï.

It never stops hurting. Tragedy seems to be climbing countless steps. First words, then bullets. But Vash is strong.

His spirit is getting mangled, his body ragged. Yet, his heart keeps beating.

Like a seed, life has to crack in order to germinate.

My favourite teleporting effect is when they just bleed into reality like this, like a water droplet that gathers up and falls and splashes away to reveal a character that definitely wasn’t in this dimension before. It’s so pretty every time. 10/10 better than yonic murder portals. 

OH THE INSTANT PAIN

“Sakura” clearly not remembering a single thing that happened and instantly being excited that they can hold hands - HAVING NO IDEA THAT THE LAST TIME LAVA LAMP TRIED TO HOLD HER HAND HE HESITATED AND DOOMED HER TO DEATH IN THE PROCESS. 

AND YOU CAN SEE IT HITS HIM SO HARD IN THE SIX YEAR OLD FEELS.

IT IS, IN FACT, THE ONLY THING HE CAN SEE.

A collage of my most recently finished projects! (besides the orange sweatshirt. That's still in progress but I'm not going to work on it for a while so I decided to include it anyways)

I also made a video of the process if anyone's interest in how I made these garments!
