However, the disturbed individuals at Surreal weren't satisfied with the franchise's creepy debut, so they set out to top the first game with The Suffering: Ties That Bind, a sequel that continues the story of the main character Torque in new and even-more-disturbing ways. Instead, the game offered foulmouthed prisoners, a generous helping of seriously unhappy ghosts, twisted abominations based on executions, buckets of gore, and an antihero who may very well have been a psychotic killer. Whereas the genre has been dominated by Japanese-developed games for the past few years, The Suffering offered a nicely unsettling experience, with nary a schoolgirl, talking cat, mutated animal, spooky mansion, or zombie in sight. The original third-person action game managed to add a new branch to the time-honored horror genre, which ultimately made it one of the most unique horror entries in quite some time. Midway and Seattle-based Surreal Software pulled off quite a coup with 2004's The Suffering.
