Anyone ever play The Suffering, the survival horror game from Surreal Software released in 2004? Well, it received pretty decent reviews, averaging 79% on review compilation site, Metacritic, and was lauded for its immersive horrifying atmosphere and scary moments.

If you didn't get a chance to play it first time around, or simply want to scare yourself witless once again, you'll be glad to hear that the developer has made the game available to download, in full, for free; no catch.

Here's a refresher for you:

The Suffering was, according to publisher Midway Games, the first game of its kind to probe into the very unsettling and seedy underbelly of a maximum-security penitentiary haunted by horrific and grotesque apparitions, represented by the unique and disturbing executions that previously befell them.

Gamers take on the role of Torque, an inmate who must face much more than his own inner demons and the harsh and gritty reality of death row, as he fights to escape the unleashing of the penitentiary's gruesome secrets in a challenge more terrifying than fighting death itself. The Suffering features ultra-mature content and three distinctly different endings depending upon how you choose to survive.
