Trailer: Madness, terror, and a cursed PC game, check out Suffer the Night

If you’re looking for a unique horror experience, Suffer the Night sounds like it might be it. It mixes text-adventure with first-person terror.

Slightly alarmed here

In Suffer the Night, players take on the role of Stacey Liden, a painter who specializes in horror illustrations in her isolated woods-bound cabin. After receiving an envelope containing a mysterious floppy disk, Stacy boots it up on her old Eldrixon personal computer and begins playing. As she progresses through the terror of the text-based adventure, she’s visited by a mysterious and threatening stranger, urging her to finish the game. The strange and horrifying things within the game begin leaking into the real world…will Stacey survive, or will she succumb to the terrors around her? Only one thing is for certain: don’t let him get in.
