S.U.F.F.E.R.

is an extraction-roguelite where you use gadgets and destruction to loot your way through procedural environments

fast paced - first person - survival horror - extraction roguelite - colorful stylized horror(ish) aesthetic

• whats it even about?

playing a game(run/raid/whatever) of suffer means using the destruction, outplaying locals, getting machinery up and running all while trying to complete tasks, grab loot and get out in the end

there is a big focus on mastering core systems, resource management and strategic item use

• youre not that guy

youre a RAT, a zombie-like scavenger scouring the BUNKS to grab whats left and keep going

being agile and crafty but not very strong means you need to use items and the environment to your advantage so loot, craft, play smart but most importantly be faster

RAT: more of a nickname for the player faction/group
BUNKS: big underground facility the game takes place in

• big bad(s)

BIG BADs are a sort of special "primary" enemy(usually limited to one per area)

they cannot be killed but you can slow, hurt and loose them in the environment to get done whatever youre down here for

each ZONE can spawn a select few with all of them having unique abilities and requiring different countermeasures

• machinery

all kinds of machines can be found throughout the BUNKS and are a common objective

they come in many shapes and sizes all requiring different methods to be fixed like installing replacement parts or fueling it with enemy remains

they can do all kinds of things like activate traps, power exfils, open closed off areas and much more

• procedural environments

SUFFER generates maps on the fly based on the ZONE youre currently in

each ZONE comes with its own layouts, aesthetic, structures, loot and much more

no two games are the same having you to constantly adapt to what the game throws at you

• destruction

the destructible environment allows for creative and smart plays, emergent gameplay and adds a level of unpredictability

many things can affect the environment so whether you bring a shotgun or some local had a bad day a hole is a hole
