About the Game

„Don't play the game. Burn it. Destroy it. When you see him, it’s already too late."

-Farewell note, author unknown

The year is 1989. Darkness has descended upon Sleepy Woods as a powerful and terrifying storm ravages the county. As lightning strikes, an ominous envelope appears at your front door: The gateway to your nightmares.

Experience a bone-chilling blend of nostalgia and fear as you delve into the dark world of SUFFER THE NIGHT. Can you escape the pale man's grasp, or will you fall victim to the horrors within?

  • Horror Beyond Comprehension: Boot up the text-based dungeon crawler “game within a game” filled with grisly scenarios and vivid descriptions of the atrocities wherein. flex your old-school gaming muscles to progress within the stories, both inside the Eldrixon and out.

  • Don’t Let Him In: While playing through the floppy disk game, the mysterious figure who delivered it isn’t shy about making his presence known. Be sure to address any interruptions he causes or suffer the consequences.

  • A Chilling Combination: Suffer the Night expertly weaves two genres of horror games into one, balancing the chilling anxiety of a text-based adventure with the dread and suspense of a first-person survival horror.

  • The Source Of The Nightmare: Dive deeper into the game than you ever thought possible, and face nightmarish creatures head-on as you descend into the depths of Mr Tops' twisted world.
