SUFFER Press Release

October 17th, 2018 - Akron, OH - Anarchy Softworks LLC is releasing its first game, SUFFER, for Windows Desktop PCs on December 11th, 2018 via Steam! Set in an abstract dystopia ruled by demons, in SUFFER players become The Spirit of Anarchy to take on the corporate police state with nothing but a ninja sword and a hailstorm of bullets! Boasting “oldschool” PC game difficulty, Suffer is a brutal homage to classic FPS games with a horror-punk twist.

The air is thick with toxic smog, acrid smoke, and bomb shrapnel. State Sentinels and Observers bare down on you, the organic eyes twitching rhythmically to mechanical grinds and clicks as they screech orders through electronic speakers. Unloading every last one of your bullets into these freaks is satisfying, but the Riot Police ahead shoot first and ask questions later - unfortunately for them, a blade through the chest will be the only answer they get.

“My biggest goal with SUFFER was to tell the story of this world purely through the atmosphere and gameplay. There is very little in the way of cutscenes, my focus was to craft a challenging experience where the player would learn by exploring the environment and fighting off enemies. The details are left to the imagination of the player, sort of like the classic games I grew up playing. When the story takes a backseat to engaging gameplay, the mind wanders playfully.”

SUFFER is a game for hardcore gamers in need of a challenge. Injecting fast paced FPS action with ninja-sword-fighting-acrobatics, this throwback to the golden days of PC shooters offers fun, addicting gameplay with a dystopian nightmare theme and punk attitude.

• Intense Single Player Campaign
• 75 Handcrafted Levels - Abstract Design Anarchy
• Brutal difficulty, for those seeking a challenge
• Colorful Sprite Graphics Inspired By 90's Pixelated Glory
• Original Punk/Metal Soundtrack

If you are ready to go head-to-head with the demon police state, check out SUFFER on Steam, available December 11th, 2018 for $9.99 but 10% off until December 17th, 2018!

Of Box Art and Steam Releases

Hey friends! Exciting (and super busy) times for me lately. SUFFER is headed to Steam! Special thanks to my dude Brian H who made the original box artwork - he did an amazing job! The game's store page has been submitted for approval and i couldn't be more stoked! i've been hard at work filling out boring forms and doing marketing stuff. This one-man indie dev thing is a lot of work sometimes...

There is a new trailer too! i made this especially for the Steam store page, but you can check it out here if for whatever reason you just can't wait:



Anyways, thanks for reading. Take care of yourselves out there, this place can be brutal.

Love and respect,
anarchy

SUFFER Original Game Soundtrack OUT NOW!

Hey Friends! i've just finished writing, recording, mixing and mastering the entire SUFFER soundtrack! This has been a serious amount of effort, but i couldn't be happier with the results. The music needed to be ridiculous horror punk/ska and fucking death metal. i won't sit here and write about it anymore, so here is the link for the album, totally free on bandcamp!

 hope you like it!

SUFFER Official Website!

Short post today - i have updated the official SUFFER page on AnarchySoftworks.com. It looks pretty legit, if i do say so myself:

http://anarchysoftworks.com/suffer.html

It's kind of a big page, it took me awhile to compress all of the gifs and high quality screenshots. Mobile isn't where i want it yet... But being a one man team means i have to live with not everything being perfect. Thanks for the interest in my games!

SUFFER Official Game Trailer

Hey friends!

The trailer for SUFFER is out! i won't waste much time writing about it, i think the game basically speaks for itself:




As you can see, it's extremely fast paced and brutal! SUFFER is meant to be incredibly challenging, just like the games it was inspired by. The demo is coming out next week, so dust off your gaming keyboard/mouse and warm up your old CRT because it's going to take everything you've got to claim victory over this one.

The game will go live here: https://anarchysoftworks.itch.io/suffer-demo on July 30th, 2018 - one week from today. i hope you enjoy it!

SUFFER [demo] coming soon!

Hey internet!

Development on SUFFER has been extremely productive. i am nearing the end of my final QA phase for a public demo release that should be out by the end of this month! i'm gathering feedback from a few beta testers (aka my friends and family) for the next week while i ready a final production build. Being a solo dev is brutal and rewarding, i love it.

The demo is 25 levels and completely *FREE* to play! No registration or online accounts required. i do ask that you send any feedback/criticism/angry rants my way, but even that is totally optional!

Here are some teaser screens - i hope you dig the style:

SUFFER has been in development for over 3 years now and i am honestly terrified of going live with it. i am proud of the work i have into it though and i just know there are a few of you out there who will appreciate the brutal difficulty and retro feel. It's a game that i enjoy playing, it reminds me of the many hours i spent in front of an old CRT monitor playing DOOM when i was a kid.

Enough rambling, i have so much to do still! Stay tuned for more updates!

Thank you for reading,

anarchy
