The prison of Abbott State Penitentiary in the game was partially inspired by Alcatraz Alcatraz was originally a military prison and the prison in the game was built from the remains of a WW2 army base. The Suffering captures the disturbing and terrifying nature of the horror genre in a third-person action/adventure game set in the mature and gritty world. The creatures and characters in The Suffering were designed by movie special effects master Stan Winston (designer of the Terminator exoskeleton, the Predator, the Alien Queen and the Jurassic Park dinos). A GameCube version was already planned, but was cancelled because previous Midway titles sold poorly on the platform.
