Six Ways to Suffer is a psychological survival horror game where players are drawn into a dark spiral of life-or-death bets. You will face The Dealer - a mysterious and terrifying entity—in a deadly game of Russian Roulette, but pushed to a new level of danger and calculation.

Six Ways to Suffer: Story and Objectives

You wake up in a cold, dark, and void world. Here, the only thing that exists is The Dealer - a terrifying black figure standing behind the table, as if swallowing every last bit of light. He is the one who leads your fateful game, and you have no right to refuse. A cold metal pistol is placed on the table with a cold click—the tool for this life-or-death game to begin.

Your goal sounds simple but is full of danger: EARN ENOUGH $999 from the Banker to exchange for freedom. This is a game where every time you spin the gun, your life or his life is put on the line.

Dark Rules: Six Ways to Suffer

Loading & Betting Lives

  • Step 1: Load. You will have to manually load bullets into the pistol's revolver. Each bullet has a different special effect, which determines the outcome of the bet.
  • Step 2: Choose a Target. This is a life-or-death decision:
    • Aim at yourself: This is a risky choice, but the monetary reward will be significantly higher. Bet your life in exchange for quick freedom.
    • Aim at the Banker: Safer, but the amount of money received will be less. Will he let you win so easily?

The Power of Special Bullets

  • The game is not just about luck. You will collect many types of bullets with different effects (e.g., incendiary bullets, freezing bullets, blood-sucking bullets...).
  • The strategy is here: You can combine the effects of bullets together in the same magazine to create powerful attacks or defenses that change the game.

Game Controls

The control interface is designed to be intuitive so you can focus on the tension of the game:

  • Left Mouse: Interact with all items (lift the gun, reload, select targets...).
  • Right Mouse: Go back or cancel the action.
  • Mouse Wheel / Q & E Keys: Rotate the magazine during the loading phase—a simple action that decides your fate.

Six Ways to Suffer is more than just a puzzle game. It is a haunting psychological experience that tests your courage and tactical acumen. Another indie horror game you might also like is Bandwidth.
