For a time Surreal Software initially spoke about the possibility of expanding The Suffering franchise into a multi-game series, however Ties That Bind remained the final installment to the series. Despite mostly positive reception, the game saw underwhelming sales. Some critics felt the game would only appeal to fans of the first game, while others argued the more complex storyline and serious moral issues made it worthwhile on its own merits. Ties That Bind received favorable reviews, but was generally criticized as being too similar to the original game.

As with the original game, Ties That Bind also features three different endings, depending on the players' actions throughout the game. Players who have a saved game from The Suffering can choose one of three different openings, based upon the ending they received in the first game. Ties That Bind continues his story, as he flees the island and heads back to his home town of Baltimore, where Torque must once again battle the creatures from Carnate, now terrorizing Baltimore, while facing his past misdeeds and confronting his nemesis, a mysterious criminal kingpin known as Blackmore, who is connected to Torque's past and his family's deaths. In the original game, after arriving on death row in Abbot State Penitentiary on Carnate Island, off the coast of Maryland, an earthquake rocks the island, and the prison is attacked by strange supernatural creatures. The game continues the story of Torque, a man sentenced to death for murdering his ex-wife and two children. It is a sequel to the 2004 game The Suffering. The game was released in North America in September and in Europe in October. The Suffering: Ties That Bind is a 2005 first and third-person shooter psychological horror video game, developed by Surreal Software and published by Midway Games for PlayStation 2, Xbox and Microsoft Windows.

But it won't be easy, as the hideous creatures from the first game have now overrun the streets of Baltimore.First-person shooter, third-person shooter, survival horror

Now returning to his home town of Baltimore, Torque must confront the mysterious Blackmore, the man who may or may not have killed Torque's family. The player once again takes on the role of Torque, former death row inmate with a mysterious past. The story picks up right where the first game left off. Everything from the first The Suffering has been refined and turned up a notch for the sequel. The game includes a morality system which records the player's actions during gameplay and changes the story accordingly, and also alters the player's creature form.

The player is also able to transform into a hideous creature at key times in the game, which allows him to engage in intense melee combat. Players can switch between third person and first person depending on their preference, and will shoot a lot of hideous demonic manifestations of evil before the game is done. The Suffering: Ties That Bind follows in the footsteps of its predecessor by combining a disturbing horror atmosphere with action/shooter gameplay.
