Supplice is an action-packed, gorn-loaded First-Person Shooter developed by the indie studio, Mekworx, paying homage to old-school, 90s FPS.Beginning as a Doom megawad, way back in 2009, the game was later retooled into a retraux-style game that instead pays homage to the original Doom. It still uses a version of the ZDoom/GZDoom engine, originally created as a modern 3D-accelerated source port for Doom. Influences have also been drawn from Bungie's Marathon, in that mission objectives and the overall story are relayed to the player through text communications on computer terminals found throughout the game world.In 2207, the alien planet Metheusalah has been terraformed by a MegaCorp called the Phoebus Technology Conglomeration (PTC), with a mining outpost installed on Metheusalah for harvesting plasma energy from the sun as the world's main source of energy. But when the Flux Gate technology, developed by PTC on the same outpost for re-inventing space travel, accidentally opens a portal to another dimension, monsters began pouring in en-masse.Zorah Null (with a likeness is loosely based on actress Shaina West), an engineer on Metheusalah, was stranded behind the monster-infested outpost during the evacuation, and needs to fight her way out and figure how to shut down the portal. Luckily, there's an armory just nearby.An Early Access was available in 2023, with an Expansion Pack expected later on.

comment
Blatant Item Placement: While the outpost has been completely besieged without any survivors, the game also tends to be quite generous with ammo and supplies Zorah can help herself to. The final area takes this to the extreme where Zorah is fighting a massive wave of monsters - in a large room where every wall has an alcove containing ammunition.

comment
Captain Ersatz: Owing to the game's origin as a Doom megawad, many of it's enemies should look somewhat... familiar to Doom fans. There are gun-wielding zombie ex-soldiers who attacks the hero on sight, not unlike the low-level zombified Doom marines. Zorah also encounter humanoid creatures looking suspiciously similar to the Imps. The Ophanions, the floating hearts with a metallic ring around them, are a stand-in for the Cacodemon. Hiveteeth, the Langoliers looking floating mouths are very similar to Lost Souls.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot
 Supplice (Video Game) / int_40496097
comment
AI Is A Crap Shoot: Charon, your A.I. Mission Control, is only in charge of fighting the invasion because the actual security A.I. responsible for protecting the colony has been destroyed. As they were never programmed for anything more complex than calculating weather patterns and plant growth, they lack the ability for sophisticated or creative thinking required for such a situation. At one point they get a large portion of the remaining survivors killed because they are unable to distinguish between human survivors and hostile converted former humans, opening the bunker doors to a horde of monsters.

Cave Behind the Falls: The mining outpost has an indoor waterfall that turns out to be quite shallow if Zorah wades through it. Walk through the cascading water and it turns out there's a secret area behind containing extra ammo.

Body Armor as Hit Points: Zorah can collect armor, which functions like the ones from Doom - absorbs part of the damage inflicted on her, with it's own meter displayed near her health's.

Gender-Inclusive Writing: The text logs emphasize that Charon is gender-neutral due to being an A.I. without a specific gendered personality; at one point a programmer corrects an engineer who misgenders the A.I. as "him".

Apocalyptic Log: Every so often, Zorah can come across video logs of unfortunate survivors who didn't really escape the monsters. Notably, there's one from a scared worker forced to kill a mutated colleague before (unsuccessfully) trying to hide from the monsters.

We ARE Struggling Together
 Supplice (Video Game) / int_cbdd9a55
comment
We ARE Struggling Together: Before the invasion, tensions in Methuselah were high between the corporate administration and a local worker's union group. The two groups continue to be at odds even during the invasion, with some members even taking the opportunity to bump off members of the opposing group with some not-so-friendly fire, further escalating tensions between them. Things were even worse in Bellerophon, where a full scale riot among the workers had erupted when the alien invasion hit.

Ludicrous Gibs: Just like Doom, enemies easily falls apart into chunks of red giblets on the slightest provocation, notably after getting hit from close range by the triple-barreled shotgun, caught by grenade explosions, or chewed by by the drill. Then there's the final area where Zorah fights over a hundred enemies emerging from a portal, one wave at a time, painting the floor red.

Expy: Charon seems to be 50% Durandal and 50% Wheatley; they're a support A.I. designed for mundane tasks who ends up recruiting you as their physical proxy for fighting an alien invasion, and also proves to be dangerous to the human survivors as well as the alien invaders. Unlike Durandal and more like Wheatley, the human casualties they cause are more due to incompetence rather than megalomania or sacrificing the few for the good of the many.

This Is a Drill: Zorah's first weapon is a rock drill, taken from the abandoned mining outpost. Its ammo regenerates automatically and when upgraded it chews through hordes of low-level enemies turning them into plenty of red stuff - it even has a Pile Bunker that extends the drill for extra damage. It's secondary fire is also a concussive blast that can kill groups of weak enemies in one shot and deal decent damage to stronger ones.
