I seem to recall that one of the "evil bastards" implied that the protagonist was responsible for all the shit going on.

The game blocks normal printscreen key usage, so taking screenshots of any kind requires 3rd party software which I personally don't have or know of any that don't add ads to the screenshots such as Fraps.

Comments (3)

Quoted from Wikipedia:
... graphical glitches in the first game, such as models not appearing and missing walls. [...] The solution was to ensure both games were fully uninstalled, then go through the Windows registry and manually delete anything related to Surreal Software, The Suffering, or the Riot Engine.
