A Nightmarish New Survival Horror Adventure
Horror fans have a delightfully twisted new game to look forward to! Post Trauma, an upcoming release from indie developers Raw Fury and Red Soul Games, pays loving homage to iconic survival horror classics. Check out the new release trailer below:
This reality-warping nightmare fuel was recently showcased at the Guerrilla Collective 2024 event.
In Post Trauma, you step into the shoes of Roman, an ordinary middle-aged train conductor. At least, until a bizarre accident drags him into a distorted alternate dimension that defies all logic and laws of physics.
To escape this ever-shifting labyrinth of terror, Roman must navigate a gauntlet of ominous locations and solve mind-bending puzzles.
But far more unsettling obstacles await in the form of grotesque, otherworldly creatures hellbent on destroying him.
Even from its eerie trailers, it’s clear Post Trauma cribs copious inspiration from the biggest names in survival horror. Visually, the game’s unsettling art direction seamlessly blends elements from respected franchises:
- Claustrophobic fixed camera angles reminiscent of early Resident Evil
- Dilapidated towns and buildings warped into uncanny valleys like Silent Hill
- Twisted, deformed monster designs akin to The Evil Within’s grotesqueries
The team at Red Soul Games has been open about drawing from revered classics to forge a love letter to the genre’s proud roots. The title does seem to have a lot from retro horror gaming, but the Silent Hill vibes are especially strong.
Under Its Spell Already
Thanks to its clear reverence for horror gaming’s past glories, Post Trauma has already entranced many fans yearning for a savoury psychological thrill ride.
With the closure of The Evil Within’s Tango Gameworks studio, this audacious indie project may help fill that distinct survival horror niche.
Voice talents like Hyoie O’Grady and Togo Igawa lend extra unsettling gravitas to the premise.
As Roman, you’ll confront unimaginable abominations while navigating dizzying paradoxical terrors.
Does humanity’s last shred of sanity lie ahead, or only a yawning void of madness? Find out when Post Trauma launches its heart-pounding descent into depravity this Fall on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
