Post Trauma is a very creepy Silent Hill inspired survival horror adventure with fixed camera angles, a 57 year old protagonist and monsters that can be friendly.

In Post Trauma you step into the shoes of Roman, a 57 year old man who awakens on an abandoned subway train that's filled with nightmarish visions and freaky monsters. As you try and make your way back to your family you'll search for useful items, solve puzzles, fight and hide from monsters. Some of the monsters may not be hostile though and they may even offer a helping hand now and again (though it's always good to have an axe handy just in case).

The Post Trauma demo build takes around 25 minutes to play through and follows Roman on the start of his journey. The visuals are fantastic and it has a nice mixture of puzzles, scares and action. The puzzles are cleverly designed and a particular highlight is the monster design, with a terrifying crab lady and some very freaky creatures lurking in the darkness. It clearly draws inspiration from Silent Hill, but it's got its own thing going on and you'll be dying for more by the end of the demo. Highly recommended.

Can't say I've ever seen a character model in the game that looked like that. Looks old and overweight, and the walking animation looks like he soiled his Depends.

 

[SZips]

What's the deal with that dumb overlay effect though? Looks like two very obvious and distracting vertical lines present throughout.

A bad VHS effect?

 

[El Pistolero]

He walks like a duck...

 

[ParaSeoul]

This dude crouch walking

 

[Barakov]

That crouch walking animation

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Looks great.
I almost jumped into the future when that hand shot through the glass skylight.

 

[Nickolaidas]

I finally have representation in gaming. I can play as myself - an old, fat, overweight fuck.

Now all I need is a mod to make him bald.

 

[Rickyiez]

The lack of character expression doesn't bring out any tension to the game . Maybe they will add this later but currently it looks really dull

 

[TonyK]

I hope it will be as good as Tormented Souls, the best Resident Evil clone I played. I wish this was the same for Silent Hill.

 

[Bartski]

way too early to show

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Watch the Post Trauma World Premiere Trailer from The Game Awards 2022.

 

[Killer8]

Silent Hill starring Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

 

[F31 Leopard]

Since the MC has a Dad Bod they should make him struggle physically since he's out of shape. It would add to the tension. He has to stop to catch his breath when running away from monsters, has hard time climbing up ledges, stairs etc. No med kits instead have junk food like chips, soda, beer, burgers and fries.

 

[Arachnid]

This stole the show for me during the Game Awards. I'm onboard. Please have a good story, atmosphere, and scares.

 

[Signal Rockets]

At least the survival horror genre is still booming.

 

[j0hnnix]

 

[Thief1987]

lol grandpa has bigger breasts than most of the women in western games

 

[Signal Rockets]

Yes. It does look like Silent Hill.

Any actual Silent Hill news is about as dry as a bag of prunes right now. So these similar horror games can tide over genre buffs meanwhile.

Red Soul Games dialled up the atmosphere with a new trailer for Post Trauma, the studio's Silent Hill-inspired psychological horror adventure. It's coming to PC and consoles on October 29.

[RagnarokIV]

What's the main character? An oompa loompa with Mozart wig? Twat.

 

[Skifi28]

Can you hit her weakpoint for maximum damage?

 

[balls of snow]

Very hype for this. Looks like they knock it out of the park after the small delay.

 

[Hunter 99]

Thanks ibiza, I was wondering when this was going to release.day 1 for me.

 

[Hohenheim]

Looks very cool!

 

[Bartski]

demo is out on Steam. Well...

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

[Arachnid]

Glad to see this chugging along. Please be good.

Also, that creature design is phenomenal.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

[Arachnid]

This comes out today.

 

[RedC]

First time I'm seeing this and it's right up my alley.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Oh yeah, this is the game where the dude looks like he has a shitty diaper.

 

[Deerock71]

I came in to ridicule it (because I haven't finished my coffee yet), but it actually looks pretty cool. Crabs are bad.

 

[RedC]

Oh yeah, this is the game where the dude looks like he has a shitty diaper.

One of the YouTube comments referred to the game as Senior Hill: I've Fallen in Despair and I Can't Get Up

 

[struggler_guts]

The mc is like "we have giermo del toro at home"

Game actually seems interesting though I hope it's good!

 

[poodaddy]

Game looks cool, but it's wild they didn't take another go at that character model all these years later. It's just....off.

 

[drotahorror]

I'd be down for this and was initially but it seems to lean way more on puzzles. I can't deal with crazy obtuse puzzles in gaming anymore.

Great price though, I'll give'em that.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Sorry Sack Horror is a cool genre. Holstin looks amazing in that you play a depressed Polish sorry sack in the 80s. I hope you can equip a cig and chain smoke while complaining about everything with X.

 

[Caffeine]

terrible day to drop this lol still got it looks dope.

 

[luca_29_bg]

Someone knows how to remove the black bars ?

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

I really love survival horror games in that vein but after having played for about an hour, I asked for a refund. It just feels unpolished and very amateur-ish.

Game looks good though.

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

Oh yeah, this is the game where the dude looks like he has a shitty diaper.

Scatalogical Horror

 

[Hunter 99]

Downloaded yesterday and will give it a go tonight. Bargain price and I want something to play before clair obscure tomorrow.

 

[Arachnid]

This game coming out the same time as the Oblivion Remaster and Clair Obscur is wild. Hope this juggernaut doesn't kneecap their sales too hard.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Don't let this crab lady fool you, they can all have crabs.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

That crouch walking animation

That's like half the people on the subway these days. He's trying to fit in. Been on one lately?

 

[Esppiral]

Why haven't I've heard about this game? It looks super interesting!
