As 2024 draws to a close, it’s almost time to welcome a brand-new year and with it, dive into a chilling and immersive new reality.
In 2025, Post Trauma is set to make its debut on Xbox, delivering an array of nightmarish experiences that fans of the horror genre won’t want to miss.
The brainchild of Roberto Serrag and Red Soul Games, Post Trauma honors iconic horror games like Silent Hill and Resident Evil. Crafted using Unreal Engine 5, the game unfolds in eerie, familiar settings—think abandoned hospitals and desolate metro stations—but rendered in terrifyingly novel ways. Imagine dodging tentacles that slither from walls, avoiding monstrous shadows that lurk out of sight, and cautiously navigating structures teetering on the brink of collapse. Each corner holds its own dreadful surprise.
The story centers around Roman, voiced by Togo Igawa, a retired train conductor who regains consciousness amidst strange and unsettling surroundings. With the aid of motion capture technology, Roman’s expressions and movements appear remarkably lifelike, allowing players to connect deeply with his character. Watching Roman react to the absurd and alarming world encircling him grounds the game’s narrative, enabling players to truly grasp his mental and emotional journey.
Post Trauma excels in building suspense through its atmospheric setup rather than relying on cheap jump scares. The game’s soundtrack significantly enhances this tension; soft piano notes simmer as Roman navigates the haunting locales, escalating to intense, heart-racing rhythms during battles.
Exploration is key, and attention to detail is crucial as players unravel the universe’s secrets and its odd inhabitants. Every nook could hide a clue needed to solve complex puzzles, so having a notebook nearby might be wise.
The realm known as The Gloom is fraught with peril, and Roman must occasionally rely on weaponry during dire confrontations. He has various tools at his disposal, from a mighty sledgehammer and a trusty crowbar to firearms like pistols and shotguns, which can be stashed for safekeeping—or immediate use.
Embodying the essence of exceptional Survival Horror games, Post Trauma continuously reshapes itself, posing fresh mysteries just as solutions seem within reach. We eagerly anticipate gamers engaging with these enigmas when the game launches on Xbox Series X|S in 2025—make sure to wishlist it now!
Post Trauma, from Raw Fury, is a modern twist on survival horror gems. As players delve into Roman’s surreal world after a panic attack, they navigate a hauntingly strange landscape fraught with cryptic challenges. Players must decide whether to confront these horrors head-on with weapons or seek a less confrontational path.
Inspired by classic Survival Horror elements, the game combines fixed camera angles and breathtaking visuals to create something both uncanny and familiar. Expect the world to change when you least expect it, asking new questions as your fears take shape.
To navigate this treacherous world, players must solve puzzles and piece together clues hidden across differing environments. Success hinges on keen observation and strategic thought, perhaps making pen and paper quite handy.
Boasting a stellar voice cast, including Autumn Ivy and Hyoie O’Grady, alongside a mesmerizing musical score by Nicolas Gasparini (Myuu), Post Trauma pays tribute to beloved horror franchises while introducing fresh gameplay mechanics. The dedicated effort from a team passionate about delivering an unparalleled horror experience makes this game a must-have for enthusiasts everywhere.
