"Post Trauma is a return to the roots of the survival horror genre, immersing the player in a dark, puzzling world that captivates from the very first second. The game knows how to utilize the strengths of classic survival horror titles and package them in a modern, yet nostalgic experience. The atmosphere is intense and the puzzles challenging. The game therefore offers exactly what long-time fans of the genre want. Of course, there are minor weaknesses, such as the less spectacular battles or the stiff animations of the protagonist, but these hardly spoil the overall experience. For the price of 15 euros, you get a solid, albeit short, experience that you can definitely play a second time. At a time when the big survival horror franchises are becoming increasingly action-packed, Post Trauma is a welcome change. It reminds us of the golden era of the genre, when the real horror wasn't in the bloody battles, but in the atmosphere, the puzzles and the constant sense of threat. Anyone longing for this experience will find exactly that with Post Trauma: an all-round nostalgia trip that brings the dark corners of the genre back to life."

About

Post Trauma casts you as Roman, a middle aged man trapped in a shifting, eerie environment. Navigate using fixed camera angles and first person sections as you piece together clues to escape. Solve environmental puzzles by examining details in your surroundings while fending off ambiguous threats. Some creatures lurk in shadows, others blend into the space, figuring out who to avoid and who to confront adds tension to every exploration. The game leans into slow burn dread with deliberate pacing and atmospheric design. The title's strength lies in its unsettling tone and methodical design. Puzzle solving feels rewarding without being obtuse, and the dual camera perspectives create disorientation that mirrors Roman's confusion. With a release date set for April 2025, it joins a wave of indie horror games focusing on psychological unease over jump scares. Available on PC and next gen consoles, it plays like a modern update to 90s survival horror traditions.
