As we get ready to bid farewell to 2024, a new year approaches with fresh adventures and chilling experiences waiting to be uncovered.
Coming in 2025, "Post Trauma" is set to launch on Xbox, promising players an eerie and mind-bending journey into realms filled with unimaginable horrors.
Born from the creative minds of Roberto Serrag and Red Soul Games, "Post Trauma" embraces the essence of legendary horror classics such as Silent Hill and Resident Evil. The game leverages the power of Unreal Engine 5 to craft its unsettling world, setting scenes in familiar places like a deserted hospital and a shabby Metro within a phenomenon ominously named “The Gloom.” This world is unpredictably eerie—grim tentacles slither through walls, spectral beings lurk in shadows, and the very architecture appears on the brink of collapse.
Central to this spine-chilling narrative is Roman, portrayed by the talented Togo Igawa, a retired train conductor who wakes up in a mysterious and distorted reality. His portrayal is enriched through motion capture, making Roman’s reactions and movements feel genuinely lifelike. Red Soul Games ensures that as players engage with the game, they can empathize with Roman’s thoughts and fears amidst the unpredictable chaos that surrounds him.
In "Post Trauma", suspense builds intricately, relying more on atmospheric tension than typical jump scares. The game’s soundtrack plays a pivotal role, featuring subtle piano melodies that intensify as Roman explores dimly lit hallways, with the music’s crescendo marking intense moments of confrontation and combat.
As you delve deeper into this haunting environment, paying keen attention to every visual detail becomes crucial, as hidden clues may assist in unraveling some of the game’s complex puzzles. Keeping a pad and paper handy might be a wise move for note-taking sleuths.
In "The Gloom’s" perilous landscape, survival often hinges on Roman’s ability to defend himself in critical situations. Players can wield powerful tools like a sledgehammer and a crowbar, and along Roman’s journey, they’ll discover weapons such as pistols and shotguns, which he can keep in safe containments or carry along to ensure preparedness.
True to the nature of survival horror games, "Post Trauma" keeps players on their toes, constantly evolving its mysteries just as you think you’ve figured things out. This gripping game is slated for release in 2025 on Xbox Series X|S—add it to your wishlist to ensure you don’t miss out!
