Release Date: April 22, 2025
Horror action adventure game, a single player project inspired by the cult classic of horror games - Silent Hill. The main protagonist of Post Trauma is Roman - a 57-year-old man who unexpectedly wakes up in an eerie and mysterious subway.
Post Trauma is a TPP action adventure game, in the style of psychological survival horror. It is a single-player project, inspired by the classic of the genre - Silent Hill. Its demo was released on Steam on December 5, 2021.
The main character for unknown reasons wakes up in a subway train. On the walls of the train car are hanging disturbing posters, and one of the ages is blocked with chains. The man approaches the map and finds that he does not recognize any of the stations marked there. Subsequent rooms hide more and more eerie secrets, and the first monsters Roman encounters are initially described as the product of a conscious dream that has turned into a nightmare.
The main goal of the game is to explore the spooky world, fight or avoid the monsters that threaten the protagonist and solve various puzzles. As in Silent Hill games, the character pays attention to objects with which he can interact. The first weapon available in the game is an axe, hanging on the wall of one of the corridors. At the very beginning of the game, the protagonist also acquires a flashlight.
The protagonist has limited endurance. If he runs for a long time, a green bar is displayed on the left side of the screen. When it is completely depleted, it is replaced by a red one. Until the red bar is recharged, the character is not able to run. It's also worth to be cautious during the fight, because it only takes a few blows for the monster to kill our hero. At the moment of death the game takes us to the save room.
The game features 3D graphics, developed on the Unreal Engine. The song Disintegrating, used in the end credits, was composed by Myuu. The music in the save room - Acrylic on canvas - was composed by Jason Shaw.

Game Ratings for Post Trauma Video Game.
Restart.run: 2 / 5 by Lucas White
Puzzles are a divisive element in many Survival Horror games. When you need to justify and expand game time for an experience mostly driven by vibes and avoiding awkward combat, what else can you do? Clearly, one easy answer is to add backtracking in order to sniff out keys and doohickeys to fit into mysterious slots powering absurd door-locking mechanisms. It works for Resident Evil, at least. But there’s a balance in making this stuff actually work. A balance the subject of today’s review struggled with, to say the least.
Checkpoint Gaming: 5 / 10 by Jarrod Harrison
Red Souls Games should be proud of releasing their debut title; there is no doubt about that. But as a game striving to honour the paragons of survival horror, Post Trauma significantly falls short. Its astounding art direction and captivating music create an unnervingly eerie atmosphere that will stick with you well after the game's conclusion. But Post Trauma's muddled and borderline incoherent story, flat characters, frustratingly difficult puzzles, and incredibly easy gameplay, where the stakes are never felt, are a real disservice to what is a clear love letter to horror.
Game8: 70 / 100 by Allisandra Reyes
Post Trauma offers a nostalgic journey through classic survival horror, but doesn’t quite manage to recapture the magic of its inspirations. The atmosphere and sound design provide an immersive experience, but the gameplay often feels cumbersome, and the story leaves much to be desired. While it hits the right notes for horror enthusiasts, it occasionally stumbles in execution. It’s an enjoyable ride for those seeking a taste of PS2-era horror, but it’s far from perfect.
