As 2024 draws to a close, we prepare to usher in 2025, bringing with it the chance to dive into a yet-unseen and deeply haunting world.
Kicking off the new year, Post Trauma is set to drop on Xbox in 2025, delivering a terrifying array of mind-bending nightmares.
The brainchild of Roberto Serrag and Red Soul Games, Post Trauma is a nod to the classic horror greats like Silent Hill and Resident Evil.
Powered by Unreal Engine 5, the game takes players to eerie environments—such as a forsaken hospital and a derelict metro station—within a dreaded realm known as “The Gloom.” Picture tentacles crawling through walls, shadowy beasts lurking, and buildings threatening to come down at any moment. It’s a nerve-wracking experience; you never know what waits around the bend.
At the core of this nightmare is Roman, brought to life by the voice talent of Togo Igawa. Roman is a retired train driver who awakens in a daze, surrounded by unspeakable horror. His reactions, captured through Motion Capture technology, add to the authenticity and depth of his character. You’ll get a palpable sense of what Roman feels as he navigates this twisted world, grounding the entire experience.
In Post Trauma, much of the terror is built through tension and atmosphere rather than just sudden scares. The game’s soundtrack plays a critical role, with soft piano notes setting an eerie mood as Roman moves through forgotten tracks and hallways, shifting to high-intensity beats during confrontations to keep the heart racing.
As you journey through the game, the details you notice could be key to unraveling complex puzzles. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself reaching for a notepad to jot down crucial clues.
The Gloom is a perilous realm, and at times, Roman will need to defend himself in life-or-death scenarios. Thankfully, he has access to a variety of weapons, like a sledgehammer and a crowbar, and even firearms like a pistol and shotgun, which he can store safely for later.
True to the genre of survival horror, just as you start to piece together answers, new questions emerge, deepening the mystery. We are eagerly anticipating the secrets players will unveil when Post Trauma arrives on Xbox Series X|S in 2025. Make sure to wishlist it now!
Post Trauma reimagines survival horror, inviting players to delve into the chilling unknown and solve the mysteries that lie within, all in the effort to unearth hidden truths and stay alive.
As you maneuver through this unsettling reality, the blend of fixed camera angles and breathtaking visuals crafted with Unreal Engine 5 ensures both nostalgia and innovation in the horror experience. Each discovered clue and solved puzzle brings players closer to understanding this bizarre world and how to escape it.
Complemented by a talented voice cast and an immersive soundscape, with music by Nicolas Gasparini (Myuu), Post Trauma is more than just a game—it’s a tribute to the horror giants and a brand-new exploration of playstyles. Built with passion and remarkable skill, it promises an unforgettable horror journey.
