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.
Completexbox: 75 / 100 by Dan Boise
Post Trauma is a great, enjoyable, albeit short survival horror game. The environments, settings and characters all do their part to offer an unnerving experience. The fixed camera is a welcome addition and throwback to classic gaming. Despite its flaws; lack of map, backtracking, questionable voiceover and sometimes clunky movement, Post Trauma is a fun and creepy experience. I strongly recommend playing this little gem, whether you’re a long time fan of the genre or looking to dip your toes.
Use a Potion: 7 / 10
Post Trauma may stumble when it comes to storytelling and combat, but its eerie atmosphere, enjoyable puzzling, and old-school charm keep it compelling. For fans of classic survival horror, it’s a flawed but fascinating throwback that knows exactly what it wants to be, with its clever puzzles, unsettling world, and traditional fixed-camera presentation certainly evoking memories of some of my favourite survival horror experiences from my younger years. Add to that the low price-point and it’s definitely worth taking a look at if you’re eager for that classic survival horror buzz.
