Fans of classic horror games should keep a watchful eye on Post Trauma, an intriguing title currently in development by Red Soul Games and set to be published by Raw Fury. This game draws inspiration from iconic titles such as the original Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2, featuring fixed camera angles that follow the protagonist as they navigate through various rooms.
Despite its homage to retro gaming, Post Trauma is not merely a nostalgic throwback. The developers have harnessed the power of Unreal Engine 5 to create a visually striking experience that stands apart from its predecessors. A trailer showcasing the game is available on YouTube for those eager to catch a glimpse of what’s to come.

The narrative centers around Roman, a train conductor who experiences a harrowing panic attack. Upon regaining consciousness, he finds himself besieged by nightmarish creatures, with his surroundings morphing into a terrifying landscape. The game is set to launch on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC (via Steam), and PlayStation 5.
Dark, classic horror may await
This marks the debut title from Red Soul Studios, and it piques interest as a fresh take on the classic horror genre. While modern iterations of Resident Evil have their charm, there’s an undeniable thrill in the tense, often claustrophobic camera perspectives that defined earlier games. The excitement surrounding Post Trauma is reminiscent of the appreciation for Signalis, which successfully honored the legacy of older horror games while innovating within the genre.
As the release date approaches, anticipation builds for what Red Soul Games has crafted. The gaming community eagerly awaits the opportunity to delve into this dark and atmospheric world, where both nostalgia and innovation intertwine.
