In this thrilling dive into the world of horror gaming, Red Soul Games takes a bold leap into the realm of classic titles like Resident Evil and Silent Hill with their latest creation, Post Trauma. Drawing inspiration from the spine-chilling atmospheres and gameplay mechanics of these iconic games, Post Trauma aims to deliver an experience that will make your hair stand on end. As players step into the shoes of train conductor Roman, portrayed by the talented Toga Igawa, they find themselves trapped in a nightmarish train with no clear escape route in sight. The game cleverly utilizes fixed camera angles to build tension and suspense, reminiscent of the eerie scenes from the Silent Hill series.
While Post Trauma excels in capturing the essence of classic horror games, it stumbles in its puzzle design, with some challenges feeling downright nonsensical. Players are tasked with deciphering cryptic puzzles that often require a leap of logic akin to a 1990s point-and-click adventure game. Additionally, the game's combat system, a blend of Resident Evil and Silent Hill styles, presents a formidable challenge with scarce resources and unforgiving enemies. The need to carefully weigh the risks of engaging in combat versus evading foes adds a layer of strategic depth to the gameplay, keeping players on their toes.
Despite its flaws, Post Trauma manages to maintain a sense of unease and dread throughout, thanks to its clever use of camera angles, unsettling visuals, and familiar horror tropes. The game successfully evokes a nostalgic feel for fans of classic horror titles while offering a fresh take on the genre. With its mix of atmospheric storytelling, intense gameplay, and eerie ambiance, Post Trauma stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of old-school horror games in the modern gaming landscape.
