Critic Reviews for Post Trauma
The creators’ respect for the genre is clear in all aspects of the final product. For veteran gamers and horror aficionados, this game will be a wonderful trip down memory lane. Post Trauma is available on platforms.
Post Trauma is an interesting experiment in the horror genre that tries to bring back classic gameplay styles to a modern age. Despite this, there are still strange puzzles to deal with, and the first-person segments feel counter-productive to the excellent atmosphere created by fixed camera angles.
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.
Fans of classic survival horror will find this modern take on the genre partially satisfying. However, the content is largely unoriginal, and the uncomfortable camerawork is off-putting.

Post Trauma tries to bring back the horror of the 90s in a mix with the current. However, the way it was done made the game generic and without identity. Although it is not terrible, it is not worth the investment.

Post Trauma by Red Soul Games is a rough yet promising debut that modernizes classic fixed-camera gameplay well, despite clunky controls, frustrating combat, and some design missteps—but with a few patches, this could easily go from good to great.

Post Trauma is a solid homage to classic survival horror games, largely thanks to its puzzle design, fixed camera angles, and combat style. However, visual bugs, clunky animations, odd design choices, and poor optimization on PC end up undermining the experience.

Post Trauma succeeds in crafting a world that feels oppressive, broken, and painfully human. It stumbles with its combat and some narrative clarity, but its emotional core, the exploration of guilt, forgiveness, and the fight for redemption, is solid.
