Old school horror game Post Trauma has popped up at Future Games Show at Gamescom Presented by Sid Meier's Civilization® VII to reveal a release date with a new trailer.
Debuted during the Expansion Pack post show, the sneak peek starts with an ominous shot of an abandoned train on the subway, setting a suitably unsettling dark and scary tone for what's to come as we slowly make our way through the rest of the trailer. We see our main character explore an abandoned underground before realizing that, actually, he isn't the only one there – the giant arm shooting out the floor is a highlight, but the big ol' heads with arms and legs are not. Far from a few friendly faces, we see all sorts of nightmarish beings that'll make your quest home anything but pleasant.

The trailer also features voiceover work from various characters and a closer look at new faces and environments. Excitingly, it ends with the reveal that Post Trauma will come to Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on October 29, 2024. That's just two days before Halloween, which feels very appropriate.
If you've been out of the loop, Post Trauma is a throwback survival horror game inspired by all the genre-defining past classics. As you'll see from the trailer, the vibes are much like Resident Evil and Silent Hill. Expect to manage precious inventory, solve puzzles, and survive foes you have limited means of dealing with.
Story-wise, you're in the boots of a middle-aged train conductor called Roman, who finds themselves in a twisted reality. As ever, the goal is to return to your family, but not before uncovering a few unsettling truths.
