Update 10/03/24: Raw Fury and RED SOUL GAMES have delayed Post Trauma to 2025. Here is the full message from the companies:

Hey everyone,

We’ve been so delighted to see the response to Post Trauma and we cannot wait to get the game in your hands, but we do have some unfortunate news to share about release.

We’re so sorry to announce that Post Trauma will no longer make its intended October 29 launch date. These decisions are never made lightly and we understand any disappointment.

Sadly, we don’t think the game is in the state it deserves to be just yet, and we want to ensure the first experience players have with Post Trauma is a special one.

Among other things, we need to tweak the difficulty curve, as well as polish the game and fix bugs and we prefer not to use post release patches to add things we feel should have been available on release.

We are also working hard to make sure the console versions are as good as the PC experience and vice versa, but as a small team this presents many challenges. Our goal has always been to make a game that meets high quality standards and provides players with a lasting, unnerving experience that will make the hair stand up on your arms.

Thank you for your understanding and patience, but also for your support and enthusiasm for Post Trauma. With a little extra time and attention we can bring you the game you deserve in 2025.
