Classic-Style Horror Game Getting a Re-Release Due to Oblivion Remastered Launch
Indie publisher Raw Fury will re-release its classic-style horror game Post Trauma on June 23, after its original launch was overshadowed by the surprise release of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered on April 22. Post Trauma’s developer had a bit of bad luck when choosing the release date for the game, and although Oblivion Remastered was great news for fans, the surprise launch may have impacted the PS2-style horror game’s release numbers.
The PS2 era was a golden age for horror games, with titles that became staples of the genre as well as highly praised releases in the video game industry. Some of the most important were Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 4, Resident Evil 4, Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly, among others. In addition to establishing the genre, these titles also aged well, with many serving as a source of inspiration for developers over the years—and that’s the case with Post Trauma, a puzzle horror game inspired by PS2-era classics. This recently released title offers a retro-focused style with modern improvements, multiple perspectives, and puzzles designed specifically for horror game fans. Even though Post Trauma was good news for fans, its release may have been eclipsed by the shadow drop of Oblivion Remastered.
