Fixed camera angles? Check. A tape recorder masquerading as a save point? Check. Convoluted puzzles? Check. That's Post Trauma, announced at The Game Awards last night. Very much a classic survival horror experience, it is launching on consoles in 2023. PS5, PS4 weren't actually confirmed — no platforms were — but it's probably happening.
Tank controls will be optional, but it's recommended you play the game with a notepad. We love it. "Post Trauma is both a tribute to and a modern take on classic horror games, blending old-school fixed camera angles with high fidelity graphics, smooth controls and immersive soundscapes. Play as Roman, a middle-aged train conductor, as he tries to understand and escape the surreal world he’s trapped in."

One to keep an eye on, for sure.
I loved Signalis' tribute to classic survival horror so much this year.
ngl, I thought that they were announcing another Silent Hill game here. Still going to keep my eyes on this. It has potential
I sure hope they fixed the all the issues the demo had, and listening to the feedback. Cause that demo was rough.. And not in a good way.
Post Trauma...P T.
Someone's trying to cash in on the Silent Hill hype
We put up with games like these back in the day because we had to, not because we wanted to. Everything else is just rose-tinted nostalgia for your lost youth.
This is the sort of thing that will be picked up for an hour before you realise just how annoying these old games were and put it down again.

Totally disagree.
I went through most of the great survival horror canon of the PS2 for the first time in 2018 (Kuon, Fatal Frame trilogy, Haunting Ground, Rule of Rose, Clock Tower 3 etc). I really enjoyed Tormented Souls from 2021. Signalis is one of my GOTYs for this year. My favourite games growing up were the Resident Evil and Silent Hill series, as well as Dino Crisis — and I always enjoy replaying titles from these series.
It's a real niche, I'll give you that. But if there weren't enough of us enjoying these throwbacks, they wouldn't be making them.
Interesting announcement, will be keeping an eye on this game.
