6/9 - save the date, as POSTAL goes all boomyshooty
In just one week everything you thought you knew about yourself, the universe, and everything else is going to change. Posing as a video game, our Hyperstrange broadcast will go directly into your subconsciousness, planting images and ideas in your mind. Images too disturbing for the eyes, ideas to risque for words. You will never be the same again. And you’ll enjoy every last second of „playing” POSTAL: Brain Damaged (PBD for short). But before we delve even further, take a moment, and click that "WISHLIST" button, if you haven't done so already.

There’s a lot that you need to know about the „game”, to ensure proper mass digital inception on 6/9, at 9am Pacific Time, so make sure you won't be disturbed for the next few minutes to properly ingest and digest the following true statements.
[h2]PBD is POSTAL re-imagined by Hyperstrange[/h2]
POSTAL: Brain Damaged is an official SPIN-OFF to Running With Scissors' legendary series of games,and it was designed, developed and co-published by Hyperstrange, a Polish indie development and publishing studio. More important than the game’s linage is its re-imagining of the series gameplay. The POSTAL series is known for its open-ended, make-your-own-fun, sand-boxy style. Nothing of sorts in PBD.

Come prepared for a fast-paced, old-school shooter with some state-of-the-art throwback graphics, hand-crafted levels, and gameplay more challenging and adrenaline-filled than in any other previous POSTAL game. This is a whole new experience for the POSTAL fan, and a great way to dip a toe into the POSTAL series to every first-person shooter enjoyer.
[h2]PBD is (more than) a boomer-shooter[/h2]
We took the essence of the modern-day boomer-shooter, poured it over a looking-glass image of the POSTAL universe, and injected some DOOM Eternal gameplay dynamics into the pot. The game wears its inspirations proudly on its sleeve and anyone who’s been riding the recent tidal wave of boomyshooties will feel right at home. But for every idea PBD borrows it throws in two original ones, and it makes sure the first one has been cranked up to 11.
[h2]PBD is a world filled with STUFF[/h2]
Since this is all a fantasy we’ve had the liberty to go absolute ham on the environment, enemy, and weapon design. In well over a dozen levels each is presented in a different theme, built from the grounds up in a different style ranging from cartoon caricature, through horror and science-fiction, to pure psychedelia. Nickelodeon toon humor is mixed with nightmarish weirdness, colors are saturated, the shapes are wobbly, and the whole experience will feel much like falling down the rabbit hole. A Doctor Seuss storybook illustrated by H.R. Giger.
If DOOM Eternal was the main gameplay inspiration to PBD, the art style and level design will remind you of such amazing games as American McGee’s Alice, Psychonauts, KISS: Psycho Circus, and good old Quake. As Vince Desi, CEO of Running With Scissors said “POSTAL: Brain Damaged is a beautiful game. If you did acid when you were young, you'll tune in. If you haven't, you don't need to, just play POSTAL: Brain Damaged.”
[h2]PBD has a lot of things to shoot at[/h2]
The colorful, detailed, and varied world is populated with around 50 diverse enemy types that look and feel fresh and familiar at the same time. The game plays homage to many other FPS classics and modern hits, while it also taps directly into the cast of the POSTAL games, bringing back many of its characters in their new, twisted and skewed incarnations.
[h2]PBD has a lot of things to shoot with[/h2]
Everyone knows their classic boomyshooty arsenal by heart. It’s pretty much the same golden standard since mid-1990s. On the other hand, POSTAL is well-known for its… avant-garde, creative approach to weaponry. Like with everything else, PBD takes familiar concepts and corrupts them with sick, fever-dream imagination.

You get a chainsaw shovel, a time-stopping nail gun, a brain-powered lightning gun, a bow that shoots wobbly pink… you’ll see. And every gun has multiple uses, alternate fire modes, and lots of animation. And if everything else fails, you can always kick - or drop kick! - the foes with your OP bunny slippers (which also grant you the power of… bunny hopping).
[h2]PBD is an official part of the POSTAL lore, but…[/h2]
When asked „where on the POSTALVERSE continuum does PBD fall?” we like to say that it take’s the continuity behind the tool shed, shoots it dead, and then makes sweet love to its remains. This is not a paralel reality, more of a perpendicular one. It’s all a fever dream, happening in the Dude’s damaged, intoxicated brain.
Which Dude’s, you may ask. Ah! This is exactly THE right question. But there’s one more question that’s been bugging you, isn’t there?
[h2]PBD is inexpensive[/h2]
We’ve been purposefully keeping our mouths shut about the game’s pricing. Some of you thought it a bad sign. Well, you can breath now, it’s exactly the opposite. Being a Polish studio we know exactly how important it is to make your game affordable on day-1 to all your players. So, let’s announce that price point in the most Slav way possible.
That’s right. $19.99 for the full game in standard edition. If you have more money tucked away for PBD, don’t worry - we’re happy to take it. The deluxe edition of the game - POSTAL: Brain Damaged Connoisseur Edition, as we like to call it, with the addition of the full OST and a digital art-book - will pop up around the time of the release, priced at $29.99, giving you the option to support us further the best way you can - with monies. Both the OST and the art-book will be available separately, or as an later upgrade if you decide to go easy on your wallet.
[h2]PBD will come in bundles & with launch-week discount[/h2]
Final word about the pricing. Grabbing POSTAL: Brain Damaged in the week of the release will let you make use of the 15% special launch-week discount, that will last until Thursday, June 16, at 9:00am PDT. But that’s not all. We want to make sure to sweeten the deal even further for Hyperstrange friends, Running With Scissors crowd, and boomer-shooter fans in general. To that end, PBD will be available in a number of steam bundle deals upon launch, paired with other games such as our own ELDERBORN, Blood West, CROSSBOW: Bloodnight (currently in Humble Bundle), RWS titles - POSTAL 2 & POSTAL 4, and some other excellent boomyshootie staples from our indie dev friends (can you guess which?).
Thank you for your your cooperation. Your mental wiring has been re-adjusted in preparation for POSTAL: Brain Damaged. See you on 6/9, when you will buy the game, play the game, enjoy the game, praise the game, recommend the game, obsess about the game, dream about the game…
Your REAL friends and family,
