A structured look at the narrative, game feel, and traits that define this game.

Story & context

POSTAL casts the user as a nameless surrogate character that is brought to the breaking point when his newly purchased home in the small, desert community of Paradise, Arizona is repossessed due to a trivial error in the escrow filing. However, when he soon comes to believe that the repossession is merely the tip of a demonic conspiracy intended to dominate humanity, he truly goes "postal."
