A slow, unsettling first-person puzzle adventure where you explore dark, minimalist environments while questioning reality and trust.

What players say

Players praise Traumada as a deeply personal, artful horror game with a nostalgic low-poly visual style and lots of interactive objects, but they are split on its story, which many find cryptic and loose. The game is short at about one hour, requires multiple playthroughs for all endings, and has notable bugs, especially in a solitaire minigame that can force a full restart.
