Running With Scissors announced horror first person shooter Flesh & Wire

Diving into the roots of the POSTAL series, Running With Scissors recently revealed the new horror first person shooter Flesh & Wire. Hopefully it will go down better than the farce that was POSTAL: Bullet Paradise.

Here you play as Angel, a seemingly normal college student that ends up getting swept up in a mission of revenge. Taking matters into your own hands you'll end up facing off against the law, military and some strange cult - all while trying to get to the Postal Dude.

This one seems to blend the real-world together with a special dream-like world that's "a surreal and otherworldly hallucinatory state where memories, monsters, and Angel’s immediate surroundings blend together and warp into a grotesque nightmare version of reality". Sounds intriguing.

Return to Arizona as Angel, a seemingly normal college student, swept up in a fever dream of conspiracy, blood, and revenge in the wake of the Postal Dude’s original murderous spree. Along with her loyal Sphinx cat Solomon, track the mysterious Dude across the desert and confront Angel’s own traumatic memories in a surreal Dreamscape.

Interesting to see the Steam Deck being mentioned with the logo in the trailer.

“Flesh & Wire is an idea we’ve been talking about internally and with our community for a long time,” said Vince Desi, founder of Running With Scissors. “With POSTAL, we’ve explored satire and our own sense of humor as the series has progressed. Now with Flesh & Wire, we’re returning to our dark, psychological horror roots - another genre we trailblazed.”

Game Highlights:

• Wreak a bloody wrath with a brutal arsenal at your disposal, from conventional weaponry and explosives to improvised arms and unearthly tools. Summon the surreal powers of otherworldly artifacts to hasten the bloodshed.
• Swiftly execute the oncoming assault of deadly military forces and shadowy agents, the onslaught of mysterious zealots at the outskirts of civilization, and the restless beckoning of dire beings from further beyond.
• Systematically clear out the varied locales in your trek, from the familiar streets of home to the fringes of the city limits and onward reaching the desolate valleys and snow-topped mountains, all while experiencing grotesque visions blending memories and monsters into a warped world that a voice in the back of your mind dubs the Dreamscape.
• Document the discoveries of new weapons, strange creatures, and more in the growing tome of gruesome knowledge that is the Journal. Search for secret messages and hidden recordings to piece together the truth behind the madness.
• Return to the dark, primordial roots of the POSTAL series. The earth is hungry...
