Overview
Description

Fallout 3 thrusts players into the devastated Capital Wasteland, blending first‑person shooter mechanics with deep role‑playing choices. As the Lone Wanderer, you scavenge, fight, and shape the fate of survivors in a richly detailed, sandbox environment. The game offers a mature narrative, extensive character customization, and a seamless world where every decision influences the story, delivering countless hours of immersive gameplay.

POSTAL casts the user as a nameless surrogate character brought to the breaking point when his home in Paradise, Arizona is unjustly repossessed. Believing the repossession is part of a demonic conspiracy to dominate humanity, he unleashes relentless vengeance across 17 distinct locations. Navigate through a small town to a heavily guarded military complex using a third-person premeditated perspective. Employ strategic combat tactics against armed locals in this intense indie action horror experience developed by Running With Scissors.
