EXP: War Trauma - A Cortez Productions Game

Sealed Briefing

"EXP: War Trauma" is a first-person psychological horror game that immerses players in the lingering horrors of war. You will take on the role of Krieger, a fictional World War II soldier struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after returning home from the battlefields of Europe. As Krieger, you'll experience his daily struggles with trauma, as well as the nightmarish visions that torment him while he sleeps.

The Gameplay

The Gameplay is simple and effective, taking you through a series of increasingly terrifying nightmares, each set in a different World War 2 scenario. Each night will bring you closer to uncovering the truth about what happened to Krieger during the war and why the horrors of his experiences have never left him from dealing with different enemies and creatures, to solving puzzles to uncover the truth. The game will offer an unparalleled experience of a soldier's mind haunted by the memories of war.

Powered by Unreal Engine 5

"EXP: War Trauma" leverages Unreal Engine 5's Lumen, Nanite, Megalights, and Metasounds for the most traumatic and emotionally intense WWII psychological horror. Immerse yourself in Krieger's shattered mind through dynamic global illumination, hyper-detailed environments, advanced lighting, and spatialized audio, creating a truly visceral experience of post-war PTSD.

The Trenches

Following the demo, which was set entirely within an apartment, some players assumed the full game would be confined to that single location. This trailer was created to demonstrate that the game encompasses a broader range of settings.
