Those looking to get into the psychological horror roots of the POSTAL series will be happy to learn that Running With Scissors is doing just that with their newly-announced first-person shooter Flesh & Wire. Coming in 2027 to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and GOG, the game delves into the twisted reality of a hapless victim seeking answers and grisly vengeance.
Details on the story are minimal at this time, but Flesh & Wire sees players take on the role of Angel, who has been swept up into a fever dream of conspiracy and blood as she looks to find answers and exact revenge against the crazed gunman who changed her life forever.
“Flesh & Wire is an idea we’ve been talking about internally and with our community for a long time,” says Vince Desi, Running With Scissors founder. “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.”
As Angel, you’ll carve a bloody wrath with a brutal arsenal at your disposal, from conventional weaponry and explosives to improvised arms and the surreal powers of otherworldly artifacts to hasten the bloodshed. You’ll be up against 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.
Throughout your quest, you’ll venture into varied locales, 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. You’ll also be recording your exploits, such as the discoveries of new weapons, strange creatures, and more in your Journal. Sift through that information for secret messages and hidden recordings to piece together the truth behind Angel’s madness.
