While October is often associated with horror game releases, true fans know that terrifying experiences can emerge throughout the year.  March 2025 is proving this point, delivering a trifecta of classic-style survival horror titles that promise to reignite the genre's chilling legacy.

The survival horror genre encompasses a diverse spectrum, from action-packed thrill rides to the more cerebral and atmospheric experiences reminiscent of genre pioneers like Resident Evil and Silent Hill.  This month's releases lean towards the latter, emphasizing puzzle-solving, exploration, and the ever-present tension of limited resources.

The anticipation surrounding Post Trauma reached a fever pitch with the release of its unsettling trailer at The Game Awards 2022. The game's atmosphere, thick with dread and mystery, immediately captivated fans eager for a truly chilling experience.

Even disregarding potential delays, March 2025 remains a thrilling month for horror aficionados. Sorry We're Closed has finally made its way to consoles, launching on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch.  Joining the fray are Dollhouse: Behind the Broken Mirror, launching on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X on March 28th, and Post Trauma, arriving on the same platforms just a few days later on March 31st. This cluster of releases makes March a surprisingly bustling period for the survival horror genre.

Players can dive into the unsettling world of Sorry We're Closed right now on consoles.  The game masterfully blends the fixed camera angles of classic survival horror titles like Resident Evil and Silent Hill with a unique psychedelic art style and intense first-person shooter combat. Its “Overwhelmingly Positive” reviews on Steam and an 81 overall rating from critics speak volumes about its quality.

While enjoying Sorry We’re Closed, fans can also anticipate the arrival of two new titles at the end of March. Dollhouse: Behind the Broken Mirror is a first-person survival horror game where players face off against creepy doll-like creatures, manage their limited inventory, and unravel challenging puzzles.  Post Trauma, on the other hand, casts players as a train conductor trapped in a distorted reality reminiscent of Silent Hill's Otherworld, complete with puzzles, menacing monsters, and those signature fixed camera angles.

While Sorry We're Closed arrives with established acclaim, both Dollhouse: Behind the Broken Mirror and Post Trauma remain shrouded in mystery.  Horror fans will soon discover whether these new contenders live up to the genre's high standards.
