Summary
Welcome to Paradise… Arizona. They’re out to get you. Or are they? It doesn’t matter. You don’t have time to think, only time to kill.
Blast, maim and fire-bomb your way through 17 unsuspecting locales, from a small town to a heavily guarded military complex. Don’t get too crazy – this killing spree is anything but senseless. Out here, strategy is key and the locals are packin’ - so take advantage of the third-person "premeditated" perspective that lets you see exactly who's cold and who's still able to pull a trigger.

Storyline
POSTAL casts the user as a nameless surrogate character that is brought to the breaking point when his newly purchased home in the small, desert community of Paradise, Arizona is repossessed due to a trivial error in the escrow filing. However, when he soon comes to believe that the repossession is merely the tip of a demonic conspiracy intended to dominate humanity, he truly goes "postal."
