Postal 2 STD
I have always been a HUGE fan of the POSTAL series, I played the original when I was 9 (my parents didn't regulate what I played) and was estatic when I got POSTAL 2 for my 13th birthday. I never played POSTAL 3 (thank god) and pretty much forgot about the series until my friend sent me a meme with the Postal Dude in it. Memories flooded my head and I really wanted to play the 2nd game again to relive the past. Being a poor college student, I couldn't afford the $10 steam version, so I went to my local games reseller.Digging through one of the the bargain bins, I found a CD case with "POSTAL 2+ST..." the rest was faded. Thinking this meant it was POSTAL 2 and the Share the Pain multiplayer mode, I suppresed a poggers and went to the cash register. The cashier was odd to say the least. He looked scared when he saw the disk. I asked him if he was okay and he seemed to snap out of some sort of trance and handed me the disk. "It's not an actual copy. You can have it for free" Not really caring if it was legit or not I went home.
The first thing I did when I went home was pop the disk into my computer. The game started up as normal with the "Running with scissors believes violence belongs in video games not the real world" text. Then the actual game opened. I noticed something was off in the logo. It read "Postal 2 STD" rather than just "POSTAL 2". Thinking this was some bootleg super edition with Mods I clicked Play. Then the game started loading, No difficulty screen or anything. It threw me right into the game without the opening cutscene and I then noticed the sky. It was pitch black with red clouds. BLOOD red clouds. They looked like they were almost from a real picture. I thought it was just part of the mod and opened my inventory to get the map. Except the inventory was empty. I pressed around on the number keys and took out the matchbox. Oddly enough the hands didn't look like Postal Dudes. They looked more like vinces hands (Postal Dudes boss).
I turned around and noticed the normal pathway was blocked off. My only option was to break into Postal Dudes neighbors house. I walked over and pressed Q. The door was kicked in and I froze. The floor was covered with bodies that looked almost real. I don't know how but they looked better than any graphics I had ever seen. I almost vomited at the sight. Then my character started backing away from the door, only for the screen to be forcefully turned around revealing a bloody eyed Postal Dude. I heard a distorted version of his laugh, and then Vince screamed and the screen went black. I sat there thinking "What the fuck is going on, what kind of sick fuck made this" when a new loading screen appeared. Rather than one of the days of the week, this one read "DAY OF BLOODSHED" when the game loaded in I noticed the character I was playing as had a gun. And judgeing from the height it was Gary Coleman. I noticed the gun was shakey in his hands, almost as if he was scared. I observed my surronding and noticed I was at the RWS HQ. The streets were filled with corpses of all types of NPCs, Animals, and even some I could hardly recognize.
I turned around to look at the building. I almost lost my lunch. Hanging there, from his intestines was Vince. His eyes were gone and he was crying blood. The building itself was boarded up and covered with blood. I turned around and started walking forward. I noticed that Gary walked very slowly, almost as if he was being careful so that he wasn't heard or spotted. Out of nowhere Postal Dude appeared in front of me. I fired a shot at him and heard him laugh and dissapear. Now Gary was moving a lot faster, and music was playing. I think it was something from Postal 1 but i'm not sure. every once and a while I would hear the laugh from behind me and it was getting closer. Eventually he was right in front of me and Gary fired off all of his shots, without my control. The game was now just a black screen with the sound of Gary crying, and then visuals returned. The game looked normal, except for a lack of pedestrians, then in one second it returned to the hellscape it was before, and Postal Dude appeared with a sythe and swong it. There was a scream, and then it went black. "Who the fuck made this?" I thought. Nothing would prepare me for what came next.
The next screen had one word. Just like the others it was on a screen styled like the day start screens. It simply said "Decay". Then I spawned inside the tunnel below the food store. The camera was in third person at first, then I saw who I was playing as. The POSTAL 3 dude. He looked confused and looked into the camera and shrugged his shoulders. If only he knew what was about to happen. There was now music in the background, it sounded distorted and broken but from what I could tell it was a mournful viola tune. The POSTAL 3 dude had no weapons, he didn't even have the matchbox. The sewers were very different. They seemed to be lit by red light and were much longer than before. Every once in a while the screen would go static and POSTAL dudes laugh would be heard. I got to the point were the invincible burnt dogs would be, and saw that they were absent. I jumped down into the pit and walked to where the rocket launcher would be and was suprised to see that it was still there. I picked it up and heard POSTAL 3 dude say "this might come in handy" As if one queue the screen went static for a very long time and POSTAL dude appeared. I shot a rocket and he dissapeared. POSTAL 3 dude said "what the fuck was that? I need to get out of here." and I started towards the ladder.
I made my way there and started climbing. As the camera neared the top I saw that POSTAL dude was waiting for me. I tried to jump off the ladder but I couldn't move. I heard POSTAL 3 dude whimper and then POSTAL dude swong a machete and decapatated POSTAL 3 dude. He laughed, and the screen went black. I put my head in my hands "what the fuck is this" I shouted. The black screen went static, and then, to my horror showed a live camera of me from behind, I heard that distorted POSTAL dude laugh from right behind me. I slowly turned around and to my relief, no one was there. I heard something from my computer then. "where the fuck am I?" The POSTAL dude said. I looked back to my computer to see that I was now playing as the normal POSTAL dude. He appeared to be in some strange hallway. Everything was black and static. I tried to just close the game with ctrl alt delete but nothing happened. I unplugged my computer, the lights on the computer went out but the game stayed on. I decided to just see where this fucked up... GAME would take me. I walked through the hallway but nothing seemed to change. While I was doing this I felt eyes staring at me from behind, but everytime I would look nothing would be there. Eventually, after what felt like hours, the screen went static and showed a bunch of symbols. I heard breathing from behind me. I turned around and saw a tall, charred, figure looming over me.
I woke up in a room that looked almost identicle to mine. I thought it was all a dream but my door is locked and the windows quite literally show static, almost like they're just a screen. I hear the POSTAL map music distorted and it's getting closer as im typing this. Someone help me. Please.
