Crapsack World: No normal person would want to live in Paradise.Black Comedy: While the first game was far more gritty and took itself more seriously, the later games moved into this territory and reveled in it without ever looking back.Badass Longcoat: The Postal Dude's attire of choice, with Cool Shades and, in the third game, fingerless gloves.And friendly AI also have problems with pathfinding and following you, making escort missions even more frustrating than they already could be.

(After a player's death or suicide, if the game is left running without restarting or reloading a saved game, NPCs standing around the body will invariably make statements such as "Somebody call Lieberman" and "I blame Doom"). Numerous jabs and insults are aimed at Joe Lieberman, including a banner that reads "Leiberman, God sees your lies", the easiest difficulty setting is "Liebermode", and in the final newspaper announcing the apocalypse on Friday, a byline that reads "Lieberman blames Doom".The use of cats as silencers for shotguns and machine guns by pushing the barrel of the gun into its rectum was commented on in an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.A tombstone can be found in the game which reads "Original POSTAL Storyline, Brutally Murdered 2002" which references how the story has little to do with the first game.This version merges the base game with its expansions ( Share the Pain and Apocalypse Weekend), adds several features from A Week in Paradise mod, and includes Steam Workshop support.

Completing errands is essential however, as some districts and areas of the town are barricaded up, thus unavailable to the player until a later day. In-between tasks, the player is allowed to explore the town of Paradise, causing chaos or just moseying around. The game also includes two extra tasks that are only activated after completing a certain errand (on Wednesday) and later if the Dude performs a special action (on Friday). The player can accomplish these tasks in any way desired, be it as civilly or as chaotically as possible, and can be accomplished in any order. The game levels are split into days of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.Īt the beginning of each day, the Dude is given several tasks or "errands" to accomplish, such as to 'get milk', 'confess sins', etc.
He arrives home safely, however it turns out he forgot one last item to get for his wife, and therefore, he shoots himself in the head to stop listening to her nagging. As he walks home, he witnesses civilians and law enforcement battle it out while cats fall from the sky.

Players take on the role of the Postal Dude, a tall thin man with a goatee, sunglasses, a long black trench coat, and an alien t-shirt.Įvery day, his wife demands him to complete a number of errands, in which he must put up with being flipped the bird, mugged, attacked by protesters, put upon by an obnoxious convenience store owner/terrorist along with his patrons who cut before him in the "money-line", plus a Marching Band, a murderous toy mascot named Krotchy, the police and SWAT, the ATF and the National Guard, a religious cult, savage butchers, psycho Taliban terrorists, and Gary Coleman himself.Īfter carrying out these tasks which almost get the Postal Dude wound up in jail or killed, Paradise erupts into complete carnage (allegedly) due to his actions over the week.
