About TRAFFIC

TRAFFIC is a fictional story inspired by my own personal experiences, various news articles, statistics, and national incidents that remain unexplained.
TRAFFIC is a First-Person Psychological Horror game about a troubled child in a home where he must deal with both internal and external stresses. You will communicate with your parents, do your chores, and stay out of the way.

Secure the front gate and lock your doors. You never know who might be out there.

TRAFFIC is about a family living in Wyoming as they traverse through the economic recession of 2008. You play as the single child in a family of three, along with your Mother and Father.

Experience the gut-wrenching tension and horrifying story of TRAFFIC as you make your way through the days, doing whatever you can to take your mind off of the traumatic events occurring.

Piece the story together as you notice tiny details within the dialogue and environments.

Huge thanks to Monk for taking my terrible MIDI music and producing it into something useful and awesome.

Developed by Laud Games and published by Laud Publishing, TRAFFIC is a free-to-play first-person psychological horror game that takes a deeply personal approach to fear by focusing on emotional trauma, family struggles, and unsettling realism rather than action-heavy survival mechanics. Set in Wyoming during the financial recession of 2008, the game follows a young child living in a troubled household where everyday life slowly gives way to feelings of paranoia and dread. Drawing inspiration from real experiences, documented events, and unsettling stories, the narrative aims to create horror through believable situations instead of relying solely on supernatural elements. This grounded premise immediately separates the game from more traditional horror titles, giving it a distinctly intimate and emotionally charged atmosphere. The gameplay revolves around exploration and interaction within the family home, where players complete simple daily responsibilities while uncovering clues about the unsettling reality surrounding them. Speaking with family members, performing household chores, and securing doors and gates may sound routine on paper, but these ordinary tasks become increasi…

For me, clearly in the top 20% of the many F2P horror games on Steam. It's not perfect, I had to check a YouTube video once to make progress. But it features several vivid moments that I cannot forget.

Absolute trash of a game, almost fell asleep while playing this. I know it's free but damm, that's an hour of my life I'm not getting back.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
