Enemies range from pistol wielding police, bomb throwing vigilantes, rifle toting SWAT teams, and rocket firing soldiers, among others. The main objective of each level is to kill a certain number of hostiles. The game primarily has an isometric point of view, but some levels are set in a top-down perspective.
The Dude himself is shown lying in a padded cell, straight-jacket bound, suggesting he was truly insane all along. The ending movie features a doctor making a report on the Dude's psyche, commenting on the phenomena of "going postal" and how the stresses of modern life can drive one to madness. After passing out, he's presumably captured and incarcerated in a mental institution. He attempts to murder a group of elementary school students during recess, but realizes that his weapons are useless as the children are seemingly unaffected.
The game ends with the Postal Dude experiencing some sort of psychotic episode. Capped off by the sudden eviction from his home, the Postal Dude believes himself to be the only sane man left and sets out to put an end to the madness in his town, which he believes originates from a local Air Force base. The plot of POSTAL is deliberately kept vague as to not distract from the gameplay.įrom what can be gathered through the original website, manual, and the game itself, an average man known only as the Postal Dude discovers that a mind-altering substance has been released onto the town of Paradise, infecting the populace with insanity and bloodlust.
