Ten years after his Apocalypse Weekend escapades…

The Postal Dude finally returns! Paradise Lost is a full-fledged expansion pack for POSTAL 2 continuing the saga of the POSTAL series. Join the Dude as he ventures back into his former hometown embarking on a quest to find his lost dog. Not all is at it seems, as the once tranquil (relatively speaking) town and its citizens have been transformed in the wake of the nuclear destruction. Dare to enter the varied Zones as you cross the Arid Desert, trek through the dense Rainy Foliage, freeze your nuts off in the Nuclear Winter, and roam under the Ashen Skies.

Meet the many mysterious factions comprised of the towering, the miniature, the zombified, and everything in between and use your radiant people skills to attempt to ally yourself with their enigmatic leaders, ranging from former child stars to terrifying demonic udder-wielding beasts! Fierce Lawmen, crazed Bandits, deranged Doomsday Survivalists, and a phallic child’s toy mascot await. Do whatever it takes to survive! Wait in lines! Use vending machines! Buy toilet paper! Journey to where it all began to rescue your loyal companion!

Game Features

    • A complete singleplayer campaign: Brave Monday through Friday with twists and turns each day.
    • Free roam, non-linear, errand-based gameplay: Go do your daily chores or just screw around as you aimlessly run amok in the town!
    • Peaceful vs. Violent decisions: Choose to be a wussy pacifist or wipe out everyone in your way. Hey, it’s the apocalypse, so you’ll probably fit in!
    • New arsenal and items: Take out some unlucky punks with the Revolver! Enact wasteland justice with the Lever-Action Shotgun! Whack some weeds and perhaps other meatier subjects with the Weed Whacker!
    • Dual-wielding: Double your fun with double the gun!
    • Boss battles: Settle some scores once and for all mano a mano.
    • Full controller support: Piss on strangers from the comfort of your couch!
    • The Dude’s original voice: No bogus imposters here!

Development History

2014

Running With Scissors begins work developing a brand new expansion pack for POSTAL 2, as a ‘thank you’ to the fans who helped bring the game to Steam, through the wildly successful Greenlight campaign, and as an apology for how Postal III turned out.

2015

POSTAL 2: Paradise Lost is released on Steam

4446 patch (Windows only) is released on Steam. Several enhancements and tweaks we’ve rolled back from Paradise Lost, most notably the footstep sounds which now match type of surface the Dude is walking on.

2016

POSTAL 2 continues receiving updates for both the base game and Paradise Lost.

Postal 2: Paradise Lost Review – World’s Bloodiest Errand Simulator“, by TechRaptor

  • Trying to phrase it in any meaningful manner is futile, but let’s give it a shot: [Paradise Lost is] Slayer mixed with Falling Down and maybe just a pinch or five thousand of cocaine.
