Trauma is an independent game by Krystian Majewski, which escapes attempts to categorize the genre. It tells the story of a woman who found herself in hospital as a result of a car accident. The player observes the patient's dreams and, by interfering in their course, tries to improve her mental state. The game won two nominations in the prestigious Independent Games Festival Awards 2010 competition.

TRAUMA tells a story of a young woman who survives a car accident. Recovering at the hospital, she has dreams that shed light on different aspects of her identity - such as the way she deals with the loss of her parents. TRAUMA lets you experience those dreams in an interactive way, reminiscent of Point-and-Click Adventure Games. It builds upon this established formula by introducing a gesture-based interface, real-time 3D technology for dynamic level layouts, unique photographic visuals and a level design philosophy that focuses on creating a rich experience rather than an elaborate puzzle challenge. Combined with the unconventional story, it is aimed to be a compact and deep game for a literate and mature audience.
