Game Podunk Editor, Marcus Estrada writes, "Trauma is a game which has been making the rounds in the indie world but didn't seem to have much of a name outside it. However, the game finally saw a release which was pushed heavily by Steam. Because of the publicity from Steam many gamers who would have never seen the game took a look. Is it good? Is it bad? Honestly, it's hard to give an opinion either way when everyone who plays the title will get something different from it. Still, it's worth hearing a little about the game before jumping in. If this review still leaves you on the fence then I urge you to try out the game via the developer's website."

Touch Arcade: Trauma [$2.99] gives us few concrete facts. There is a hospital, a woman in a bed, a doctor offering an uncertain prognosis. Beyond that, a series of dreams pieced together from photographs and memories, narrated by the woman, a victim of a traumatizing accident.
Growth and exploration are two themes deeply entwined in Trauma, and the game approaches them from a mature perspective. It's a tale of a young woman coming to terms with her life in the wake of an accident, dealing with her photographic dreams through a series of gestures and discoveries.
