You're stuck in a coma for 11 years until a Good Samaritan wakes you up. Before you can get your mutt, the bullet lodged in your brain causes you to lose control of your car and crash into a nearby boulder. As you drive along the highway, your dog spies a cat and jumps out of the moving car to chase it. As the Postal Dude, you and your dog Champ are leaving the town of Paradise, Arizona, just as a mushroom cloud rises (from the nuclear explosion that you had detonated). The game immediately starts after the events of the last expansion, Apocalypse Weekend.

Instead of proceeding with a new stand-alone game, the developer went with Postal 2: Paradise Lost, a full expansion pack for a 12-year-old title. With this knowledge at hand, Running With Scissors decided to retcon it so the third game never happened. For the fans, however, the third game was a major step backward in all respects, and it was a more than disappointing debut for the developer's foray into Steam. The critics always thought it was a bad title, so the revelation that the third iteration was worse came as no surprise.
