Postal III is a third-person shooter video game developed by Trashmasters and Running with Scissors, and published by Akella. It is the third installment in the Postal franchise and was released for Microsoft Windows in December 2011. Ports for OS X, Linux, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 were announced, but ultimately canceled. The game follows series protagonist The Postal Dude who, after leaving Paradise in the previous entry's Apocalypse Weekend expansion pack, finds himself in the town of Catharsis, Arizona after running out of gas, and must find a way to escape. Postal III was a critical and commercial failure. Following backlash from critics and fans, Running with Scissors declared the game a spin-off and retconned it as non-canonical. Akella entered bankruptcy and ceased operations in 2012.
