About

Panting, scared, the shelter airlock smashes down behind you. You wish you did not have to go outside, but you do. It would be easier to give up. But you don’t. The hardship, the hunger, the thirst. The fear. You keep reminding yourself why you stay alive. Why you do this. Then you hear it. “Daddy, you’re back.” You wife’s face lights up and you open a bag full of medical supplies. You need not tell her how you got them. You simply enjoy your small victory in this, the harshest of times. In the post-apocalyptic world, you must keep your family alive in your underground bunker in this deep strategy game from Unicube… Sheltered is a post-apocalyptic disaster management game that gives a whole new meaning to the term “nuclear family”. Given a head-start over the billions lost in a nuclear holocaust, you must gather as many supplies as possible en route to the concrete underground shelter that will soon become your family home for the foreseeable dreary future. With all hope lost, how will you cope in this bleak new world? How you handle the many moral choices you’ll encounter on a daily basis could be the difference between your family surviving or dying. Combat claustrophobia, radiation and mental exhaustion as you cling desperately to life in the cramp, cold and scary underground shelter. You’ll have to leave the scant protection the shelter offers behind as you’re forced to venture outside into the dangerous desolate wasteland to scavenge for vital supplies which could ensure your family’s survival for just one more day.

Storyline

Sheltered casts the player in the aftermath of a nuclear war, guiding a single family that survives the initial devastation by taking refuge in an abandoned underground shelter they discover. Sealed away beneath a poisoned and hostile surface, the family must contend with the constant pressures of starvation, dehydration, radiation poisoning, and mounting stress as their supplies dwindle. Keeping everyone alive means expanding and maintaining the shelter, managing hygiene and morale, and rationing the scarce resources that stand between the family and collapse. When stocks run low, members are forced to venture above ground into a ravaged and randomly shifting world, scavenging for food, water, and materials while facing other survivors who may be traded with, recruited, or turned violent. Over time the wasteland grows deadlier as organized and dangerous factions emerge across the map. Every decision carries weight in a fragile struggle for survival, where a single misstep can spell the end for the family sheltering below.
