Sheltered

Sheltered is a post-apocalyptic disaster-management game about keeping your family alive in an underground bunker after a nuclear holocaust. You gather supplies on the way to the shelter, then maintain it as your family’s home while venturing into the dangerous wasteland to scavenge for what they need.

The shelter and your family

Keep the shelter secure and habitable, provide enough resources for the family and protect it from hazards and infiltration. The cramped, cold shelter brings risks such as claustrophobia, radiation and mental exhaustion. You can choose your family members’ genders, names and appearances.

Your choices shape the family’s attributes, strengths and weaknesses through an experience and trauma system. Daily moral decisions can affect whether they survive, and you can craft comforts for the shelter as well as weapons for combat.

Explore and encounter others

Send family members out to explore and collect resources for everyday life and crafting. You can recruit outsiders with different personalities, integrate them into shelter life and earn their loyalty. Encounters include roaming factions and feral beasts.

Combat and companions

When an encounter cannot be resolved through reason, turn-based combat offers violence as a last resort. You can choose a pet for the family: a dog, cat, fish, snake or horse. Vehicles make exploration quicker and safer.
