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.

Your goal is to survive the apocalypse in your bunker. You have to manage your food, water, stress, and health. The air can kill you; wear your gasmasks. The wildlife can kill you; watch out for those teeth and claws. People can kill you....and they will try.
Travel to locations to gather supplies and build your new home. You can trade with NCPs or kill them to loot. I was pretty passive and non-aggressive with other survivors; I ran from most fights, ha. In the hours I put into the game, there really was only two things that was negative. I sent a party out in my revived RV caravan and they died...so I lost my RV in the wilderness. I read you could get a side quest to retrieve it but I never saw it after about 8 hours of playing. It was VERY disappointing to lose the RV since I spent the majority of the game to build it. Second, there are times when your bunker gets attacked and I find it odd you can't fight the intruders off. You can only hide or place traps. Strange that my character would just hide somewhere when they have a shotgun with ammo in the bunker with them.
It was a good overall experience. I did enjoy playing it and again, I don't normally play a lot of survival games.
