Sheltered is a deep and emotional survival management game. You take on the role of protecting four family members who, after a global apocalypse, have found their way to a deserted shelter.
You take on the role of protecting a family of four - a mother, father, son, and daughter - plus a pet of your choice, such as a dog, cat, or snake. After a global apocalypse, this family has found refuge in an underground bunker, and your objective is to ensure their survival in this harsh, post-nuclear world.
Maintaining the bunker's critical systems is paramount. You must constantly monitor and upgrade the water purifier, air filtration, power generator, and other infrastructure to keep your family healthy and comfortable. Failure to properly maintain these systems can lead to disasters like contaminated water or suffocating air.
Sending family members out on expeditions is crucial for gathering vital resources. These turn-based forays into the desolate wasteland can yield food, water, crafting materials, and even new survivors to recruit. However, the expeditions also carry risks, as your explorers may encounter hostile raiders or dangerous wildlife that must be dealt with.
An extensive crafting system allows you to create a wide variety of items, from weapons and tools to furniture and decorations. As you progress, you'll unlock new recipes and be able to expand and upgrade the bunker itself, adding new rooms and facilities to improve your family's quality of life and chances of survival.
Each family member has unique stats and traits that can evolve over time. As they engage in activities like combat, reading, or exercise, their skills improve, making them more effective at certain tasks. Carefully managing the development of these characters is crucial to ensuring your family can handle the challenges they face.
Throughout the game, you'll be presented with numerous moral choices that can have significant consequences. Should you trust and recruit new survivors, or turn them away? How do you allocate limited resources when difficult decisions must be made? These choices can impact the family's immediate wellbeing, as well as their long-term psychological state.
The combination of randomized events, character interactions, and your own decision-making creates a unique and emergent narrative experience. Each playthrough can unfold differently, with your family facing a variety of challenges and obstacles that shape their struggle for survival in this harsh, post-apocalyptic world.
