Sheltered: Post-Apocalyptic Survival Game

A survival game where you guide a family to safety in a shelter, managing health, hunger, moods, and more while expanding and improving the shelter, featuring permadeath and challenges.

What is Sheltered?

Sheltered is a post-apocalyptic survival management game developed and published by Unicube. You play as the leader of a family that has taken shelter underground in a shelter after a global disaster on the surface.

Gameplay involves managing the family members' hunger, thirst, health, moods, radiation exposure, and illnesses. Resources are scarce, so you need to make careful decisions about what to craft, how to expand and reinforce the shelter, and when to send family members outside to scavenge despite the dangers.

The game features a variety of challenges and events to deal with, including illness outbreaks, raider attacks, harmful radiation storms, and more. Characters have randomized traits and can permanently die if their needs are not met or they are gravely injured.

There is no way to directly control family members. Instead, you set priorities and schedules for them to follow. Expanding and customizing your shelter with items like workshops, medical bays, greenhouses, and recreation rooms helps improve their moods and chances of survival.

Sheltered has a distinctive pixel art style and atmospheric soundtrack. It mixes gameplay elements from the strategy, simulation, resource management, and survival genres. The game received overall positive reviews for its well-tuned survival mechanics and engaging emotional connection to the characters under your guidance.
