Sheltered is a survival management game set in a post-nuclear wasteland. You control a family living in an underground bunker, balancing resource scarcity with the psychological toll of confinement. The core loop involves managing your shelter's systems—water, food, power—while sending family members on scavenging runs to the surface for supplies. Each expedition risks radiation exposure, injury, or worse. You'll face moral choices that affect your family's mental state and survival odds. Claustrophobia, hunger, and radiation sickness are constant threats. The game emphasizes the tension between staying safe underground and the necessity of dangerous surface trips. Resource management is granular: you track individual family members' health, mood, and skills. Fits players comfortable with bleak scenarios and permanent consequences.
