Game Description
Sheltered, also known as Sheltered: Survival is tough, drops you into a post-apocalyptic world where your job is simple: keep your family alive inside a nuclear bunker. It’s part survival, part strategy, and all about making smart calls under pressure. Careful — every choice matters, and resources don’t grow on trees here.
What’s Sheltered About?
At its core, Sheltered is a survival management game. You control a family hiding underground after a nuclear disaster. It’s not about epic battles or crazy action — it’s about juggling food, water, health, and shelter upkeep. Step outside, and dangers lurk: mutated creatures or worse, other desperate survivors. Lesson learned: always carry a spare sword.
