The Date Has Been Set to Take Shelter

Probably the last few weeks you have heard news about an new post-apocalyptic game being released called Sheltered from new developers Unicube and Team 17 . A global apocalypse has hit and a scared family struggling to survive makes their way to a abandoned shelter. Your role is to protect the four family members and this brings a lot of responsibility. Every decision you make will effect their wellbeing and survival with one bad choice resulting in a loss of a loved one. And here death is permanent.

You must combat claustrophobia, radiation and mental exhaustion as you try to turn the cold and cramped shelter into a home. You must also send various family members out into the dangerous world to gather essential supplies. How you handle the many moral choices you’ll encounter could be the difference between the family surviving or dying.

• Pets: Your pet is family too. Choose between the dog, cat, fish, snake or horse
