One of the things that makes certain post-apocalyptic stories so compelling to watch is seeing how the survivors manage to handle the most difficult of choices. How to manage food, how to handle threats, and, of course, deciding how far you’ll to save another life…or if you’ll condemn them to death to ensure you and others you care for survive. In From The Bunker by DEM Games and Indie.io, you’ll have to make that call for yourself, as you’ll manage a group of survivors and do whatever you can to survive…even if that means making sure others die in your stead. Think you can make that call? Learn more about the game below, if you think you can stomach the challenges ahead…

“A viral outbreak has emptied a quiet southern town. The people who survived it are packed into an abandoned bunker in the forest, and every day brings a new decision about who eats, who works, and who goes outside.

You play the group’s leader. Survivors arrive with their own strengths, weaknesses and needs, and their physical health, mental state and willingness to fight for the group all trace back to how you lead them. Neglect someone and they may walk out.

Choose wrong and they may not survive at all. The bunker is the other half of the job: a forgotten shelter you turn into somewhere people can actually live, while the infected, hostile factions and desperate looters press in from outside.”

Still need more to decide your future in the game? Here are some key features to check out:

• Lead a group of survivors — Assign jobs, monitor morale, and balance hunger, fear and exhaustion before they tear the group apart.
• Defend your last refuge — Build generators for electricity, upgrade boilers for clean water, raise barricades against infected hordes, and set traps for nighttime raids.
• Venture beyond the bunker — Search ruined streets, abandoned shops and military depots for weapons, food and medicine, and weigh the risk of every expedition against what the group needs.
• Every choice matters — Over 300 narrative events force hard calls that shape the group’s future, with different outcomes and endings depending on what you decide.
