Announcing Shelter Manager, a post-apocalyptic city management sim
Recruit survivors, upgrade your bunker and protect humanity's remnants through three deadly apocalypses
September 8th, 2021, Ukraine - It’s the end of the world as we know it, and developers Hamsters Gaming feel fine. In Shelter Manager—launching into early access soon on Steam—players step into the stockpiled shoes of a bunker administrator, tasked with leading your people through an earth-shattering cataclysm and preparing them to reclaim the surface. That is, if they can survive the long, hard years living underground.
In Shelter Manager, players can customize the existential threats they’re facing, with multiple scenarios available. Nuclear war, deadly plague or a planet-pulverizing meteor impact each provide different challenges to face in the dark days ahead. After choosing their starting location and initial resources, players have to decide what kind of civilization they want to lead out of the apocalypse.
Without a well-managed bunker, the destruction of everything you’re protecting seems inevitable. Players are tasked with managing the wellbeing of their bunker and the civilians inhabiting them. Deal with food rationing, electricity usage, and even everyone’s sleeping habits in order to maintain order. The bunker itself needs to be expanded and reinforced as well, as the stability of the structure will deteriorate over time. Nobody said the apocalypse would be easy.
Shelter Manager also asks what kind of leader you are. Will you assemble a utopian enclave of scientists, researching new technologies to confront the threats ahead? Will you lead a hard-working town of laborers, mining and expanding for resources to trade with other bunkers? Or will you carve out a new future through force of arms, raising a powerful army to raid for resources.
Features:
- Choose from three locations (USA, Europe, and Asia) and one global catastrophe to live through (Nuclear war, global pandemic, or meteorite strike)
- Manage the bunker’s food, electricity, and sleep habits of civilians
- Expand the bunker by recruiting more civilians
- 10 special rooms to unlock and expand the bunker
- Produce weapons and war with other bunkers for supplies
- 6 different types of weapons and soldiers to choose from
Shelter Manager launches into early access soon on Steam, and preview copies will be available soon. Email the media contact below for more details.
