At a glance

Sheltered is a post-apocalyptic survival management game from Team17, released in 2016 for Windows, macOS and Linux. You protect a family of four living in an underground shelter after a global apocalypse. Keeping them alive means managing their needs while making moral choices, and sending people into the wasteland to search for supplies. The shelter itself brings challenges including claustrophobia, radiation and mental exhaustion; outside, scavenging takes the family beyond its limited protection. The game is single-player and includes Steam Cloud, achievements, leaderboards and trading cards, along with full controller support, Remote Play on TV and Family Sharing. Its genres include indie, RPG and strategy. Sheltered focuses on the difficult choices and resource needs involved in keeping a family alive, rather than on multiplayer server play.
