What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Nuclear Nightmare will be in early access as the game is designed for multiplayer gameplay and thus there could be many unforeseen features or larger gameplay changes to increase replayability that need to be catered to in future iterations. On top of that, we want the community to be a part of Nuclear Nightmare's development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We would like Nuclear Nightmare to be out of early access 6 months - 1 year after the initial release date.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“It is planned that the full version will have increased replayability driven by more gameplay elements, maps, features, and customization.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the game in early access is as we intend the full product to function. However, more new open world maps, new features, and squashing as many bugs as possible is why we have placed Nuclear Nightmare in early access.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We would like to cater to our community by implementing any requested features/changes and ideally allow users to create mods and/or community-made content in the steam workshop.”

About This Game

Join your fellow players in assembling an elite extraction team for a thrilling mission to recover classified materials hidden in the harsh Arctic landscape. Gather the necessary supplies to call in an evacuation chopper and make your escape back to civilization. Will you succeed?

Explore a vast open world with a variety of vehicles and trusty huskies to help you navigate the expansive terrain. Earn points to unlock powerful perks at soda machines, discover new suits, and even unlock dance moves! But beware—time is running out. With a devastating nuclear strike looming from the US government to contain the black goo virus, your mission is clear: salvage critical information about the vaccine before it’s too late. Can you beat the clock and complete your mission?

Beware the lurking threat of the black goo virus. In this perilous mission, you must test for infections and stay vigilant—anyone, even your loyal husky companions, could turn at any moment. Manage your resources wisely; each vaccine can cure an infection only once, and your inventory is limited to just five slots.
