About This Game

After the nuclear catastrophe, children stopped being born. But a rumor spreads across the wasteland that a child was born in an underground bunker. By the time you find it, the bunker is abandoned.

Survival is only the first step. Your main goal is to find a laboratory that could restore humanity’s ability to have children.

Build an Underground State

Protect your people from hunger and cold, stockpile supplies for natural disasters, and turn an abandoned bunker into a functioning base. The bigger your shelter grows, the harder it is to govern. Each social class has its own demands, and each political faction has its own interests. Decide whose demands to meet, who to negotiate with, and who to stand up to.

Lead a Shelter Where Stalkers Live Their Own Lives

Shelter for Stalkers is a 2D sandbox that simulates each stalker individually. Every resident has their own needs, skills, and money. Stalkers find jobs, work their shifts, spend what they earn, and take care of themselves. You decide what to build, how much to pay, and what to charge. The stalkers handle the day-to-day work.

Fight Your Way to the Lab

Track down the bunker’s former residents and find out what they know about the lab. Getting there will cost a fortune. Turn a profit through trade, compete for supplies on the market, outfit expeditions, and fight battles in the wasteland. Once you find the lab, decide how to get its equipment. Negotiate a handover, buy it outright, or take it by force.
