News: A new post-apocalyptic game is being released next week where the choices you make will determine whether or not you survive.

Sheltered is getting ready to be released as it arrives on a plethora of platforms beginning on March 15. Sheltered is a post-apocalyptic survival game from Team 17 and Unicube. After a global apocalypse, a frightened family find their way to a deserted shelter, where they try to survive. You take on the role of protecting four family members. Their wellbeing and survival is your responsibility. One mistake, one bad decision and a loved one is gone, forever. Sheltered is a world where death is permanent.

Combat claustrophobia, radiation and mental exhaustion as you try to turn the cold and cramped shelter into a home. And as they cling desperately to life, you must send family members from the scant protection of the shelter, outside into the dangerous, desolate wasteland to scavenge for vital supplies. You’ll come across abandoned towns, roaming factions and feral beasts.

How you handle the many moral choices you'll encounter could be the difference between the family surviving or dying.

Some of the features include:

Family comes first: Keep your family alive and protect them from the ravages of the harsh post-apocalyptic world

Pets: Your pet is family too. Choose between the dog, cat, fish, snake or horse

Make the shelter a home: Maintain your shelter - keep it secure, habitable and make sure that the family have enough resources to survive. Protect your shelter from hazards and infiltration!

Crafting system: Create comforts for your family’s shelter and weapons for combat

Customization: Your family is unique to you; you decide their gender, names and their appearance

Exploration: Send out your family to explore and gather resources for everyday living and crafting

Recruitment system: Recruit outsiders with different personalities, integrate them into your shelter life and earn their loyalty

RPG mechanics: As your family develop, their stats will adapt with an evolving experience and trauma system. Attributes, strengths and weaknesses will dynamically change based on your choices

Dynamic encounter system: Your family will encounter various threats including roaming factions and feral beasts

Turn-based combat: For those that cannot be reasoned with, violence can be used as a last resort. Your family may depend on it
