Nuclear family values.



<span class="bold">Sheltered</span>, a gut-wrenching survival management centered around a post-apocalyptic family, is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com with GOG Galaxy support for achievements and leaderboards, and a 20% launch discount.

Can you imagine watching the bombs drop all around your family, reducing everything and everyone you know to radioactive dust? It's a distressing sight, but now is not the time for reflective desperation. You must reach an underground shelter and seek the means to keep your loved ones safe at all costs.

Getting your family Sheltered is priority number one but keeping them out of harm's way will prove a much more taxing undertaking. Supplies are hard to come by, ruthlessness and opportunism now reign over the desolate land, and humanity reserves are running low with each passing day. How you build and equip your shelter, how you manage your limited supplies, your scavenging missions, your various encounters with people and hostile wildlife, and even the relationships within your family could mean the difference between life and death. As the head of the family you can decide the starting attributes of all its members but they will be shaped dynamically by the hardships of everyday life you are struggling to shelter them from. Potential allies of questionable loyalty will join your shelter and your family might eventually grow larger but before you can dream of building an underground dynasty that can withstand the holocaust's aftermath, make sure to come back alive from this surface mission for crafting materials. Your family's wellbeing depends on it.



Keep your family <span class="bold">Sheltered</span> from the horrors of post-apocalyptic survival, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 20% launch discount will last until March 22, 1:59 PM GMT.

It's not a bug, apparently it's a feature, and a pretty stupid one at that... :/

Those are the first things I disable in any game that has them. :D
And then I disable any antialiasing.

I think it is, as it doesn't seem to be consistent.

I don't know. I'd need a CC number to verify.

No it's not a bug, I've talked to gog desk about it... it has to do with the way they take the USD price then round it then translate to euros then reround again... sometimes a game will be X cents more than it should after sale price, and sometimes (but way more rarely) it'll be the other way...

Utterly stupid, but that's how they do it here... damn polacks... :P

Well, then they need to change their post to "......19% - 20% discount depending on your region".
It's not the cost of the 1% it's the fact they stated 20% and it isn't. That's all :)
Looks fun, but is it?

And I say that 20% of X should be 20% of X, not of an arbitrary Y... :P

But you're right: regional sale-ing is not a good idea either...

F4LL0UT: Ha, that was my very first thought when I saw the screenshots as well. :D

100% With you.

Surprisingly, when I read any posts you made, I hear it in Dr Zoidberg's voice :)

Played it for the first time last night and it is pretty amusing. There's quite a bit of micromanagement, but I think there's an auto-mode for each person that tells them to take care of their own personal needs, so that all you have to do is assign whatever tasks you want done. I got overly ambitious early on and took on too many new shelter members, and consequently ran out of rations. Also didn't build things in quite the right priority. But that's the nature of such games, you get better as you discover how the game world works.

I did uncover an Easter egg in the game already. I started with a lesbian couple as the parents, and the first person to come ask to move into the vault was Mary Cheney. It even looked like her, as much a pixelly blob person could. Her cameo makes even more sense when you realise that her father is exactly the kind of political shithead who would start a nuclear war.
So Sheltered is on sale right now. One of the top reviews states it's abandoned and not updated on GOG. Anyone have more info before I commit to it?


EDIT: Strike the above, the Sheltered-specific forums say it finally is.

Yeah, was just about to say the same. I got an updated version not that long ago, version 2.1.0.3 (my original was 2.0.0.2 from back in June).
