S.H.E.L.T.E.R. traps you inside a government shelter following a nuclear disaster. Here, hunger and radiation are a constant threat, but boredom and cramped living conditions give rise to far more intense temptations. You play as a survivor surrounded by characters with dark desires: your mother Angela, your sisters, the therapist Kira, and the voluptuous Melisa. Every line of dialogue, every glance, presents a choice that brings you closer to – or pushes you further from – intimacy. This visual novel combines survival and explicit scenes in an apocalyptic atmosphere where family ties are tested. It’s up to you to chart your course, between reason and instinct, in this interactive story with multiple endings.
Note: All the characters in this game are fictional and of legal age. The situations depicted are fictional scenarios involving consenting adults and are in no way intended to encourage such behaviour.
