15 years after nuclear destruction, you’ll craft your own supplies, solve puzzles, and survive on your own. With food running scarce and only those sheltered in bunkers left alive, it’s time to venture forth into the hostile, changed world. It will contain 27 different levels from dark forests to ruined cities, each full of secrets and intricate puzzles awaiting your intellect. There’s a strong narrative focus on the main character, an outcast attempting to survive on his own. Diary entries and inner monologues tell the story. There are over 50 hours of play in the massive game world, and plenty to do finding supplies and upgrading what you’re able to cobble together.
