About This Game

Atomfall is a single-player survival-action game set in an alternate-1960s Britain after a fictional nuclear disaster. Players explore a quarantined rural zone, scavenge and craft supplies, barter, and engage in tense combat and stealth while unraveling a dark, folk-horror mystery. The tone mixes grim survival, British eccentricity, and unsettling cult and sci-fi themes.
