What we can expect from Atomfall

Atomfall is a survival game at its core

The survival genre has some specific niches like the scarcity and importance of resources. Atomfall is no exception as players will find themselves looting all nooks and crannies for materials like ammunition, bandages, scraps, clothes, and so on.

Not only resource hunting but also inventory management will come into play throughout the entirety of the game. Players may find themselves contemplating what to put in their inventory because of its limited storage capacity. One may even find themselves sacrificing food items just to load up on B.A.R.D batteries, which are quite important and rare items in the game Atomfall.

The protagonist's identity in Atomfall

Throughout the game, players will find themselves questioning the identity of the protagonist, considering it isn't strictly addressed. Receiving a strange call from an eerie voice who orders you around, quite often over the telephone, further adds to this mystery.

Featuring a world design set five years after a nuclear disaster, a dysfunctional environment is something players can expect from Atomfall. It provides an overall sense of mystery that leads this strange character down several peculiar paths.

One big investigation with plenty of leads scattered around

Gamers will find that quests in Atomfall are replaced with leads. This essentially means that whatever you do, whichever path you go down, or whichever NPC you decide to kill, can eventually get you more leads. This makes the game one elaborate investigation for you to solve. It also presents various situations where these leads serve as the equivalent of a side quest.
