Is The Bunker worth it?
The Bunker is worth it if…
- you want a story you finish in one evening, like a film you steer
- you enjoy interactive movies where clicking and quick-time events move the plot along
- you like digging through documents, tapes and hidden objects to piece a mystery together
- you prefer a single, well-told story over branching choices

The last man underground
His whole life is a routine his mother built for him: vitamins, radiation checks, canned beans, reading time. It keeps him sane. Then she dies, and three days later an alarm goes off.
To fix the failing systems he has to leave the rooms he knows and go down into the levels he was always told to avoid. The deeper he goes, the more his repressed memories surface, and the story slowly reveals why a bunker once full of survivors now holds only him. The twist at the end is the reason to stay in your seat.
Shot in a real nuclear bunker
There is no CGI and no motion capture here. Every frame is live action, filmed on location in a decommissioned government nuclear bunker, and it shows: the rusted corridors, the dated Commodore computers and tape recorders, the cold office lighting. The place itself does half the acting.
The cast carries the rest, with Adam Brown (The Hobbit), Sarah Greene (Penny Dreadful), Grahame Fox (Game Of Thrones) and Jerome St. John Blake (Star Wars). The script comes from writers behind The Witcher, SOMA and Broken Sword, and Dom Shovelton's neo-retro soundtrack hums underneath it all. Expect dread, jump scares and a slow, oppressive build.
What should you know before playing?
How long is it, and can you fail?
A full run takes roughly two to three hours, which suits a single sitting. You can fail quick-time events, and when you do the game sends you back to a recent checkpoint to replay the scene, so keep your clicking finger warm during the tense bits.
Is it actually scary?
Yes, though more through dread than combat. The horror is psychological: flickering lights, hallucinations, sudden jump scares and the crushing loneliness of a man whose entire world is falling apart around him. The real bunker setting and the soundtrack do a lot of the unsettling work.
