Sheltered

I went in expecting narrative weight, but Sheltered is really about inventory tetris and spreadsheet stress. You manage four survivors in a shelter, rationing food and water, crafting supplies, and sending scavengers topside to loot ruins. The family dynamics exist mostly in your head; the game itself is mechanical, turn-based, and unforgiving. Permadeath, resource droughts, and random events mean one bad week can spiral into starvation. What works: the tension is real, and watching your family survive another month feels earned. What doesn't: the story beats feel flat, dialogue is sparse, and the grind can outstay its welcome. If you're chasing character arcs and worldbuilding, look elsewhere. If you want a resource-management puzzle where every calorie counts, this scratches that itch.
