Life In Bunker


Life In Bunker is basically The Sims with more shit to do, most of that is killing everyone in your bunker. You start off the game with a long and drawn out tutorial. I will say that the tutorial is much needed as a new player because you're going to be really confused and might start defecating in your underpants without it. Don't cry just yet though, we have only scratched the surface of this game.

You have to assign each member of the bunker a job to do. Such as Scientist, Janitor, Engineer, Cook, Farmer and so on. Once you get that all figured out you have to grow children. Now, I know what you're thinking, "There's no sex?!" There is no sex, unfortunately. This game would be a Hell of a lot better if you could watch the characters get knocked up. There are these machines that you use to grow your test tube babies and bring them into the world of your bunker.


Once these Albino, Vitamin C deficient kids are old enough you can assign them jobs as well! It's basically just a giant rinse and repeat cycle of you growing children and having people in your bunker grow old and die. There are also "Mole Men" who break through the ground if you have neglected to build a floor and will attack your bunker mates and kill them. I played for about an hour and I still have no idea what to really do.

I have done the tutorial 3 times and it didn't help me at all. You have to build machines for Air, Water, Shitters and Showers. You also need to build pipes to connect to all these things. Maybe I haven't spent enough time playing to fully grasp the concept. But I just think it's a game that we have seen before and will probably see over and over again in the near future.


Don't get me wrong, It's a great idea that has been done before in some many awful ways that the genre is just begging for a good version of the same idea to arise and shine bright through all the piles of crap that are currently on Steam. Life In Bunker currently costs $!5.99(USD) on Steam and I would suggest you spend your money elsewhere.
