The Bunker

Mechanics

In of the mechanics, The Bunker for PC, SWITCH and etc. does not bring any significant novelties to the exploration-adventure genre of today. The player explores subsequent chambers of the bunker, which is filled with many pieces of old hardware, such as the already forgotten Commodore computers. Also, the player searches for clues that could allow the protagonist to escape this unusual scenery. During the adventure, the player encounters numerous reminescences of the bunker's former inhabitants, as well as arcade sequences requiring them to make quick decisions in order to avoid different threats and stay alive.

Technical aspects

The Bunker for PC, SWITCH and etc. stands out with its visuals definitely, for the game does not feature any computer-generated elements. The gameplay here is based entirely on movie sequences featuring real actors, and only interface-related elements were affixed to them. Obviously, this affects the in-game movement system significantly, but the creators followed the pattern established by the majority of similar games in this respect. Interestingly, the previously mentioned movie sequences were shot inside a real-existing, government shelter located in Britain.

As befits an FMV game, the cast comprises real actors, among whom are people such as Adam Brown (Hobbit), Sarah Greene (the Penny Dreadful series), Grahame Fox (the Game of Thrones series) and Jerome St. John Blake (Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace). All of this is complemented by an old-school soundtrack composed by Dom Shovelton.
