Atomfall is an action-survival game set in an alternate history 1960s, five years after the Windscale nuclear disaster, in a quarantined region of Northern England. Players must navigate this irradiated landscape, uncover the mysteries surrounding the event, and survive in a hostile environment filled with cults, rogue military agents, and mutated creatures. It is a fictional reimagining of the Windscale disaster, blending elements of historical events with folk horror and science fiction. The game's setting contrasts the idyllic British countryside with an atmosphere of paranoia, government secrecy, and supernatural undertones.
The game is played from a first-person perspective and emphasizes survival mechanics, resource management, and player-driven decision-making. While categorized as a survival game, it does not include traditional hunger or thirst mechanics; instead, players must manage their character's health and heart rate. Combat is designed to be high-risk, with firearms available but ammunition scarce. Players can engage in melee combat, stealth tactics, or avoid violence entirely. The game offers multiple approaches, including the ability to complete it without killing any enemies or eliminating all characters in the world.
Exploration takes place across a series of interconnected zones within the British countryside. These areas include rural villages, nuclear bunkers, caves, and ruins controlled by cult factions. Players interact with non-playable characters, selecting dialogue options that influence the narrative. Leads obtained through exploration and investigation unlock new objectives, which can be pursued in any order.
The protagonist, an unidentified amnesiac, must explore the quarantine zone in the Lake District to uncover the truth behind the Windscale disaster and its aftermath. The region is inhabited by a variety of threats, including mutated creatures, a violent doomsday cult, rogue military operatives, and robotic entities developed by the fictional British Atomic Research Division.
The developers describe the game as a "desperate" survival experience, with an emphasis on tension and vulnerability. Combat is designed to be unforgiving, with both the player and enemies susceptible to quick defeats. The narrative and setting incorporate influences from British pulp fiction and Cold War-era science fiction, with inspirations including The Quatermass Experiment, The Wicker Man, Doctor Who, The Prisoner, and The Day of the Triffids.
