The Bunker

As long as I stay in our rooms, I'll be safe. As long as I don't go outside, I'll be safe. An interactive movie with a deep story that some people might understand and love, while some others will give it a pass. John was born in a bunker, living all of his life there with his protective mother. After so many years, he became the only survivor, going through his daily routine of checking the supplies, radiation and taking his medication, John lived the rest of his years like this, until one day when his routine was disturbed and a chain of unfortunate events begins. I loved the story, I didn't see the twist coming which eventually made everything make sense. The acting was very good, especially the main character John, he portrayed a man who listens to his mother's words blindly and couldn't do anything without her around and can't escape the dark past. He captured the character with a

MY RATING: ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✘ ✘ 8 / 10 A great FMV Game with Adam Brown, Sarah Greene, Grahame Fox, and St. John Blake. After the nuclear war or: the boring and lonely life in a nuclear bunker The Bunker is all about John, the last survivor living in a British nuclear bunker and going about his daily routine until the system check forces him to go deeper and fix the malfunctions. Away from the omnipresent radioactive radiation, he is repeatedly caught up in his past and confronted with the memories that have been repressed over the years. But first let’s go back and start everything at the beginning. John's mother Margaret is dying and so John, who was born in the bunker and knows nothing other than his life underground, is alone because all the other residents have already died. So it's solely up to John to complete the daily routine, which consists of taking his daily vitamins,

Kind of a thumbs-middle review, but definitely more positive than not; it was a good game overall. As you probably know, The Bunker is a FMV-based game, mostly point-and-click, with a couple of what could be considered quick-time events (QTEs) a certain points. The first paragraph of the store page summary does a good job in telling you what the game plot is about. For a game like this to be satisfying, IMO, it needs 1) a good story, 2) good acting, and 3) sufficient gameplay to give the player some amount of agency so they're not just pressing Play to watch the next movie snippet. Based on those criteria, I'll give it a 4/5 for story, 4/5 for acting, and 3/5 for gameplay. Pros: (+) Good premise and story. The trailers make it seem like an action/thriller. It's not. To me it wasn't really suspenseful or thrilling, but it was still enjoyable to experience. The story unfolds in an inte

A terrifying experience of pure solitude. Experience the bunker John has lived thirty years in this bunker, raised as the only child in a community of 59 leaders, military and the necessary staff. This bunker is a testament to 1986, with sentimental Commodore computers and tape recorders at one side, and the cold interior office design on the other. The story is linear, and plays like a point & click. So it's not like 'Late Shift' from the same publisher, which as multiple storylines to follow. No 'choose your own adventure' game. There is however a lot of information to explore like documents, computer entries and audio tapes that shed a light to the history of this bunker. Most of them are accompanied by a reading voice. The main story has FMV flashbacks to provide context and a heck of a lot of suspense! John John is slightly repulsive. They did a good job to portray him as one

Let's make it clear: this is not an adventure game, it's an interactive movie. It's not Phantasmagoria 2, it's Urban Runner. Is 2 hours of gameplay enough? No. Is 2 hours of movie enough? Hell yos. Now back to the game - it's great. You're getting a horror story, that while not groundbreaking, is very solid material for genre (that's important) awards. Gameplay wise it's all straighforward, with some collectibles and documents being only challenge, but that's ok - it's "just" a movie.
