10 itemsAbout the Game
Sheltered from the Storm is a calm, atmospheric experience set in a quiet world touched by danger but defined by stillness.
Players move between various shelters — from a parked campervan, a lonely forest camp, or an abandoned house, to an underground banker bunker where the sound of rain echoes softly. Each location offers a unique mood and ambient soundscape, designed to help players relax, reflect, or simply listen.
In various scenes, you’ll encounter NPCs who belong to this world. Each character has their own daily tasks, unique personality, and background to discover. Through quiet dialogue, you’ll uncover fragments of the story. Their reactions shift depending on the weather, time of day, and ongoing events, bringing subtle life to a fading world.
There are no battles to fight, no objectives to chase — only moments to exist within. You'll sit in the dark as rain taps on rooftops, thunder rumbles in the distance, and faint growls of walkers remind you the world outside is no longer safe. The beauty lies in the quiet, in finding comfort despite the unknown.
