- Atomfall, developed by Rebellion, is set in an alternate history England following a fictional escalation of the Windscale nuclear disaster.
- The game replaces traditional quest markers with a Leads system, encouraging players to explore and uncover mysteries organically.
- Critics praise Atomfall’s detailed setting, inspired by mid-century Britain, and its incorporation of social and political commentary.
