‘Atomfall’ Preview Highlights Its Unique Survival RPG Approach

Set in post-nuclear 1960s Britain, Atomfall blends survival mechanics, detective gameplay, and moral ambiguity in an atmospheric open-world setting.

Atomfall, developed by Rebellion Developments, is set in an alternate 1962 Britain following an exaggerated version of the Windscale nuclear disaster.
The game features an innovative 'leads' system, replacing traditional quest markers with clues and investigations that encourage exploration and discovery.
Players navigate a morally complex world where choices impact outcomes, with no clear 'good' or 'bad' options in interactions with factions and characters.
Combat emphasizes resource management and risk, with limited ammunition, melee options, and the ability to avoid conflict through stealth or negotiation.
Atomfall’s atmospheric design draws inspiration from British folk horror and 1960s media, creating a distinct narrative tone and setting.
