You wouldn’t immediately think of a quaint British countryside town when you say first-person survival horror.

And yet, it’s alsoperfect.

It’s the juxtaposition of it all, but also the fact that Atomfall is based on real-world events.

Atomfall’s set five years after the real-world Windscale fire that took place in 1957.

Windscale was the worst nuclear disaster in the history of the United Kingdom.

The beautiful British countryside being ravaged by nuclear materials creates a familiar yet eerie feel.

It’s both comforting and haunting.

The small town locale also means that the people you meet are even more interesting.

The countryside landscape also makes for interesting and unorthodox routes.
