Green Man Gaming, Splendy Games and Wales Interactive have all entered into a partnership to develop a live action psychological horror game called The Bunker, which will be released for PC and consoles this summer.
The Bunker is about the sole survivor of a nuclear attack that has wiped out England. That survivor is john, who’s living in a government bunker that holds many secrets, and if he’s to survive the horrors deep underground he must confront his suppressed memories.

Splendy Games says that it’s a “completely live action experience with zero computer generated effects”, which was all filmed in a real government nuclear bunker located in Essex, England. It certainly reminds us of the 90s FMV era, although it’ll be interesting to see if it can become a favourite in this era.
“The publishing team at Green Man Gaming are very excited to partner with Splendy Games to showcase such an innovative and exciting game that incorporates an incredible cast, complete live action and a complex plot in a mysterious location a bunker! We look forward to working closely with the Splendy team to launch the PC game in Summer 2016,” says Paul Sulyok, Founder and CEO of Green Man Gaming.
As this is a live action experience, the game will feature actors, which includes The Hobbit’s Adam Brown and Penny Dreadful’s Sarah Greene.
“The whole experience was fascinating to be a part of. As the story is nonlinear we had to film every single possibility and interaction I became a real life games character! It’s a terrific location and very spooky they had me crawling around in some strange places!” said Adam Brown
The Bunker will launch this summer for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
