Sheltered

Yes the GOG version is up to date. There is a enough in here to call it a reasonable game, but it's method of delivery might leave a lot of people cold. The 8-bit graphic style is fine, but basically you spend a lot of time staring at the shelter with occasional flips to fixed scenes for your scavengers on a mission, then back to the shelter again. It's also a very long grind of a game. You need to send people out almost constantly to gather fresh supplies and crafting gear, and the crafting scheme soaks up a lot of resources. There are upgrades as well as unlocking higher and higher tiers of items you can craft. One decent new item or upgrade in your shelter will mean a lot more expeditions just to stock up on the items you used up. So it's a very repetitive game. Mostly repairing items in a shelter while you wait for a quick flip scene from your expedition members, then they hopefully make it back. Then if you're lucky, a quick upgrade or maybe a new item, then send off the next expedition. It really depends on the player whether they are going to find enough challenge in the game to make up for staring at the same shelter for hours while they grind through the crafting tree. It's possible you might ... so some stars .. it's possible you'll get bored enough after a while to just not care .. so not 5 stars. The game has enough content, but for me the presentation of the content got too boring to want to carry on. Also worth noting. The Linux version doesn't save your resolution / full screen preferences, and for me had a quirky (window flickers a lot!) startup. In the end I found it less hassle to download the Windows version and run it under Wine.

I have not played the game yet, but I wanted to let people know that GOG's version is 1.9, which is the latest (at the time of writing) on the PC platform. Also, I am adding 5 stars to compensate for someone else's 1 star review, who believed that the game is abandoned.

I had a great time with this game. I'll cut right to it. Note: the mentioned degeneration of items that need to be repaired is not as bad as said in the 2 star review, you can even upgrade some things to make them degrade less quickly. Pro's: +Recommended game for any survivalist/rogue game enthosiast +feel of the game is amazing! (feels good man: dust storms above shelter, wild life gets trapped in your traps, black toxic rain, traders come to your shelter) +music and enviromental sounds are decent to great dependent on your own opinion. +you can customise your start group a lot (want too look like a madmax with bandana? you can) + You can select a pet (dog/horse/reptiel/horse) at start (I recomend the dog. really, it makes combat a breeze! but be sure to clean up with mop a lot) + you can get attacked in your shelter, wow my blood was pumping! got lucky with paint bucket trap +Replayability: It's hard and every time the map changes if you have to start over. cons: -it's hard (wait is that a con?) -no pause with give orders button (but you get used to it and you can plan actions ahead by giving 2 planned actions) -biggest con as of 9 august 2016 theirs no update of this game on gog! steam is already at 1.3 gog is on 1.0

Excellent meditative game of scavenging and shelter building if you ask about original mode. I don't really the new added modes. So if you want to spend some good evening after works it is you choice.
