Below the Dust: Shelter Game

Nothing built. Everything possible.

Below the Dust starts with an empty entrance in the mountain. From there, you dig out every room and build a shelter of your own, one level at a time.

If you enjoy a shelter building game where you plan the layout yourself, this one gives you a blank slate and lets you fill it.

HOW IT PLAYS

- Dig rooms and extend the lift to reach deeper
- Drag named dwellers into rooms and put them to work
- Collect power, food and water to keep everyone going
- Merge matching rooms to make them stronger
- Reach the outside

BUILD IT YOUR WAY

No two shelters need to look alike. You choose where each room goes, which dwellers work where, and how your home grows. Pan and zoom to see the whole shelter, or get close to check on the people living in it.

KEEP THE SHELTER RUNNING

Power, food and water are the heart of any home underground. Keep all three flowing and your dwellers have what they need. Put the right dweller in the right room, and matching rooms can be merged to build up what your shelter produces.

For anyone who likes a survival shelter building game with a quiet, thoughtful pace, there is plenty here to plan and tinker with.
