It’s time for a huge update… even bigger than the pile of bodies in the soil above your shelter.
We’ve been chuckling over your awesomely dark stories and they've inspired us to add some exciting new changes to Sheltered. You’ll now be able ‘end the suffering’ of a catatonic character (yep, it’s exactly how it sounds…). And when you’ve got all those bodies and barely any food, what is there to do but a little bit of ‘harvesting’? Good job we’ve now changed it so that characters will also become desensitised after rampant cannibalism. Dig in!
New Features:
• Characters become desensitised to cannibalism after repeated harvesting of corpses.
• Characters can end the suffering of another catatonic character.
• Other family members can continue crafting objects that other character has started.
• Binoculars and Metal Detectors are now craftable.
• Rat Traps are now craftable.
