April 26, 2019 marked the 33rd anniversary of the historic explosion of the Soviet Union's first nuclear reactor, Chernobyl. The devastation killed hundreds and the subsequent radiation released from the explosion affected hundreds of thousands of people's lives around the area. 

But what if you could stop this from ever happening? 

In Meltdown, you can play as an operator in Chernobyl on the night of the disaster. It's up to you to decide whether or not you will bend to the orders of your superiors. 

DISCLAIMER: This game is based loosely on the real events of the Chernobyl disaster. Some of the characters share the same names of the actual people involved, but there are some elements of the game which are completely fictitious.

I got 4 endings in total. I'm wondering if there's a fifth. Either way, this was a great narrative game!

This... seems..... paranormal....... I wanted a story to STOP the Chernobyl Disaster, not a story about how a reactor meltdown quickly is revealed as an Ethereal Person Containment Vessel! Hmmph. No support.

Hmmm well why not go write your own story! Like writing with this project as inspiration.
