About the Game

What is Still Breathing

Still Breathing is a narrative-driven post-apocalyptic survival game where you lead the Martinez family through 30 harrowing days inside a residential bunker after a catastrophic event has devastated the world above.

As David, the father, you must manage dwindling resources, make impossible moral choices, and hold your family together while the world outside collapses. Strangers will knock at your door, the radio will deliver increasingly horrifying news, and every day will test your humanity.

Will your family still be breathing when the 30 days are over?

DAD&SON GAMES, 2026

Welcome to the Bunker

Survival
Narrative
Strategy

A catastrophe has struck. The nature of the disaster remains unclear, but the consequences are devastating. Riots, martial law, power grid failures, and reports of something far worse lurking outside. Your family has taken shelter in a residential bunker with limited supplies.

You have 30 days until potential rescue. Every day, you must decide how to ration food, water, medicine, and energy. Every night, you must decide who sleeps warm and who shivers in the dark. And when someone knocks on your bunker door... you must decide whether mercy or survival comes first.

5 RESOURCES TO MANAGE

Every day, five vital resources tick down. Run out of any one and the consequences can be fatal.

  • Food & Water
    Food & Water

    Rationing means choosing who eats. Contaminated water causes illness. Scarcity leads to malnutrition and desperation.

  • Energy & Temperature
    Energy & Temperature

    Power keeps the lights on and the heater running. Without it, darkness and hypothermia become deadly enemies.

  • Medicine
    Medicine

    Injuries and illness are inevitable. When supplies run low, you'll face the cruelest choice: who gets treated and who doesn't.

Resource Management

Scavenge the Ruins

When supplies run dangerously low, staying in the bunker is no longer an option. Send family members into the devastated world above to scavenge for food, medicine, and tools — but every expedition is a gamble with their lives.

Explore 15 unique locations, each with its own stories, side quests, and tragic decisions. A ransacked hospital hides a locked pharmacy — but someone else got there first. An abandoned school still has canned food in the cafeteria — but the noises coming from the basement suggest you're not alone.

Exploring a devastated location
Scavenging for supplies

Each location is a self-contained narrative experience. You'll uncover the stories of those who didn't make it, find clues about the true nature of the catastrophe, and face decisions that will haunt you long after you return to the bunker — if you return at all.

MUM, DID WE EAT OUR DOG?

Still Breathing doesn't give you good options. It gives you impossible ones.

A stranger begs you for water. Your daughter is watching. If you share, your family might not make it through the week. If you refuse, your daughter will never look at you the same way again. A wounded man collapses at your door — do you use your last antibiotics on him, or save them for your sick grandmother? There are no right answers, only consequences.

Every choice ripples through the family. Morale drops, relationships fracture, trust erodes. Your children will remember what you did. Your partner will question your judgment. And you'll have to live with it — all 30 days of it.

Fight or Show Mercy

The world above is not empty. Make too much noise while scavenging and you'll attract attention — from desperate survivors, from looters, from things that are harder to explain. Combat is brutal, fast, and terrifying.

But the hardest part comes after the fight. When your attacker lies at your feet, beaten and broken, you decide: do they live, or do they die?

Mercy has a cost. Let them go and they might come back with friends. But kill them, and your family will know. Your children will hear about it. The weight of taking a life doesn't just disappear — it follows you home, it sits at the dinner table, it poisons the air in the bunker. Family morale, relationships, and even future story paths shift based on the kind of person you choose to become.

Multiple Endings

Not everyone makes it to day 30. And even if they do, survival isn't the only measure of success.

Still Breathing features a multitude of different endings shaped by the decisions you've made, the relationships you've built or destroyed, and the moral lines you've crossed. Did you keep your humanity intact, or did you sacrifice it to keep your family alive? Did your family emerge stronger — or as strangers who can barely look at each other?

Some endings are hopeful. Some are devastating. All of them are earned.
