Critically acclaimed indie thriller The Bunker comes to iOS

27 April 2017

All 4 Games in partnership with the Splendy Games team announce today the launch of their live action experience game on iOS. “The Bunker” is an award-winning psychological horror which is available now on the Apple App Store.

The Bunker is the first interactive movie produced by All 4 Games. Combining the world of film and game is an exciting concept and the team is thrilled to bring the groundbreaking game to the iOS market.

John is the last remaining survivor in a nuclear bunker and his daily routine is the one thing that keeps him sane. But when an alarm goes off, his mind starts to self-destruct. Players venture into long forgotten areas with John, recovering repressed childhood memories and ultimately unlocking the dark secrets of The Bunker.

The Bunker was filmed in a decommissioned Government Bunker in Essex, with a plot crafted by writers behind The Witcher and Broken Sword. The live-action experience features an incredible cast including Adam Brown (The Hobbit), Sarah Greene (Penny Dreadful) and Grahame Fox (Game of Thrones).

Creative Director of Splendy Games, Allan Plenderleith, said “The Bunker gives players a unique experience, a movie you play as a game. Being a game, you are drawn into the story even more as you realise your decisions can have life or death consequences for John.”

Star Adam Brown stated “It was such an incredible experience filming The Bunker - the nuclear bunker itself was terrifying. There was absolutely no green screen and they had me crawling through all sorts of horrible dark tunnels - I didn’t have to do much acting to look scared!”

Colin Macdonald, Head of All 4 Games, commented, “The Bunker is finely crafted psychological thriller wrapped up in a lovely gaming experience. The team at Splendy has done a fantastic job creating an experience that blurs the lines between film and game. It really innovates around what mobile game players have become accustomed to.”
