Abandoned bunker spelunkerParadise Lostsends you down underground in an alternate history 1980. The Nazis dropped nuclear bombs across Europe at the end of World War 2, leaving behind no winners and an apocalyptic wasteland. This narrative exploration game follows a young boy named Szymon down into an old bunker that looks like a bunch of old warheads and computers until he uncovers the hidden city packed with Slavic mythology beneath it. Paradise Lost has just launched today so you can venture down below right now.

The new launch trailer here doesn’t reveal much of the hidden city bit, unfortunately, but you can peek it up top there.

It’s a huge contrast from the wasteland up above and the industrial tech of the bunker itself. The retro-future tech mixed with water-y world beneath has shades ofBioShockin it as well.
