Now, 30 years have passed, and John's mother dies of old age, leaving him all alone. A few days later, a technical malfunction occurs in the bunkers computer system, forcing John to venture into the deeper parts of the bunker for repairs, something he's terrified of. As the player explores the bunker, they're given hints at what truly befell the inhabitants...

Added DiffLines:

* BornAfterTheEnd: Main character John Edmunds is born in the eponymous government bunker at the very moment nuclear missiles begin to detonate across the United Kingdom. With the world outside too irradiated for anyone to leave, he spent his entire childhood knowing nothing but the world inside the bunker. For good measure, he was the only child in the facility and only tolerated because his mother was one of only two doctors in the entire bunker, so he had no friends apart from the improvised toys he was given. As an adult, John suffers from [[CreatureOfHabit an obsession with rules and routine]] due to his upbringing and will follow all instructions to the letter -- even warning the rest of the bunker via the Tannoy when he has to turn off main power ''[[EverybodysDeadDave despite being the only resident left alive]].''

* FleeingForTheFalloutShelter:
** The game kicks off with one of these already in progress, with various official personnel hurrying into the eponymous government fallout shelter well ahead of a nuclear attack on the United Kingdom. However, one of the medical staff is in labor and [[HospitalGurneyScene has to be wheeled straight from the entrance to the bunker's infirmary]], where she gives birth to main character John Edmunds at almost the exact moment that the bombs detonate.
** Thirty years later, John can find a report from [[TheElitesJumpShip the Prime Minister's Wiltshire bunker]], stating that they experienced similar frantic rushes for the facility, with the PM arriving safely ahead of the blast, while most of the domestic staff were killed before they could reach the shelter. The same report also mentions that a group of fifty civilians fled for the bunker and tried to break in during the final minutes prior to the attack. They didn't succeed and the report indicates that the group was killed in the blast.
** Inverted during the finale; [[spoiler: after suffering a FalloutShelterFail due to years of strain on the bunker's internal systems, John has to escape ''from'' the bunker before he dies of radiation exposure.]]
