''The Bunker'' is a PointAndClickGame by Splendy Interactive, which is set AfterTheEnd in a government bunker after a nuclear war. John (Adam Brown), The Protagonist, was born there shortly before the nukes fell, and has lived his entire life in the bunker with only his mother for company after a mysterious plague killed off everyone else. 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...

** [[spoiler:In a flashback, the Commissioner corners Margaret and John after everyone else if killed. He then begins strangling Margaret. If John does not help her by shooting the Commissioner, the game ends there because Margaret has to survive in order for the events in the present to unfold.]]

** [[spoiler: "It's been 16 months since our last contact with another shelter"]]

* DisappearedDad: John's father is never mentioned
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The missing Lindane bottles in one of the flashback, [[spoiler: Johns mother has used it to create a poison]].

* GeneralRipper: The Commissioner in charge of the bunker is set up as this. [[spoiler: Turns out he's not the villain at all, just kind of a jerk]]

* KillEmAll: [[spoiler: Magaret, John's mother, was the one who poisoned the entire bunker.]]

* MummiesAtTheDinnerTable: John insists on continuing to read to his mother, despite her being quite obviously dead and in an advanced state of decay. It's not because he's under the impression that she's still alive, though: rather, John's just so fixated on routine, he doesn't have any idea what else to do with her.

** "How long until we can go topside?" [[spoiler: "20-30 years"]]

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: John has been repressing his memory of assisting his mother in killing the other shelter inhabitants and personally shooting the Commissioner to save his mother. When he's forced to return to Level 5 to escape the bunker decades later, he has a minor breakdown when he's forced to relive the trauma]]

* TheReveal: [[spoiler: The inhabitants of the shelter were all killed by Magaret, John's mother, who had John place a jar of toxic fluid near the ventilation pump, killing everyone except her, John and The Commissioner, who tried to kill them in revenge, only to be shot by John]]
* RoomFullOfZombies: [[spoiler: Played with. When John is forced to return to Level 5 to escape the bunker, he has to retrieve the key from the corpse of the Commissioner. His, and everyone elses bodies are stored inside a freezer, and John has a hallucination of all the dead rising up and accusing him of killing them. Which he technically did.]]
* ThePlague: An unknown plague begins affecting the survivors in the bunker about a decade after the war. The symptoms are similar to radiation poisoning but there is no contamination in the air or water supply, and the doctors dont have enough equipment to study it more thoroughly. [[spoiler: Its not a plague at all, John's mother has been poisoning the affected as a test run for killing everyone off]]

* PressXToNotDie: [[spoiler: Your final action in the game if you choose to leave the bunker [[BookEnds is to take your very first breath]] of non-filtered air in your entire life. The game then cuts to black]]

* UnreliableNarrator: [[spoiler: John. The early flashbacks we see are very misleading, hinting at a man in a gas mask killing the bunkers inhabitants. It was actually John and his mother]]

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: The shelter had been cobbled together in six weeks, and didnt have nearly enough supplies to outlast the effects of a nuclear war. Had it not been for the massive deaths, the remaining food would only have lasted little over a year by the time John reached late childhood. Judging by the reports of the other shelters, which all failed within 6 years of the war, this was a problem everywhere else too.

* RagnarokProofing: Averted, most of the other goverment bunkers failed quickly, either due to mechanical failure or lack of resources. John's bunker held out, mostly because [[spoiler: the deaths of almost everyone inside, signifigantly reducing the stress on the systems]]. However, soon after John's mother dies, the bunker begins to leak radiation...
