We need more horror games set in billionaire apocalypse bunkers
Billionaires may not be natural storytellers, but their drive to secure a legacy pushes them into fantasy. Luxury apocalypse bunkers—lavish, overbuilt refuges—are ideal, underused settings for horror games.
Billionaires rarely make compelling fabulists—they have people for that—but their obsession with securing a legacy pulls them into make-believe. Luxury apocalypse bunkers are one clear expression of that impulse: curated, over-engineered refuges designed to replicate a particular life even after the world ends. Those spaces read like stage sets, combining opulence and isolation in a way that’s inherently unsettling. They’re perfect settings for horror games, offering aesthetics of artificial comfort, claustrophobic architecture and the psychological strain of preserved privilege. We need more games that explore what happens inside these fortified, gilded enclaves rather than outside them.
