About this game

After Shock is a graphic text adventure set after a devastating earthquake strikes a city. Although experts expected a minor tremor, the destruction is severe, and the nearby nuclear power plant’s cooling system requires urgent repairs.

As the system’s designer, you must travel from your office through the damaged streets and enter the plant to restore the cooling system. The game combines location illustrations and descriptive text, with keyboard commands used to interact with the environment.
