    Atomfall is a proper British detective mystery with Fallout: New Vegas vibes

    Rebellion's latest has you investigating an alt-history nuclear apocalypse

    Like limited-time public demos, media hands-on preview builds often feature handy text boxes that flash on the screen to inform the player that only a few minutes remain. During my half-hour with Atomfall at Gamescom, one appeared while I was chatting with the flat-capped landlord of a painstakingly British pub. Alf Buckshaw of the Grendel's Head had done well to frame the world beyond his grimy windows, waxing about the post-government military quarantines and Droog-like bandit gangs that have cropped up in the wake of Rebellion's fictionalized exaggeration of a real 20th-century nuclear disaster. But time was of the essence, so I brandished a cricket bat and started lamping the poor bloke in the head. To my surprise, he was up for a scrap, even in his old age.

    Playing a choice-driven RPG with a built-in time limit can force you to do some strange and ethically murky things. And I don't typically do so with an in-person audience, so it was hard not to worry about the judgment being passed over my shoulder by Rebellion's head of design, Ben Fisher. After I was gunned down by a tipsy soldier for my crimes against the elderly, I stood up for a quick chat about this inimitable Cumbrian STALKER-like.
