Imagine you're on your morning commute in the Moscow metro system when a nuclear blast goes off. The world as you know it is over, but, lucky for you, you are in a part of the subway system that doubles as a nuclear bunker. How will you live? What will life be like as you try to persist underground? What will happen to the world above, and will you ever see it again?

Unlike Fallout, where a great deal of the game takes place on the ravaged surface, Metro 2033 puts you in the shoes of a survivor whose life and missions will take place mostly underground.
