Guides
Browse the available guides for Afterfall.
Clothing, bags and laundry
Keep your clothes intact and your pack light enough to move. Protection, warmth, wetness and carrying space each need attention.
Combat, firearms and noise
A fight costs more than ammunition. Keep stamina in reserve, maintain your weapons and remember how far the noise can travel.
Communities, claims, jobs and trade
You do not have to rebuild alone. Talk to the survivors you meet, learn what they need and check the work they offer before spending your supplies.
Death, corpse sickness and recovery
Your next survivor can recover the belongings left behind. Open the Deaths page before setting out: the body may have moved.
Farming, seasons and camping
A sheltered bed and a planted crop are only the start. Watch the season, temperature and water before counting on a harvest.
Safe food and water
Make clean water and dependable food your first reserves. A full bottle or a stocked refrigerator is useful only if its contents are safe.
Your first session in Afterfall
Search your starter house, secure clean water and food, and learn how to treat a wound before your first long outing.
Health and treatment
Stop and inspect a wound before choosing supplies. The Health panel tells you where the injury is and which treatment can help.
Skin hygiene and cleaning
Clean the right thing: washing your skin, laundering clothes and rinsing a sponge are separate jobs.
Radio towers, tuners and music
A radio is only as useful as the signal and power reaching it. Build coverage, keep the transmitter supplied and check the receiver too.
Restarting the reactor — spoilers
Repair and fuel the plant, maintain cooling and carry its output through transformers to a building panel.
Contains story spoilersScavenging and protected entry
Search with a purpose and leave yourself a way out. The room, container and lock all matter to what you can reach.
Afterfall reading guide
Choose a first-session route or jump to survival systems, restoration projects and release references.
Stations and crafting
Bring the right supplies to the right bench. Check the recipe’s skills, power and output before you start a job.
Survivor creation
Choose the skills, supplies and traits you will bring into Afterfall, and keep your survivor within the 16-point starting budget.
Power, panels and water utilities
Prepare for the day the mains go dark. A maintained generator, battery or solar supply can keep essential appliances working.
Vehicles, restoration and passengers
A roadside wreck can become your way home. Inspect its missing parts, fuel and battery before trying to start it.
