Chernobyl Simulator puts you in the control room of the most infamous nuclear power plant in history. Step into the shoes of a reactor operator, where every switch, gauge, and decision matters. Experience the pressure, responsibility, and unforgiving complexity of Soviet-era nuclear operations.

Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 23 → 0.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Chernobyl Simulator puts you in the control room of the most infamous nuclear power plant in history. Step into the shoes of a Chernobyl reactor operator, where every switch, gauge, and decision matters. Experience the pressure, responsibility, and unforgiving complexity of Soviet-era nuclear operations.
You will manage the systems of Reactor 4—core, thermal output, water flow, turbine load, safety mechanisms, and more—while navigating authentic procedures based on real historical documentation. As the situation escalates, you must react quickly and precisely. One wrong move can set off a chain reaction that spirals out of control.
Authentic Nuclear Power Plant Simulation
Operate detailed and realistic reactor systems modeled after the RBMK-1000 design. Understand how each subsystem interacts and how your actions affect the reactor.
Dynamic Scenarios & Emergencies
Start with routine operations, then face unexpected complications—from minor fluctuations to catastrophic failures.
Historical Atmosphere
Immerse yourself in the iconic 1980s Soviet industrial environment with carefully recreated interiors, equipment, and documentation.
Learn How a Nuclear Reactor Works
Master complex engineering systems through interactive tutorials, guided procedures, and hands-on experimentation.
Multiple Endings
Will you maintain stable output? Cause a near miss? Or witness the plant push past the point of no return?
Chernobyl Simulator offers a tense, educational, and deeply engaging look into one of the world's most significant technological disasters. Can you keep the reactor stable—or will history repeat itself?
This simulation aims to replicate the real nuclear power plant operations in high detail so it can put a lot of load on new players and it requires patience. There is an online wiki page describing reactor operation at wiki.rikarin.io.

Пока игра довольно сырая, но уже не плохая. Возможно когда станет лучше возьму ее назад
Yeah, as a chernobyl guy... Absulute gem.. Even on my old pentium laptop it's running fine?!
It's pretty cool but the guide does not cover anything helpful, making it impossible to start, let alone keep the reactor running

Очень классная игра прям очень самый лучший симулятор ЧАЭС игра еще не до конца сделана но уже классно и есть что поделать графика классная физика и химия присутсвуют Игру рекомендую всем
Very nicely done, thus far it's the best game/sim of this exact kind, even though I can't say if physics are correct, the fact alone that developers are trying to aim for at least some level of physical accuracy is fantastic. The visuals of the control room are also very, very, VERY nicely done. Tooltips help a lot to understand the control room for people who don't read cyrylic well. I reallly hope to see this project being expanded upon in the future, as it has lot's of potential.
Пока реализован только пульт управления, но реализован превосходно. Если ещё доделают ГЦН и турбину, то это будет лучший симулятор реактора РБМК
Слушайте, ну даже сейчас, на ранних стадиях, данный симулятор реализован очень даже неплохо. Да, есть недочёты, как например безумно тёмный и в то же время блестящий ЦЗ, или скудное количество объяснений для тех, кто за пультом впервые. Да, FAQ на TAB'е даёт немного информации, но её столь мало, и она столь скудна, что приходится разбираться в управлении почти на ощупь. Но данным сараем "по кайфу" управлять нельзя, объяснения нужны. Почему, например, в задании "Достичь критичности" мы вынимаем стержни РР именно в определённом порядке и по одному, а не иначе. Или как правильно сбалансировать мощность по каналам АР так, чтобы они не улетали вверх, и вас не глушило УЗМ, или наоборот, вы не стояли прикованные ко дну. Также в тот же TAB можно добавить памятки о том как избежать тех или иных ошибок при наборе/сбросе мощности. Также следует чуть подтянуть оптимизацию: где-то после часа-двух дёрганья стержней, при изменении их положения комп начинает подвисать. Лечится выходом в меню и входом обратно в сессию. С кириллицей в названии сессии тоже беда. Резюмируя: симулятор получается неплохим, и определённо есть куда двигаться, и что делать.
Looks very promising on the surface, however there is a long way to go to make this truly enjoyable. While the core reactor mechanics are present and very well polished already; all non-reactor elements (water pumps, deaerators, steam drum, etc) are missing. We _do_ have preparations and some mnemonic displays are already there, so it looks very promising!). There are not a ton of details on the simulation quality and accuracy compared to other RMBK simulators out there. But the graphics and immersion are the best out of all of the simulators out there already. Giving strongly recommended, just because this looks really promising and I would love to see this game progress. It even works on Linux using GE-Proton-11 :). If the developer needs help proting this to Linux native proper, feel free to contact me.
Very realistic
Complicated, but incredibely instresting and well-made.
