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 2,402 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.

Simulador fiel a la sala de control de chernobyl , aun en desarrollo por lo que faltan cosas
In it's current state, the simulation is broken, if you follow the tutorial step-by-step. Very soon the reaction will run out of bounds.(while increasing power in the "low range") When started the "running at full power" scenario and powering-down the reactor, there is no way to re-power it. This cannot be a Xenon-pit thing, since you can raise all (I mean ALL) rods, and the simulation doesn't care. That this should "work like a charme"( even with plenty of Xenon), proved us the CCCP in 1986 in all its glory. The documenation(wiki) is missing important parts, and the undocumented YT-video provided by the developer, does not help at all. So in it's current state, save your money and get the free RBMK-1500 simulator from github. Fair warning., communication wise, most stuff seems to be happening on Discord(TM) (allmost) only.

thought i saw graphite but the deputy chief engineer insists i didnt so what do i know
velice realisticka
best reactor sim ive ever played
Very awesome! Would recommend for anyone with interest in nuclear operations or Chernobyl. Rikarin Studio has done a great job. You can clearly tell the studio puts effort in and cares about their game. Always coming out with great updates. Love it, thank you for this awesome game!
optisch ganz gut aber zu schwer es müsste ein farnünftiges Tutorial geben. ich würde es er nicht änfelen
私は原子力が好きです 原子炉は黒鉛減速軽水圧力管型原子炉が好きです
Za mě strašně zajímavá hra a ještě zajímavější nápad který má potenciál, ale je vidět se vývoj má ještě dlouhou cestu, což je v pořádku. Nečekejte hru kterou si zahrajete když máte 20 minut volného času ale hru u které jeden krok může trvat právě těch 20 minut. Osobně bych víc vylepšil příručku aby lépe popisovala různé tlačítka a ne jen principy reaktivity adt... protože jsem se i během tutoriálu párkrát chytil ze nevím/ nechápu co po mě hra vlastně pořádně chce a jak docílit toho co po mě hra chce. Uvítal bych ještě kdyby se postupně doplnili zbývající dva pulty s ovládáním strojovny adt a kdyby se i přidala možnost hrát v coopu. Jeden člověk by pak mohl třeba ovládat reaktor a druhý právě třeba vize zmíněné turbíny a podobně.
