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.

Очень интересная игра,с нетерпением жду обновление!
I actually am very happy that such a game is made, loved the graphics and sounds, hoping this game would get much much better in the future...
It's pretty cool but the guide does not cover anything helpful, making it impossible to start, let alone keep the reactor running
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 good game!
I really like the concept and how it is implemented. The simulator has strong potential, and I’m really looking forward to its development. I’m slightly worried about the difficulty, but the hint system is very well done (highlighted controls and explanations). It might be a good idea to add something like an "autopilot" mode, which the user could turn on and off. If something goes wrong, it could automatically restore the reactor to a safe state or even run full procedures step by step while showing and explaining what it’s doing. This kind of feature could also be useful later, especially if there is ever a possibility to explore nearby rooms. I also think it would be interesting to include "missions", where you adjust power, respond to alarms, and handle specific situations.
