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.

Very good game!
Very Nice
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...

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.
одна из самых детализированных игр как визуально так и в плане физики самого реактора которую я видел, ПЛЮС очень проработанные панели СИУРа ВИУРа и СИУТа, достойная реализация аварийных систем, систем автоматического регулирования ( локального тоже) единственный минус очень долго приходится ждать выход патчей и обновлений, а также то что кроме БЩУ больше ничего нет никаких помещений
Очень интересная игра,с нетерпением жду обновление!
아니 50MWh만 올리겠다니까
не показывает мощность реактора
烧个水都不会烧,你还能干嘛? nm我没烧完
Rikarin Studio THIS IS URGENT!!!! im making a movie about chernobyl and i wanted to ask if i can use the game as some of the backgrounds. Its only the environment. The game is really good but when i enter now half of the room is gone an d if i turn its back. but all tha gauges are gone untill i zoom in but later it still dissapears. this is a new bug. please awnser as fast as you can. Thanks!
