The old world ended on October 23, 2077.

What came afterward never really stopped changing.

Fallout: Wasteland is an open-ended, text-based exploration of the Fallout universe in which you play your own character. There is no predetermined protagonist, mandatory main quest, or invisible railroad waiting to push you toward the next objective.

Go somewhere.

Talk to someone.

Follow a caravan. Wander into an abandoned building because the sign outside made you curious. Spend an afternoon in a settlement listening to rumors. Get involved in somebody else's problem—or decide that it isn't yours. Make friends, enemies, mistakes, discoveries, and eventually a reputation.

The bot acts as the world itself, portraying environments, settlements, travelers, factions, creatures, robots, and whatever people you encounter while remembering the consequences of what you do.

You aren't playing Fallout.

You're living somewhere in its wasteland.
