Look Sports Media – Rebellion’s critically acclaimed Atomfall, a gripping post-apocalyptic survival title set in 1960s Northern England, has received a prestigious nomination for Best Game at the Develop: Star Awards 2025 in Brighton. This marks a significant milestone for the recently released title, launching its awards season campaign with a bang. The game, inspired by the real-life Windscale fire, plunges players into a challenging struggle for survival amidst a nuclear disaster’s aftermath, compelling them to unravel a complex narrative within a beautifully rendered, alternate history.
Joining Atomfall in the Best Game category are two other British development powerhouses: Coal Supper’s comedic "slapformer," Thank Goodness You’re Here!, and The Chinese Room’s psychological horror masterpiece, Still Wakes The Deep. The Develop: Star Awards, held during the Develop: Brighton gaming convention, celebrate the industry’s finest games and talent. The winners will be announced on Wednesday, July 9th, at the Brighton Dome.
Coal Supper’s Thank Goodness You’re Here! transports players to a quaint English town where a series of increasingly absurd situations demand their intervention. The game’s unique blend of slapstick comedy and charming British humor has already garnered widespread acclaim, including a Best British Game award at the British Academy Games Awards 2025.

The game’s slow-burn narrative and atmospheric tension have captivated audiences, solidifying The Chinese Room’s reputation for crafting immersive and emotionally resonant experiences.
The competition for Best Game is fierce, but Atomfall’s unique blend of historical context, survival gameplay, and compelling narrative makes it a strong contender. The outcome promises to be a thrilling climax to the Develop: Star Awards 2025. Will Atomfall claim the coveted title? Only time will tell.
