Released two years before Fukushima, but possibly the most Fukushima-core game ever made???
pre-3/11, thematically resonant
post-3/11 release but pre-3/11 development so hmm
Escha and Logy/Shallie move in the direction of cli-fi rather than Fukushima fiction, but this is a trend you see in Japanese cinema and junbungku literature after the initial wave of 3/11 responses too.
Not wholly a work of Fukushima fiction but I think the depiction of the reactor bombings but especially the aftermath of the Sector 7 plate drop is influenced by 3/11.
