Atomic Heart is a first-person shooter video game developed and published by Mundfish and MyTona. Set in 1955 Soviet Russia with retrofuturistic art style, players control P-3 as a KGB agent who must investigate an ongoing top secret research facility which has gone haywire.
Adding to the game’s unsettling feel, no official controller layout has been published. But fear not – we’re here to help!
