On the topic of "Adams Event" and Hitchhikers, I actually find these topics really entertaining from a literary angle. Cave-dwelling post-apoc isn't a type I've done. Does anyone know of any works themed around magnetic breakdown? I've quite liked the Red Rising series which I guess is similar? Bobiverse/Enders Game/Hell Divers etc? Recommendations welcome :)

Been a while since I read them, and I don’t think it was magnetic reversal, but Silo series involves prolonged life in underground silos. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silo_(series)

The Long Dark's backstory begins with a geomagnetic phenomenon, the rest is "regular" survival: https://store.steampowered.com/app/305620/The_Long_Dark/

Edit: oops, skipped a few words and my eyes focused on "game".

It’s driven by nuclear war, but check out Metro 2033 by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky. It takes place in the Moscow Metro where people live after a prolonged nuclear winter (with mutants). There is a subsequent video game series derived from the book.

Its a pubgworthy game (available for PUBG Mobile)

There's a Netflix series that's apparently based on a Polish sci-fi novel that has a similar thing, with daylight becoming deadly.

Seven Eves has a breakaway civilization that survives an apocalyptic event by moving underground, though it's not the focus of the story.
