About

First-person shooter set in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, six years after a fictional second disaster in 2012. You're a lone stalker navigating irradiated wasteland, scavenging artifacts to sell while managing radiation exposure and ammunition. The Zone contains hostile factions, mutated creatures, and spatial anomalies that kill on contact. Combat is lethal—a few bullets drop you or your enemies. You'll need to balance exploration against survival needs: food, medical supplies, weapon maintenance. The story centers on uncovering what caused the second catastrophe and why you're connected to it. Expect tense firefights, resource scarcity, and atmosphere-heavy exploration where the environment itself is the primary threat. Suits players comfortable with unforgiving difficulty and minimal hand-holding.
