All you remember was a car crash and somebody carrying you from the forest up to a small village. As you come to your senses you are being held on a table by two men. One of them takes a small device out of your pocket and starts writing something on it while the other is looking for some bandages. You grab the device from the man's hand but soon after fall asleep once more. After some time you wake up again and are now on the side of a road. Without knowing what happened you try and get up but instead roll on the ground. Suddenly, you bump into something, and when looking up it is a sign: "40 km ahead : Pripyat". Realising that this is in fact not just a forest, but the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, you once again try to crawl away, but see a shadow reassembling a dog. It starts running towards you and then you once again black out. This time, when you wake up there's a man in front of you, the man that took your device once and hear a voice: "On your feet! I patched you up, you won't have trouble standing."
Take part in an adventure through the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone while trying to find explanations but also looking for a man, Sterlock. Find or build shelters for the night, when the danger is everywhere, and explore during the day. Venture into villages, factories, outposts and fallen cities that have fallen prey to one of the most destructive nuclear disasters in the world.
From now on, you will be a stalker, someone hoping to find either death or fortune in these ruins, but know that as a stalker you will have many friends, but also enemies. Good luck, stalker!
