Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl

Brand New Retail Box

In 1986 the world shook with the force of the largest nuclear accident ever. Twenty years later the repercussions are only just beginning. New life breathes new terror into an environment of rear and an invisible enemy reveals the truce face of violence. Welcome to a world of mutation and monstrosity where no man's land becomes one man's land.

Year 2012. Six years passed since the time of the Second catastrophe to have made the April events of 1986 fade. The game is set in the Chernobyl exclusion zone which turned from a destiny-breaker place into a threat to all mankind. The Zone is reluctant to open up its mysteries and needs to be forced to do it. It is a rare hero who can reach the very heart of the Zone onto find out what danger awaits him there.

A danger which, compared to marauders and enemy groupings, all monsters and anomalies, will seem a mere preparation to the meeting with something more fatal and threatening. But for now… get ready, hero. Collect artefacts and trade, grope your path and keep an eye on the rear, catch roentgens and fight – only make sure you survive! And then, perhaps, if you are persistent and truly lucky, you will find out why all this had fallen on you.
