Mododels do not sit idle. Another modifier for “Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl” was released, in which there is a full storyline and many additional tasks. Also, as a pleasant bonus for researchers, an anomalous album has been prepared, in which there should be badges. These same badges will be collected by the protagonist.
Plot
The game develops in August 2008, when only one year has passed since the second explosion in Chernobyl. The zone was just beginning to revive, but the anomalies in it quickly spread. Groupings have not yet appeared on the territory of the Zone, and those who found themselves inside called themselves newcomers or scouts. The rank of the seekers depended on their experience and time spent in the Zone. At that time, the anomalous environment could boast of a small number of people: about 30-50 people, if you do not take into account the military at the border. Stalkers had just begun to appear, and no one had any idea about the mutants living there, deadly anomalies and other dangers.
The main character, nicknamed Zhekan, decides to go to the heart of the Zone and find the mysterious "Wishmaster", without having the experience of a stalker or a seeker. After he enters the Zone, the military is sent for him and Zhekan has no choice but to surrender. After being healed in the cell, the main character turns to the soldier and helps to escape from the checkpoint. However, there is no time to explore the territory, since within literally several minutes you need to hide, otherwise the main character will be killed by a sniper.
Innovations
