US Steam price, checked 6 h ago
Atmospheric, photoscanned Chernobyl story game with base management and choices, but it recycles a few small maps and gets repetitive. Skip it if you want varied, deep gameplay.
Great for
Fans of Chernobyl/STALKER atmosphere who want a story-driven, choice-based base-management game on sale
Main risk
Repetitive loop across the same few small maps gets boring well before the game ends

Recent negatives cite an unfixed item-deleting bug, crashes on launch, broken saves and a tiresome story. Reason is only partly clear.
