Plot
Plot
It takes place in a post-apocalyptic post Soviet Union wasteland. In 1986 both the USSR and the Western Bloc were destroyed in mutual nuclear bombings. Nineteen years have passed and it's 2005. The protagonist is one of the survivors of the nuclear holocaust, an agent of ATOM. This remnant of a semi-legitimate military and scientific organization sent him out to explore in search of a special squad, which disappeared during the investigation of the mysterious bunker #317. The wastes are dangerous and filled with gangsters, mutants, stalkers, and other survivalists. There is a shadowy conspiracy, aimed at destroying all that is left of life on Earth. Upon locating Bunker #317, the player learns of the experiments conducted inside the bunker that slowly led to the deaths of the scientists inside. Further inside, the player discovers the bodies of several ATOM agents from Morozov's squad. Evidence suggests that there was a mutiny, leading to violence breaking out. The only other clue is a strange pendant necklace that belongs to members of a local cult.
