A tense, atmospheric survival horror game where you cautiously explore a dangerous open world, scavenging and stealthily avoiding threats.

What players say
Players compare it to Stalker but are split on the experience. Many dislike the repetitive fetch quests and dark environments with a weak flashlight, while others enjoy the grind and found the ending satisfying. The game is criticized for bugs and since 2026 reviewers warn that buying it funds Russian aggression.
