Story

On the 26th of April 1986, a disastrous catastrophe had taken place. Reactor unit 4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant had broken down, which led to the explosion, and radioactive contamination of the vast area.

At the beginning of February 1987 - 9 months after the disaster - a team of scientists from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology received signals that proved the existence of people operating in a previously evacuated area. Also, various, unexplained anomalies had been discovered.

It turned out that signals came from the S.W.A.N Institute located near the city of Prypiat. Its name comes from the abbreviation Syndrome Without A Name - the term given to the group of symptoms that do not occur in any known and cataloged disease. The facility was conducting research on never seen before and disturbing neurological-psychological medical conditions.
Scientists together with paramedics decide to venture inside the Institute to explore the place and rescue people that are probably still alive inside...

Wow. I'm surprised with how much I like this game. The varied horror elements along with unique puzzles kept me engaged whenever it felt like the story was dragging-on. By focusing less on horror in some areas, it allowed it to become more emphasised in others. The game has a healthy run time not feeling to short for the price. Definitely would recommend it to anyone who would consider playing this. Looking forward to what is in store for us down the line!

Oh wow. I actually didn't expect much because the reviews of this game were Mixed. However, I figured I'd give it a try anyway and oh, was I happy that I did. This is a game, I must say, that I really really enjoyed. There were some annoying parts but mostly it was just a really nicely made game that made you want to know more of the story and what is happening and what happened in the past. I can only recommend this game to anyone who'd like a bit of a different horror walking simulator experience. Positives: - Great storyline - Good voice acting - Lots of variety Negatives: - Game doesn't pause for reading notes, which in some situations means you either die reading the note or live not reading it - Some parts of the game are a little repeatative Here's a link to my full playthrough of the game, including face cam: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzh5mProu6DLL-jAR9lvCBE84eLP0H_dy

it's so good that I have yet to install it on my new PC - I was really looking forward to this game because of the concept, location, and my fascination with Pripyat, but it's meh at best - I'm stuck in some stupid dark room collecting something, and I have no want to progress further if this is how the game is.... after 80 minutes of gameplay, I have yet to see anything in the videos or pics on the game's store page except the intro I should have just gotten a refund, but I kept trying and went past the refund window (actually played a little, then forgot about it till it was to late) I'm sure at some point I will try it again (since I paid for it), but it's not on my "must do" list

Recommended Jul 11, 2022

An interesting concept, but execution leaves something to be desired. Get it on sale if you are a horror fan. Pros: - good atmosphere and location - interesting story concepts - some puzzles Cons: - a lot of repetition - story gets convoluted and hard to keep track of - shooting mechanics are pretty clunky - lack of polish

Not recommended Jan 26, 2022

Gets a bit clogged up with odd ideas. This would have been better as a more straightforward game.
