Stalker Starts in Chernobyl Exclusion Zone

In 2006, a second explosion occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and deadly radiation dust once again enveloped the sky in this restricted area. But what is more terrifying than the radiation are the strange phenomena that have emerged in the "Special Zone" since then: "abnormal points" with distorted gravity, "brain burners" that can burn out human brains, and hostile mutant creatures. In order to survive and explore, a group of people called "Stalkers" sneaked into this land of death. This is a hunt against death. The hunters may be giant rats and blind dogs mutated by radiation that dwell in the shadows, or they may be hostile gangs of robbers, or even deadly high doses of radioactive dust lurking in every inch of grass. They traded information around campfires, washed their wounds with vodka, and took shelter from radiation storms in abandoned schools. The legend about the "Wishing Stone" in the core area confuses everyone like a ghost - it is said that people who arrive there can realize their deepest desires, but no one has ever been able to prove that they are still a conscious living person after going there.
