Plot
The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic post-Soviet wasteland in 2005, nineteen years after the USSR and Western Bloc were destroyed in mutual nuclear bombings in 1986. The protagonist, an agent of the remnant organization ATOM, is sent to find a special squad that disappeared while investigating bunker #317. The wastes are dangerous, filled with gangsters, mutants, stalkers, and survivalists, and a shadowy conspiracy aims to destroy all remaining life. Upon reaching Bunker #317, the player learns of deadly experiments inside and discovers the bodies of Morozov's squad, with evidence of a mutiny and a pendant necklace linked to a local cult.
