Despite these dangers, the Zone is home to artifacts of extraordinary value, drawing individuals known as S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s. These adventurers enter at their peril, seeking fortune or the elusive Truth hidden within the Heart of Chornobyl. Step into the shoes of a solitary stalker and navigate a photorealistic, seamless open world spanning 64 square kilometers of radioactive terrain.
