About the Game

O.T.B.R.O.S.: Haze of Kazantip is a post-metamodern first-person shooter inspired by S.T.A.L.K.E.R. mods such as OLR 3.0, Anomaly, and Lost Alpha. The action unfolds in an alternate version of Crimea, transformed into the Exclusion Zone after a technogenic catastrophe in 2032.

Key features:

  • Atmospheric Absurdism: Explore the post-apocalyptic ruins of Crimea. The setting blends harsh reality with deep social satire on the post-Soviet space, featuring black humor in the style of Tarantino and post-irony toward the stalker-like genre.

  • Living, Open World: Enjoy complete freedom in non-linear gameplay and an open world where your actions have consequences. Your protagonist isn't a hero, but a "random loser" just trying to survive in a world that's devolved into an anarcho-capitalist dystopia.

  • Hardcore Survival Mechanics: In addition to classic parameters (hunger, sleep, radiation), you'll face new debuffs like *Hemorrhoids (from poor nutrition) and Dopamine Addict (from excessive artifact farming). Innovative Anomaly System: Collect anomalies (such as Starlet or Bead) into jars using a vacuum cleaner and use them in combat as grenades, traps, or crafting resources.

  • Realistic Combat and Physics: Experience the brutal reality of shootouts with realistic ballistics, a detailed damage system, and Reflection Physics (our analog to Euphoria Physics on the Nuclear Engine) for lifelike falls and NPC reactions to hits.
