8 itemsAbout the Game
ATTENTION: This game is made by one person. There might be bugs and rough edges… it’s a passion project through and through. All characters and events are fictional. Any similarity to real people or events is purely coincidence.
The Zone wasn’t always here. Once, this was a place where people lived, worked… even relaxed. But after the catastrophe, it became something else entirely.
Now it’s a scar across the land… abandoned streets, silent forests, and twisted ruins filled with beings that shouldn’t exist. Deadly anomalies rip the air, strange lifeforms stalk the shadows, and armed patrols guard secrets they don’t want anyone to see.
You’re not here by choice. You’re here because someone you care about is lost inside… and you’ll do whatever it takes to find them. Every step deeper into the Zone is a gamble… every bullet matters… even a single bandage can be the difference between making it back and never coming out at all.
