SteamEnter Likhovo, a small town at the heart of the Slavic Federation. Following the outbreak of an alien pathogen, this place became the epicenter of a spreading infection. Forests crawling with mutants, roads blocked by bandits, and stalkers watching your every move — these are just a few of the dangers this region has to offer. Join the Alliance and a handful of other survivors in a desperate struggle to stay alive in this unforgiving post-apocalyptic world.

Bullets hit hard, and mistakes linger. You’ll need to set broken bones, stop the bleeding, and deal with infections — or things get worse fast. Enemies don’t wait around either: they move in groups, talk to each other, hear your footsteps, and know when to fall back.

Explore a decaying landscape twisted by alien contamination. Mutants roam the wilderness, hostile survivors hunt the weak, and every encounter can be your last. Complete missions, survive the wild, and uncover the buried secrets of Likhovo.

Modify your weapons and armor to suit your playstyle. From suppressors to precision scopes and reinforced plating, every item can be tailored for stealth, speed, or raw power. Tinker with attachments, swap parts, and build a loadout that gives you the edge in every fight.

Join the struggling Alliance, desperate to bring order back to the region — or embrace the chaos with the fanatical Sectarians. Deal with ruthless bandit gangs or earn the respect of lone Stalkers who live by their own rules. Build your reputation through actions, unlock unique gear and be prepared for consequences.

Likhovo hides many treasures — some are hidden, some are guarded. Master the inventory management and loot evaluation. Each item has its own value for survival! But hurry, you are not the only one who wants to take the riches of the Zone...

Meet memorable NPCs, trade hard-earned resources, and take on missions from those clinging to what's left. Scavenge the ruins for materials to upgrade your own shelter, unlock new crafting stations, and build what you need to survive in this unforgiving world. Your base is where plans are made, gear is prepared, and the next day’s survival begins.
