A significant portion of the world's surface is covered by anomalous zones dangerous even to Chemists. These areas feature paranormal phenomena absent from the normal world. You can also find special items here - Artifacts. Artifacts possess unique effects that can provide advantages in various gameplay aspects as well as negative consequences for your character.

You'll fight both for resources against bandits and mercenaries and for your life against monsters and mutants using various combat methods. Different weapons will let you properly assess your strength against different enemy types.
Unique factions await you, with bases located across different areas. Bases enable full interaction with faction representatives to gain special privileges in the form of unique weapons or gear.
