What is the background story of the game?
The background story for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is built as a hypothesis of real events to have taken place in the 1980’s. Back in Chernobyl there functioned an immense antenna, which, as acknowledged by many specialists, radiated psychoactive waves. On some of our photos, taken during the trips to Chernobyl the body of the antenna can be vividly seen on the horizon. According to the unverified rumours, the emission was directed onto Western Europe – as a part of a long-term military experiment on psychotropic influence on humans. Those are semi-documentary facts and rumours. The storyline of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is built around similar experiments, propped by conspiracy theory and opposition of special services. With our game we as if think up what could happen in reality. This is a story of post-nuclear world with its own laws and characters.
