Plot
It takes place in a post-apocalyptic post Soviet Union wasteland. In 1986 both the USSR and the Western
Bloc were destroyed in mutual nuclear bombings. Nineteen years have passed and it's 2005. The
protagonist is one of the survivors of the nuclear holocaust, an agent of ATOM. This remnant of a semi-
legitimate military and scientific organization sent him out to explore in search of a special squad, which
disappeared during the investigation of the mysterious bunker #317. The wastes are dangerous and filled
with gangsters, mutants, stalkers, and other survivalists. There is a shadowy conspiracy, aimed at destroying
all that is left of life on Earth.
Upon locating Bunker #317 the player learns of the experiments conducted inside the bunker that slowly
led to the deaths of the scientists inside. Further inside the player discovers the bodies of several ATOM
agents from Morozov’s squad. Evidence suggests that there was a mutiny leading to violence breaking out.
The only other clue is a strange pendant necklace that belongs to members of a local cult.
