How Roadside Picnic inspired a generation of game developers
626The Zone is an original documentary that analyses how a Soviet novel written during the Cold War subsequently influenced a generation of game developers.
Photography Gamer takes us on a journey through time demonstrating the links between Roadside Picnic, the film it inspired and a variety of games that followed.
Further to that, the documentary also touches on why the themes of the novel were so poignant to the Cold War era in the Soviet Union.
