The Zone catches you with its anomalies in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl
Hello welcome to the channel today we play S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (titled S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chornobyl on consoles and simply S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in Ukraine and CIS countries) is a first-person shooter survival horror video game developed by GSC Game World and published by THQ in 2007 following a long development. It is the first game in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. franchise, set in an alternate reality where a second disaster of mysterious origin occurred at the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, which further contaminated the surrounding area with radiation, and caused strange otherworldly changes in local fauna, flora, and the laws of physics. The background and some of the terminology of the game are borrowed from the 1971 novella Roadside Picnic and its 1979 film adaptation Stalker.
The game features a non-linear storyline with 7 different endings and includes role-playing gameplay elements such as trading and two-way communication with non-player characters. In the game, the player assumes the identity of the Marked One, an amnesiac man trying to find and kill the mysterious Strelok within the Zone, a forbidden territory surrounding the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
The game was met with acclaim, with praise for the atmosphere, style and depth, as well as the level design, but was criticized for numerous bugs. It was also a commercial success, selling over 2 million copies by September of 2008. A prequel, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, was released in 2008. A sequel, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, followed in 2010. A second sequel, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, was released in 2024. There are also multiple fan remakes trying to restore the cut content from the original version of the game.
A bit of retrogaming, sit back and enjoy.

Setting
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. takes place in an area called the Zone. The Zone is based on the real-life Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and is also inspired by fictional works: Boris and Arkady Strugatsky's science fiction novella Roadside Picnic (1972) which was loosely adapted into Andrei Tarkovsky's film Stalker (1979), as well as the film's subsequent novelization by the Strugatsky brothers.
Plot
Shadow of Chernobyl offers 7 different endings based on the player's actions. The ending below is considered canon in the series.
The game opens with lightning striking a vehicle, causing it to crash. The unnamed protagonist is the sole survivor, and regains consciousness in the bunker of a local black marketer named Sidorovich. He is suffering from amnesia, and has only two clues to his identity. The first is a tattoo of the acronym "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." on his arm and the second is a PDA with the entry "Kill Strelok". Sidorovich nicknames the protagonist the "Marked One". The Marked One performs several tasks for Sidorovich as payment for saving his life. Through these missions and new contacts, the player discovers clues to Strelok's possible location. These bring the Marked One deeper into the Zone and provide more details about Strelok and his companions.
To progress further into the Zone, the player must disable a psionic device known as the Miracle Machine. The machine emits frequencies which cause those within its range to lose their minds, becoming zombies. While disabling the device, the Marked One finds a clue that leads to Doc, a member of Strelok's team. A trap injures the player, who is then rescued by Doc. He tells the Marked One about a monolithic artifact known as the Wish Granter, located at the center of the Zone. This artifact is sought after by most of the Zone's denizens and is guarded by a cult-like paramilitary group called Monolith. Doc also implies that the Marked One is in fact Strelok, before departing.
The Marked One eventually identifies the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (CNPP) in Pripyat as the location of the Wish Granter. A more powerful version of the Miracle Machine, known as the Brain Scorcher, blocks the path to the city. Once the device is disabled, the player can travel freely around Pripyat and enter the CNPP itself. However, several militant factions in the Zone, as well as the Security Service of Ukraine, take advantage of this event to enter Pripyat as well and battle for control of the city. The Marked One must fight his way through Monolith cultists and Ukrainian soldiers to reach the CNPP.
