A news report speaks of a nuclear disaster that happened 30 years ago which has caused a group of tourists to visit the site as the levels of radiation have started to decrease. The rst group have mysteriously gone missing after expecting to return a week ago. Images of the abandoned area are shown during the report revealing how vacant and withdrawn the area is. After the broadcast, the screen fades into darkness with panting and heavy breathing, fading back into a rst person view. The character is running, scanning the environment and calling out to see if anyone is near. As he continues to explore, he stops to use his radio for assistance as his team have gone missing. Whilst speaking he notices something move quickly out of the corner of his eye, along with scuffling of cans. He calls out again to see if anyone is there and takes a step forward but hears the same noise behind him and follows it into the school. He steps into the room which is a pitch black so he uses his ash light. Whilst scanning the cluttered room he reaches the far corner and discovers a mutant. The mutant leaps forward towards the officer and the screen cuts to black. This is where the gameplay would begin. Backstory of Game A Military officer and his team is sent to Kurchatov to look for survivors of an extreme tourist exhibition. Whilst on their mission, the group is separated. Unknown to the public and the team, some people stayed during the evacuation period. The excessive amounts of radiation affected their body but also the brain.
