S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Zone of the Chernobyl

Ah, the Dark Valley—a delightful pit of misery and despair tucked away in the Zone. Imagine a desolate, shadow-choked landscape, perpetually cloaked in depressing gloom. Its rotting industrial ruins and decaying factories stand as beautiful monuments to humanity’s spectacular failures, slowly consumed by toxic fog and searing radiation. Here, bandits thrive like maggots on a fresh corpse, preying on helpless rookies foolish enough to wander into their territory. Every abandoned building whispers betrayal, and the air is thick with the stench of blood, gunpowder, and wasted dreams. The mutants, warped monstrosities born from nightmares, eagerly hunt down those who dare trespass, gleefully tearing apart the unwary. To enter the Dark Valley is to embrace hopelessness—to test just how much agony a stalker can endure before finally succumbing to madness or a merciful death.
