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

The Death March is the nightmarish path that winds from the corrupted depths of the Red Forest to the desolate, haunted city of Pripyat. This cursed road is barely more than a series of broken asphalt fragments, tangled roots, and mud-choked passages—its presence half-consumed by the wild, hostile terrain. Emerging from the crimson shadows of the Red Forest, the air is heavy with the sickening odor of decay and radiation. The sky seems perpetually grey here, casting everything in a bleak, lifeless hue. Twisted, gnarled trees line the path like skeletal sentinels, their branches swaying with a maddening, unnatural rhythm. The Death March is littered with deadly anomalies—boiling heat anomalies that sear flesh to the bone, magnetic vortexes that crush anything metallic, and creeping gas clouds that dissolve skin like acid. It’s not uncommon to find charred skeletons and half-melted equipment scattered along the road, silent warnings to those foolish enough to attempt the crossing.
