Chernobylite: Forget The Underpants Jokes, You'll Be Needing Some Spares
The safest way to explore Chernobyl when searching for your missing fiancee after 30 years have passed. Sci-fi horror RPG Chernobylite out next month.
Chernobyl’s garnering attention again with Logan Paul wannabee’s spending the maximum number of hours there before their hair falls out. It’s all about the views… Still, save yourself the hassle and bottlenecks at the airport and bookmark Chernobylite.
Developed by The Farm 51 and published by All in! Games, this sci-fi survival, with some horror RPG thrown in, comes to the PC (Steam, GOG and Epic Games Store) next month with the consoles to follow in the summer.
As Igor, a physicist and ex-employee of the Chernobyl Power Plant, you return to the exclusion zone to investigate what happened to his fiancee over 30 years ago. But this adventure isn’t as ‘safe’ as those YouTubers make out.
With a solid military presence and stalkers – not BTS types, but ‘supernatural creatures’ watching your every step, you have to wonder whether it’s worth it? Still, that’s the point of Chernobylite, and boy does this look good.
Features!
- Stealth, Survival, & Combat – Survival in the Zone is not easy, and each day brings new challenges as your comrades die and supplies diminish. Avoid detection with stealth takedowns or engage in open armed combat. Danger lurks around every corner.
- Base Building & Crafting – Construct a base from which to plan your daily operations and excursions. Utilize workstations to craft gadgets, traps, and weapons, or modify existing equipment to your needs.
