Saga S.T.A.L.K.E.R. #HG

Call of The Zone is a standalone modification for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. – Call of Pripyat that allows you to explore the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone – a desolate and highly contaminated region of Ukraine that has been abandoned and closed off for decades ever since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. What has been going on in this irradiated wasteland since then? There are no shortage of rumors and conspiracy theories, each more fantastic than the last. Rumors of mutated wildlife, brainwashed cults, secret experiments, and unexplainable paranormal events abound, as do promises of great riches and wildest dreams coming true for those who are daring or desperate enough to try to break through the cordon. You are about to find out for yourself what is true and what is yet undiscovered, and experience for yourself all the Zone has to offer... or to take from you.

Built upon Team Epic’s revolutionary Call of Chernobyl mod that incorporated the maps from all three original Stalker games into a vast and freely explorable Exclusion Zone as well as adding countless features and improvements, Call of The Zone delivers numerous gameplay and immersion enhancements for your adventure into the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.

Featuring a dynamic storyline that will lead you all throughout the Zone, Call of the Zone features hundreds of unique, dynamic, repeatable tasks and dozens of brand new task types. Task targets, areas, rewards are determined in real time whenever a task is offered. Infinite replayability is possible as your game will never be the same no matter how many adventures you take into the Zone!

In addition to the dynamic tasking system, the Zone itself is now completely dynamic. Factions will create alliances and go to war with each other. Anomalies can appear anywhere and shift position with every blowout. Mutants and stalkers are spawned dynamically and with far more variety. A-life is free to wander the Zone and is no longer tied to limited areas. The Zone is alive and continually transforming as you make your way through it.

Call of The Zone features numerous gameplay enhancements, custom and restored dialogs, graphical improvements, a-life enhancements, performance tweaks, and bugfixes. Gameplay and immersion were the overarching priorities, to deliver you a fun and thrilling adventure into the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone whether you are a seasoned veteran stalker or brand new to the Zone!
