A new creature has appeared in the Zone — “Child of the Zone.” She can be encountered both in open areas and during certain raids. Do not underestimate her due to her appearance or low physical damage. The girl rapidly burns through psi protection, and once it is depleted, there is almost no room for mistakes.
Added new loot “Wind-Up Chicken” — an old Soviet toy that survived the world before the Zone. Can be found both on locations and during raids.
Added new loot “Rubber Duck” — a children’s toy from the past. Can be found in the Zone as well as during raids.
Added new children’s loot “Rubber Ball” — an old Soviet toy. Found only within the Zone.
The behavior of some monsters has been revised. It is now possible to break away from them or hide, if you act carefully.
The loot tables for enemies from various factions have been reworked and expanded.
By popular request from stalkers: grenades thrown by enemies now emit a sound when they hit the ground.
Slightly increased the survivability of two AFU fighters assisting during the “Outpost” clearance.
Several levels have been adjusted due to the appearance of the “Child of the Zone.”
Fixed the description of the “Moon” artifact — bonus and penalty parameters are now displayed correctly.
Fixed the shelter name from the New Year event: “Shelter 2025” has been renamed to “Shelter 2026” for players who have already found the “White Stalker” PDA.
Minor fixes and tweaks on several locations.
Additional optimization on some levels.
The leaderboard has been reset.
Dear stalkers! I would also like to let you know that development of a new game — D.E.C.A.Y. — has officially begun. If you enjoyed my previous projects, I would be grateful for your support — feel free to add the game to your wishlist and follow its page.
This is a story about a lone soldier, an autonomous bunker, and a world slowly falling apart. There is no squad, no safe zones, and no easy decisions — only control, survival, and the consequences of every choice.
The game page and the first footage are already available.
