Gameplay

The player plays as a physicist, formerly employed at Chernobyl Nuclear Plant who is suffering from the loss of their loved one in the Chernobyl Disaster 30 years ago and returns to the disaster zone to look for their partner.[1] Most of the single-player gameplay revolves around exploring the exclusion zone, gathering supplies and tools while encountering "Stalkers" and hostile military personnel. The player is also forced to make decisions which affect the nonlinear story line. There is also a crafting system, which allows the player to craft their own equipment and weapons.[2] Any character can die and any task can be failed.[3] Deep in the contaminated environment also lie strange supernatural threats, due to the "chernobylite" created from the nuclear aftermath.[4]

Development

Chernobylite was development by The Farm 51. The game's map was developed from 3-D scans and recreations of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone in Ukraine. [4]

The Farm 51 started a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to help fund extra development and to scan and create more in-game locations and content. The initial funding goal was $100,000, $148,583 have been pledged as of May 1, 2019. Backers of the campaign will receive a playable demo version of the game with 1-2 hours of pre-alpha gameplay.[3]


gollark: Good idea.
gollark: `+` and `-` for functions in potatOS are admittedly just fancy compose.
gollark: ```lualocal func_mt = {}if debug then debug.setmetatable(function() end, func_mt) endfunction func_mt.__sub(lhs, rhs) return function(...) return lhs(rhs(...)) endendfunction func_mt.__add(lhs, rhs) return function(...) return rhs(lhs(...)) endendfunction func_mt.__concat(lhs, rhs) return function(...) local r1 = lhs(...) local r2 = rhs(...) return r1, r2 -- limit to two return values endendfunction func_mt.dump(x) return string.dump(x) endfunction func_mt.info(x) return debug.getinfo(x) endfunction func_mt.address(x) return (string.match(tostring(f), "%w+$")) end```
gollark: OH REALLY?
gollark: Oh, and you can index strings so `("abcd")[4]` returns `"d"`.
