You enter a dangerous Soviet exclusion zone as an investigator drawn into the mysteries surrounding the Tunguska Event. The region is inhabited by armed factions, mutated creatures, and hazardous anomalies.
Explore linked areas, search abandoned buildings for supplies and clues, and take on quests from people and factions in the Zone. In encounters, use Soviet-era firearms and melee weapons, set ambushes, sneak past enemies, or fight directly.
Survival involves managing food, medicine, radiation, infection, and limited backpack space. Gather plants and mutant parts to cook food and brew serums, maintain and upgrade equipment, and develop your character through skills and perks.
Players often praise the Zone’s grim atmosphere and exploration, along with the option to approach danger through stealth or direct combat. Reviews also highlight the survival, scavenging, and crafting loop, and some appreciate the developer’s responsiveness. Common reservations include backtracking, repetitive errands, and uneven combat or quest guidance.
Radioactive anomalies. Rabid mutants. Cursed treasures. You step into the Zone with a pistol, a flashlight, and a roll of bandages. Hunt and scavenge, or get lost to the Zone.
Choose from an arsenal of Soviet-era firearms and melee weapons. Go in guns blazing, set ambushes, sneak through shadows, distract enemies. The Zone rewards cunning as much as courage.
Manage food, medicine, radiation, infection, and your trusty backpack. Use careful planning, stealth, or brute force—your approach matters.
Harvest herbs, hunt animals, gather mutants’ body parts. Brew serums, cook food, upgrade weapons, repair gears. The Zone is perilous — but also full of riches for the cunning.
Ravaged villages, toxic swamps, abandoned Soviet bunkers—each environment holds clues, journals, side-quests, and mysteries born of the 1908 Tunguska Event. Uncover the hidden stories at your own pace.
Inspired by the novel Roadside Picnic, Tunguska is one man's vision and creation of a new post-Visitation zone: a place not just full of horror and danger, but also the freedom and opportunities sought after by many near the fall of the USSR.
