After an explosion transforms Chernokamensk into a sealed anomaly zone, you enter as an artifact hunter authorized to explore it. A dog accompanies you as you investigate the area and face bandits, wildlife, and threats that emerge after dark.
Prepare for a raid, choose a location, and search for valuables, caches, and artifacts while fighting or avoiding enemies. Reach an extraction point to bring your haul home; if you die, uninsured equipment is lost.
Back at your base, sell valuables and artifacts, complete tasks for traders, and build reputation to unlock more equipment. Maintain and customize firearms, stock up on supplies, and use your dog to help with scavenging and combat.
Reviewers often praise the zone’s eerie atmosphere and the tension of exploring it in VR, especially during night raids. Many also enjoy handling and customizing weapons, the changing layouts of raids, and the dog’s role as a companion. Some describe the raid loop as absorbing, while others criticize weapon or belt interactions, enemy behavior, and the amount of content or repetition.

At the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, an explosion rocked a clandestine laboratory in Chernokamensk. A massive energy release transformed the city into an exclusion zone, periodically illuminated by an eerie glow. The government sealed off the region from the outside world with an imposing wall.
The true nature of the zone and its real happenings remain shrouded in mystery. The leak of secret documents, in which one word - 'convergence' was often repeated, did not clarify the situation either.
However, whispers of untold treasures and enigmatic artifacts traverse the land, attracting people from all corners of the country to Chernokamensk. Some delve into the anomalous territory as part of special volunteer units, while others trespass illegally.
You will assume the role of an artifact hunter, a member of a specialized squad granted access to the restricted area. The zone is in constant flux, and to unveil its secrets, you must confront bandits, wild animals, and enigmatic demons that emerge to hunt under the veil of night.
