addedAs you may have already noticed, our project has undergone many changes recently. We've managed to significantly improve the mechanics, we've expanded the gameplay with new elements, and we've also ensured that the historical and factual compatibility of the world presented is maintained. What we have not mentioned so far is the fact that extensive work on the game's storyline has been going on in parallel. This is because we decided to create an elaborate, poignant story depicting the dramas of people caught up in events that would go down in the annals of history in an infamous way. Often against their will, placed in unfriendly circumstances, they had to make decisions that would affect the fate of many people. Choices affecting those closest to them and those they did not know at all. Situations from which there is no good way out, each with dire consequences. All this fell on the unwitting participants of those events, crushing their consciences. With the benefit of hindsight, it is easy for us contemporaries to pass judgement and evaluate the behaviour of others. However, we must ask ourselves, how would we have behaved in such extreme situations? Would we have carried the burden of the decision? Would we be able to look ourselves in the eye years later?

When creating the storyline of Chornobyl Liquidators, we decided to give players the opportunity to make moral choices, which are also storyline choices. For each of them will be reflected in the storyline. Each will have an effect. These choices will affect the story to a greater or lesser degree, but you can be sure that each of them will be a Conrad-like choice. None of the decisions will be easy and will leave a scar in the players' hearts. Ultimately, the sum of our decisions will lead to one of many endings, none of which will be unequivocally bad or good. Instead, each will be bittersweet... like life.
