  • 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.

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.
