About
EPILEPSY WARNING: Do not play if you are sensitive to flashing lights.
Based on true events, this first-person, atmospheric horror experience will have you traverse the radioactive bowels of the Chernobyl blast site, carefully orienting your every step based on the readings of your Geiger counter. Each liquidator has their own set of skills to provide a variety of approaches for each hazardous challenge. Whether they all make it out, or succeed at all, is in your hands.

This project is dedicated to all the liquidators, first responders, and support units that responded to the Chernobyl disaster. Through interactivity, people can experience the simulated danger and horrors of their missions firsthand. It is our goal to raise awareness/support for the people that contained the fallout.
Originally, we did this by promoting donations for Chernobyl Children International and similar organizations in lieu of paying for the game. However, as the devastating war in Ukraine has unfolded (including the terrifying standoff at Chernobyl), we are now asking that players donate to the UNICEF fund for affected Ukrainian children.
UNICEF Ukrainian Children's Fund: Since Steam no longer allows links on storefronts, we ask people to search for "Unicef Ukraine" on their browsers and donate on the official Unicef website for Ukrainian war victims.
(We are not affiliated with UNICEF, Chernobyl Children International, or any other organization. We chose to showcase UNICEF and Chernobyl Children International because of their reputation. This game was an independently developed student project by a small team of volunteers from various backgrounds.)

Fun! Music choice is excellent and gameplay is very unique.
The absolute proof that games dont need good graphics. Also the game is based on a real life event, so play at your own risk.

Great game, giving me unsettling feeling all the way through. Contains some funky mechanics that sometime caused a unjust amount of frustration, but it is not a dealbreaker. Recommended if you have 2+ hours to spare, this game is an experience.
ts had me on my toes for an hour, 10/10
Es un juego corto, de no más de dos horas, pero sorprende por la calidad de sus controles, música y gráficos, especialmente considerando que es un indie gratuito. La historia es interesante y, la verdad, da miedo si uno se pone en la piel de esos voluntarios. No es un juego de terror como tal, pero su ambientación resulta bastante opresiva y logra mantenerte en tensión, sobre todo si se juega con audífonos. En cuanto a la jugabilidad, es bastante sencillo: solo hay que avanzar con cuidado y usar la lógica. Muy recomendable. Ojalá en el futuro lo traduzcan y le añadan logros; sin duda lo rejugaría con gusto, aunque sé que quizás es mucho pedir.
I can't believe they made a game based on the hit HBO show Chernobyl.
good game relatively short once you know what your doing
