You are stalkers who made your first foray into the epicenter of a nuclear reactor explosion. While exploring the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, you stumbled upon an unknown anomaly. A split-second flash—and before you know it, the squad was thrown back into the brutal Middle Ages of the 14th century.

Now you have to fight for survival amidst feudal wars and medieval filth. But the Zone didn't let you go that easily. From time to time, it will call you back—opening spatial rifts and dragging your entire squad to Pripyat for dangerous raids in search of Soviet loot.

At the start, your squad is completely unready for trouble, and any scavenged loot will be worth its weight in gold. Every group of stalkers that survives these raids grows stronger, unlocking access to blueprints and crafting the equipment of your dreams. However, modern weapons alone won't be enough to bend this world to your will.

Medieval settlements are crowded with hundreds of residents living by their own laws, forcing you to use your head. Forge alliances with certain clans and doom others to destruction. Knowing how to win the trust of the local nobility and strike terror into the hearts of enemies is the only way for a small squad of outsiders to grow into a force capable of rewriting history.

What awaits you? You will have to balance on the edge of two worlds, where every wrong step could be your last. In the 14th century, fierce battles, cold steel, and the treachery of feudal lords await you. And when the Zone calls you back into the darkness of Chernobyl's abandoned labs, the rules of the game change drastically—and instead of knightly ambushes, you'll have to face those who will corner you in a dark spot without warning and tear you to pieces.

Prepare to overcome the hardships of both eras solo, or squad up to catch medieval arrows with your face while your partner panics trying to find ammo for the gun. It's time to trade a crate of canned meat for a whole castle!
