The game begins with Cordon, in which some Sidorovich is located, who saved the main character life. He also introduces the player in the course of the case, explains what to what, what is the situation in the Zone today. It is worth considering the fact that our character has forgotten everything that happened to him before that, and he does not remember anything: who was, what he was and what he lived for.
The only thing that emerges from the fuzzy vague images of consciousness is the word "Shooter". With Sidorovich, you can also bargain (if, of course, there are more than). Then our savior will ask to repay the service for the service - to help the stalkers attack the lair of the robbers. To do this, you need to get out and find the Wolf - the head of this operation. In the course of the mission, the shooter will receive his first firearm - a pistol and several cartridges. Using a mini-map, it is not difficult to determine the location of enemies (they are marked with red dots). After completing the assignment, Sidorovich will generously reward the new ascending personality in the Zone. The game "Stalker: Shadows of Chernobyl", the passage of which is represented as a dangerous adventure in the radioactive Zone, will present the player with a lot of new impressions, transferring it to various locations and situations. After fulfilling his first task, Shooter will continue to work for Sidorovich. But this time everything turns out to be much more serious - it is necessary to penetrate the territory of the military guarding the way out of the Zone, and steal confidential documents from them. After completing the mission, you can go further, deep into the Zone.
In the course of the movement, Sidorovich will inform the radio that a stalker named Fox has information about Strelka. Having given him a little help, you can get valuable information about contact on Gray, who knows more than he speaks. The game "Stalker: Shadows of Chernobyl", the passage of which looks like a certain detective chain, will acquaint the player with many residents of the zone: affable and evil, kind and dangerous, honest and mercenary. But in the dump, honestly, there were almost no bright and decent people left. A small detachment is kept in the hangar, once against the attacks of bandits. Naturally, our nameless hero is ready to render all possible assistance. Next, you need to pick up the reward and move north. Passage of the game "Shadow of Chernobyl" is based on the sequential study of locations on which the gamer has to perform a number of basic and side (if desired) tasks. Having talked with Gray, we learn about a certain hiding place, hidden under the factory. Previously, it was the cache of the Arrow. Perhaps you can find some useful information there. To do this, you need to go down the drain, which is stuffed with anomalies and bandits. Having reached the right place, we take away a flash drive with data and everything that gets under the arm. By the way, this is a very important detail of the game "Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl."
Passage of the game is built in such a way that it is simply vital for the user to collect all kinds of supplies and equipment that he can only find. In the Zone there is no such concept "much", here all it is necessary to save and protect. Further on the storyline, you need to find yet another documents of the military, lying in the Research Institute of Agroprom. Taking them, you can go to a new location with a pure heart, where one of the most crowded places is located - the bar "100 Rentgen". In the same place one of the strongest outings in the game "Stalker: Shadows of Chernobyl" begins. Passage with each mission accomplished will become heavier and heavier, thereby spurring the gamer. Next, the player is waiting for an incredible and mystical journey through two laboratories, a restricted area, a crowded zombie and other horrible creatures. In the end, everyone can see a different ending, it all depends on the actions that the user took during the passage of the main missions in the game "Stalker: Shadows of Chernobyl." The passage of this game is fascinating and original, because at the moment there is no similar project describing the mystical Zone, located around the Chernobyl NPP.
