Chornobyl Liquidators

Chornobyl Liquidators is an immersive sim game inspired by the real-life nuclear disaster that took place in Chornobyl in 1986. What sets it apart from other games inspired by this event is its commitment to historical accuracy, which translates to a high level of realism. In this production, you won't have to face mutated creatures or anomalies caused by radiation. Instead, you will experience the actual consequences of the reactor failure at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant. The game accurately reproduces not only the events or the language but also all of the available locations, documents, tools, and items used in Soviet Ukraine during that era. These were all created based on numerous archival photos and documents, memories from individuals associated with the events, as well as exhibits from museums and private collections.

Another crucial aspect of the game is the storyline itself. Developers took great care in creating a mature and emotionally engaging narrative that incorporates moral decision-making. Players can experience the events from the perspective of the Liquidators – the personnel tasked by the government of the USSR to deal with the aftermath of the nuclear disaster. Thanks to this approach, developers succeeded in creating a world where historical realism intertwines with emotionally compelling and immersive gameplay.

Step into the shoes of a nameless hero confronting treacherous radiation. Take action as one of the firefighters who extinguished fires on the ruins of reactor No. 4 on that fateful night. Traverse the abandoned city of Pripyat as a dosimetrist, fighting against radioactive dust and clouds. In a radiation suit, explore the tunnels under the reactor, in search of truth. Grab a shovel and clear the radioactive graphite from the roof of Unit 3's turbine hall! Witness hell with your own eyes…
