S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has gained a massive fan base worldwide. On its first day of sales, March 23, 2007, gamers purchased 30 000 copies. The game's storyline revolves around the aftermath of the 1986 accident, where secret laboratories were built in the Exclusion Zone for experiments involving psychic abilities. These experiments led to a second catastrophe, resulting in the emergence of mutants, deadly anomalies, and valuable artifacts sought after by stalkers. The main objective of the game is to reach the center of the Zone, which requires overcoming numerous challenges, including special forces guarding the area against unauthorized entry.
