Disappearances in the Zone are not uncommon, but in recent months there have been too many: stalkers vanish without a trace — no bodies, no gear, not even the slightest clue. No one knows the reasons, but there is more and more talk about an abandoned scientific complex that used to be unreachable. People began to disappear just when the anomalies blocking the way to him suddenly vanished. Now the four go to explore a place that was considered...
People eventually get used to all the strange and incomprehensible things in the Zone. Even the crawling toys that emit a nasty screech have stopped being novel, though they still induce fear, especially when encountered alone. What awaits us next?

The longer the stalkers dwell in the North, the more legends and rumors appear in their stories, but are they all true? The wanderers and allies from your faction you pass by in the North can now tell you what happens in the area, whether it's artifact hunting, storming outposts, or something else. However, lately, their stories have started to seem increasingly strange and even eerie. The Zone has begun to reveal hidden fears, reality is distorting, and piercing screams of the unknown echo throughout...
