Road to Vostok

Road to Vostok is a journey into the heart of the exclusion zone on the border between Finland and Russia, where every step could be your last. Here survival depends not on reaction speed, but on planning. The exclusion zone occupies sparsely populated lands, where checkpoints and barracks remain. The immediate goal is not mining, but returning home with finds. Sometimes it is better to return than to take risks. Preparation is more important than the fight: equipment is collected in advance, the route is thought out, and medicine and food are distributed into pockets. Going out without a supply of water and bandages is considered a rookie mistake. Equipment is limited in weight, so some of the finds have to be left behind. The weapon is cleaned and maintained, otherwise it will fail at the most inopportune moment. The world is open for exploration, and the people encountered are divided into traders, patrols and marauders. Sometimes it is more profitable to disperse peacefully than to engage in a shootout. At night, visibility is worse, and mutants behave more boldly. The weather changes quickly: fog, rain and snow change visibility. At night it is better to move through shelters than on the open road.
