Burned One

Burned One is a story-driven game set in a post-apocalyptic version of the post-Soviet space, where anomalies distort the laws of physics and reality. You play as Voila, a stalker searching for the truth about his wife's disappearance during the Cataclysm and a way to save people from the creatures it brought. The choices you make affect your relationships with people and, later, with factions, and can lead to different outcomes.

Explore the Wastelands

You investigate dark corners of new lands and search abandoned ruins for clues. Diaries, audio recordings and scraps of maps reveal what happened to those who disappeared and help piece together the mystery of Voyla's wife. The Wastelands hold secrets, Easter eggs and other end-game content.

Survive the dangers

Every step can be your last, so you need to watch your surroundings and react quickly. Some choices put you in danger to help someone; others may mean betraying them to survive. The game warns that entering the middle of a “Collapse” can be fatal, and that survival is not always a reward.

Chapters and side quests

The game currently includes five chapters, each taking about half an hour to complete, and four side quests focused on different characters. Two mini-side quests let you play card games with characters: Fool or 21 Points.
