Z.O.N.A: Origin

Z.O.N.A: Origin is a VR game set in the post-apocalyptic Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, where you investigate a mystery amid dangerous anomalies, mutants and bandits. You explore diverse locations, search anomalies for valuable artifacts and use a variety of classic and modern weapons. The game combines action, horror, survival and RPG elements, with over 30 hours of gameplay.

The Zone

After a mysterious catastrophe in 2022, the area around the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant became a place of unexplained wonders and threats. Stalkers enter in search of riches, while gangs and hungry mutants pursue the treasures they find. The Zone is marked by solitude and a sense that time has stopped.

In 2030, witnesses reported powerful, bright flashes in the north. The secret government O.S.Z sent scientists under military protection to investigate, but they disappeared. Stalkers who later tried to reach the northern area vanished too. Anomalous activity increased, bringing strong psi-fields and new mutants. Experienced stalkers believe processes in the north create anomalies and artifacts, but high radiation—especially after recent emissions—makes this impossible to confirm.

Investigate the north

It is believed that if the Zone gathers enough psi-energy, it will destroy all life on Earth. You head for the north, the Zone’s most secure area, to uncover what is happening and face your fate.

Weapons and threats

You can customize weapons by painting them with spray cans. The game also features realistic handling for classic and modern weapons, along with dangerous anomalies, valuable artifacts, mutants and bandits.
