“Game doesn't offer only the desolate Stalker feel, but it's also a well-made indie adventure with branching story choices and good action gameplay. Quite small and linear maps are the only drawback.”

About This Game

SURVIVAL

Tunguska: The Visitation is 3D top-down action shooter, infused with moderate survival elements such as food, medicine, body energy, character stat buff, hazardous environments, and inventory management. The slow-paced, methodical gameplay inspires critical thinking and strategic planning.

A perk-based skill system lets you decide on how to build expertise - be it combat-heavy, stealthy, crafty, or just an all around survivor of the Zone.

COMBAT

Put your grit to the test with real time melee brawls and gunfights. With a large arsenal of weapons, you can be creative and come up with the best approach for each combat scenario. Stick to the shadows and use distractions, if being stealthy is up your alley.

GHOUL HUNTING

Live the life of a Ghoul Hunter in an exclusion zone infested with deadly mutants known as "Ghouls". Your life is at risk, but your fortune is awaiting: hunt the Ghouls for their blood and organs, and then create special serums eagerly sought-after by the rest of the world!

CRAFTING

The Zone is not a barren place. Collect wild herbs, grow crops, and hunt for wild animals to collect ingredients for cooking and brewing. Use the workbench to craft ammunition and repair your gears.

EXPLORATION & DISCOVERY

Uncover the dark secrets of Tunguska from the Soviet era. Venture across desolate villages, abandoned facilities, toxic swamps, and ominous tunnels in this top-down adventure RPG, in a realm cursed by the mysterious Tunguska Event in 1908.

Inspired by the novel Roadside Picnic, Tunguska is one man's vision and creation of a new post-Visitation zone: a place not just full of horror and danger, but also the freedom and opportunities sought after by many near the fall of the USSR.

Q: Should I get the DLCs?

A: The "Ravenwood Stories" DLC is a must-have for players who enjoy discovering horror stories, as well as those who love base-building, farming, and crafting. The "Way of A Hunter" DLC lets you create your own character skill class and choose a different avatar and gender. The "Shadow Master" DLC adds a new stealth quest along with a detailed background story, if you are a fan of the lore. The "Dead Zone" DLC provides two New Game+ experiences with a huge collection of new weapons, armor, and gears.
