- Fixed German Localization issues. We're sorry German Community - Everything should be OK by now :)

Okay, that wasn't a good choice of words. Chernobyl is definitely not a safe space to breathe anything in, BUT it is a great place to explore and fight hostile stalkers and weird multidimensional creatures, am I right?

Additional information about language localization status:
The text implementation is still not finalized, some bugs in subtitle and interface display may occur. Our game is very text-heavy. It's the story-driven experience with non-linear narratives - meaning thousands of lines of dialogues and interface text even for an Early Access chunk. We keep pushing a lot to translate game into as many languages as possible, but we were not able to finish all the translations and to implement them before today. This is why Chernobylite on October 16th will be delivered with Russian voices and English, German and French subtitles. We're working on translating and implementing many other subtitles nowadays, being advanced with Polish, Russian, Dutch, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Italian and starting few others at top of it. The plan is to deliver them with micro-patches within the next few days after Early Access release.

If you agree, then take your survival kit and embark on an unforgettable journey for just 29.99 USD / 24.99 EUR / 23.99 GBP / 99 PLN / 249 UAH / 666 RUB through Steam Early Access and GOG “Games in Development”.
Just don’t forget to watch the new trailer first, as this is not an all-inclusive type of a trip. You don’t want to go unprepared.

Explore the heart of darkness – the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant itself. Investigate the terrifying environments of Kopachi kindergarten, climb the mysterious Eye of Moscow, and inspect the fragments of the abandoned city of
Pripyat.



Experience 8 hours of constant survival and non-linear storytelling. Get access to free-of-charge updates that add new episodes, locations, characters, and equipment to the game. And if you’re determined enough,
discover all the possible endings!

Remember: it's an Early Access game. We're delivering it in the current state mostly to gather feedback from you and to shape the final experience with your help. If you feel anything should be changed, improved or fixed, don't hesitate to report it. We won't be able to answer directly to every notification, but we can assure you - we read all the feedback.

The main point of discussing the game and reporting the ideas and bugs is our Steam forum:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/1016800/discussions/

And the second important channel, where we try to respond in real-time, is our official Discord server:

The same as English voiceovers very soon, and Ukrainian voiceovers a bit later.

We have an announcement to make about the Closed Alpha and Early Access of Chernobylite.

Some of you will probably know this by know, but starting from TODAY you will be able to access the pre-Early-Access build of the project - basically, you'll get almost all of the Early Access content 5 days earlier than everyone else. It's still not final and before Wednesday October 16th we plan to put some HUGE updates (especially on language localization and bugfixing). But we also want to catch any other bugs we've may have missed so please - if you encounter one just write on our Steam Forum.

That's pretty neat, right?



The rules stays the same - we kindly ask you to restrain yourselves from posting any videos until October 15th at 11 CEST / 5 AM CST

This is a small token of gratitude from us for those who backed and supported us earlier.

The [CLOSED ALPHA] branch on Steam will be shut down at October 15th, and the only thing you'll have to do is to update the game!

Thanks for all your support. This is the last lap!

Thanks to the backers support the game has been enriched with new locations, characters and even additional game mechanics. In October all the patiently awaiting gamers will have an amazing opportunity to explore the “Heart of Darkness” – a Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant itself, as well as terrifying environments of Kopachi kindergarten, the mysterious Eye of Moscow, and fragments of the abandoned city of Pripyat. Early Access will offer its players an endless survival experience with 8 hours of storytelling and free-of-charge access to the upcoming updates adding new episodes, locations, characters, and equipment to the game. The story in Chernobylite is non-linear, unpredictable and fully dependent on player’s decisions, which leads to many possible endings. That means even if you finish the story in EA, you can relive it again many times and in many different ways.


Watch the Chernobylite gameplay footage showcasing the components of Early Access version below but be aware that just after watching it you’ll need a long, decontamination shower.





It is also worth mentioning that on September 17th Chernobylite will run its Closed Alpha tests just for the Kickstarter backers. The testers will have a whole month to try the game, report bugs, leave their thoughts, ideas and wishes about the further direction of the project.


Developers are hoping that the feedback gathered from gamers and a close interaction with their community at every stage of the production will direct the further development in the right place like it happened before, and alpha tests as well as Early Access will help shaping the final version in the best possible way.


The full release is planned for the second half of 2020, so be sure to follow Chernobylite’s Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1016800/Chernobylite/) and Discord (https://discord.gg/mehRmzY) to keep up with all news and updates from the developers who are always happy to engage in discussions with their fans. After Steam release, the game will also appear on other PC digital distribution platforms.

We’re extremely happy to announce that we launched Late pledges for those who missed the campain! After receiving so many messages from you we decided to create a place where you can jump in and make a late pledge!



We did not expect to make such a great success on Kickstarter and we can’t thank you enough. It took us a while to set this pledge manager but we hope that you will find everything you need there. In case you encounter any problems don’t hesitate to contact us.

We are very pleased with the positive feedback from you and we want to thank you for all the surveys you sent to us. We are now solving bugs with which you are flooding us every day and we are improving things that irritate you. Here is the newest demo update:

- We have added support for high resolutions, including 4k.
- FPS should be about 10% higher and a lot more stable. It may be not much, but it’s always a step forward.
- We have solved a lot of issues related to the broad FOV. Widescreen owners should be able to play now in greater comfort.
- Most of the problems with New Game and Continue that you have reported have been resolved.
- Random crashes that you have reported should now stop appearing ... or at least appear much less often.
- Evgeniy says the time limit for missions is irritating. It takes some time to refine this mechanics, but to reduce its irritation, we have increased the limit from 20 minutes to 30 minutes. Have fun exploring!
- We had to temporarily disable hacking. Do not worry, it will be back!

Hello stalkers!

We are very happy about the success of the kickstarter, but at the same time we are working very hard!

The first effect is update on STEAM, which will be available for everyone today!

A short changelog:
- FOV change option (it will help players with ultra wide screens)
- Texture optimization (let us know if it solved your problems with smudging textures!)
- Your favorite Evgeny NPC is offended to everyone and will no longer distribute an unlimited number of lootboxes
- We opened a new building right next to the Duga Radar. Let us know what you found there!

Right now we are still working on optimalization with priceless AMD support.
