Chernobylite Complete Edition - Pablo
Reminder: we have launched the Chernobylite Digital Charity Pack DLC. The total net proceeds of this package will be donated to The Pure Heart foundation - an Ukrainian organization focused on humanitarian and medical aid projects. This is a direct support to the victims of the war in Ukraine. More information can be found below:

We, both as a team and as a company, are determined to help the civilians who are suffering the consequences of this war. Many of them don’t have access to clean water, food or electricity, not to mention medical care. Those everyday services that we take for granted are beyond reach for those affected by war. Therefore, the aid we provide to Ukraine is humanitarian and medical in nature, aimed at these victims who need immediate help. We would like to thank everyone who already supported our initiative. Please don’t stop.
We begin our journey at the “white house” with a characteristic yellow telephone box. If you recall, we took some photos of our Tatyana in it.
From here you can see two equally characteristic places. One of them is the Polissya Hotel - a 6-storey building erected in the mid-1970s. It had 62 rooms with 108 beds, where delegations and guests visiting the Chernobyl nuclear power plant were hosted. The city hall building was located behind the hotel.
After the disaster at the power plant, the upper floors of the hotel along with the viewing platform were used by the government commission investigating the consequences of the accident. For some time, there was also a makeshift, temporary air traffic control used to direct helicopter flights over the reactor building of power unit IV.
Here we took the opportunity to do a photo session.
The hotel roof provides a great view of the square (filled with vegetation, and in the game - with NAR equipment) as well as the famous "Energetic" Palace of Culture. We use the word "famous" for a reason - it was one of the first in the city to meet the cultural needs of the inhabitants. It was their joy and pride.
The building was put into use in the mid-1970s. The complex had a large number of facilities, incl. a restaurant, a gym, telephone exchange, a swimming pool and even a boxing ring. Such a wide scope allowed for various activities: artistic gymnastics, dance teams, children's sports clubs, book clubs and literature evenings, theater performances and games, discos for young people, concerts and many others.
The Palace of Culture "Energetic" was a prime example of socialist realism, the common style of all art of the Soviet period. Although, it contained elements that differed slightly from this architectural trend. One of the best known is the signboard: the inscription "Palace of Culture" is highlighted in blue, and "Energetic" - in red. It looked impressive at night.
After the accident in 1986, the building's premises were used as service rooms for the maintenance of the power plant which was running in an emergency mode. When "Energetic" closed down, like many other places in Pripyat, it gradually began deteriorating. As you can see in the photo, the windows are broken, many plants have begun to grow in the gym and the moss is slowly covering the floor’s parquet.
Walking towards one of those huge broken windows, you can see a view of the last, but the probably the most iconic object in Pripyat: the amusement park.
The amusement park was supposed to have its grand opening on May 1, 1986, on the International Workers' Day. These plans were thwarted by the disaster at the power plant that had taken place just a few days earlier. There are unconfirmed testimonies of witnesses that the park was briefly opened on the morning of April 27, that is, before the evacuation of residents, in order to divert attention from the disaster.
The amusement park consisted of five attractions: the iconic 26-meter Ferris wheel, bumper cars arena, a carousel, swings and a shooting range. Even though the park was not ready yet (e.g. the carousel did not have decorative umbrellas), the excited residents were eager to visit the place before its official opening.
The park is deserted now. The cars are still standing where they have been abandoned, the carousel seats are rusted, and the yellow Ferris wheel cars are fading, rusting and slowly peeling off the paint.
We visited all these places, like other places in Chernobyl, many times. Recently at the end of last year. Thanks to the materials we have collected, you can visit them yourself in our game.

Hello Stalkers!
We’re leaving the Cafe "Pripyat" and heading west along Kurchatova Street. On the way, we’re walking past an estate of residential buildings and the "Prometheus" cinema. A bit further we’ll go to a place well known to all Chernobylite players. Welcome to Pripyat Central.We begin our journey at the “white house” with a characteristic yellow telephone box. If you recall, we took some photos of our Tatyana in it.
