== Plot ==
The Great War destroyed the entire world 25 years ago, devastating the Earth's wildlife. The planet has become devoid of life as the Earth's biosphere has been contaminated by radioactive radiation and the air has become unbreathable. Nevertheless, the planet is alive, and those creatures that did not die on the cold, acidic, poisonous, radiation-contaminated surface have evolved into mutated beings. These mutants have reproduced at a rapid rate, adapting to the new harsh living conditions. And their appetites only increased, and their only prey was none other than humans.
The city of Budapest was hit by a direct bomb hit, killing scores of people in the detonation and many more in the subsequent radiation. However, with so many cellars, caves, subways, bunkers and shelters in the city, tens of thousands of people survived underground. Going to the surface is only possible with protective gear, gas masks and weapons because of the dangers and risks involved. They range from severe radioactive contamination, irradiated materials and anomalies to deadly predatory mutants born on the irradiated surface.
The story is about a lonely Stalker named Félix, from the "city" of Budaörs metro station, who searches for a mystical and powerful object and has to face many dangers on his long journey. However, he was not the only one with the idea to obtain this rare and special magical object. Almost at the same time, an iron-fisted dictator ruling the Kőbánya in the Tarna system, and another warlord in command of the TEK-protected Prime Minister's bunker, launched a bloody campaign to find the object, also known as the "Artifact". To do so, the two opposing factions must attack the peaceful basement city of "Chicago". 
Standing in the way of their mindless war is a national military junta fighting a foreign power, led by a former commander of the Hungarian Defence Forces, whose sacred goal is to ensure that any mutant, anomaly or artifact that poses a threat to the survivors of the capital is immediately eliminated. 
Felix faces many obstacles, working alone as a lone wolf, unable to trust a few people to complete his mission. These people can be wise old men, children with special abilities, or people independent of warring factions. His path is complicated by the worst of the worst, intelligent, abomination mutants, and the "Dark Stalker" who constantly stalks and pursues him. As he moves deeper into the heart of the capital, he uncovers more and more dark secrets beneath the ruins and ashes of the former Budapest.
