Chernobyl - Explorers Diary vol.3
While we were exploring abandoned buildings, we found a lot of toys. Young couples felt good and secure in the town of Pripyat, so nothing held them back from having children. Chernobyl from before the catastrophe could be called the Google headquarters of USSR - young and talent

Chernobyl - Explorers Diary vol.2
Many people still think that the most dangerous thing you can encounter in the exclusion zone is radiation - it's not true. The radiation level exceeds norms only in some "hot spots", and even there just wearing a gas mask protects you from harm. Anyone interested in urbex knows,

Chernobyl - Explorers Diary vol.1
If you travel to Chernobyl, you'll meet a lot of creatures. Dozens of dogs run in packs around the exclusion zone. These days most of them are ear tagged and castrated to prevent the massive over population, that used to be handled by shooting them down. Luckily some good people

Chernobyl VR Project - Grand Update
Hi! We’re finally ready to release a huge update for Chernobyl VR Project on Steam. Steam version of the application will be left in the early access, until the end of the year, because we want to continue developing it, making it the most complete version of the app so far. Duri
Hi! We’re finally ready to release a huge update for Chernobyl VR Project on Steam. Steam version of the application will be left in the early access, until the end of the year, because we want to continue developing it, making it the most complete version of the app so far. During our trips to Chernobyl we’ve gathered an overwhelming amount of content, and tailoring it for various platform, with a small, dedicated team was a challenge. Now we’ve decided to keep adding new content, focusing only on one platform - Steam. What you get with this update is a complete experience with updated mechanics, graphics, and additional content. The resolution of the app is greater than on Playstation VR, the models have more details, and a system for finding hidden objects based on radiation, measured by Geiger counter was added here. Detailed list of changes:

3D walkable level for hospital
Native Oculus Rift support, both with touch controllers and gamepad
Spatial audio on each walkable level
Revamped 360 movies, with better colors and resolution
Updated UI elements
Complete lightning redesign on all 3d walkable levels
More detailed radiation measurements
Hidden narration elements based on radiation level
Lots of bug fixes
To do list:

Subtitles
non-VR support
additional 3D locations
additional narration
hidden objects puzzle adventures elements
We’ll work on updates and bug fixes till the end of the year, and we want you to get engaged in further development, feel free to suggest new locations, and improvements we can make in the app. I’ll be answering all the posts here as soon as I can.

Chernobyl VR Project Now On Vive Too, Updates Videos
Alec wasn’t entirely happy when we duct-taped him to a chair, bolted his Rift goggs to his skull and jacked him into a tour of Chernobyl and Pripyat with Chernobyl VR Project . He liked seeing inside that irradiated corner of Ukraine – known to Those Young People as the setting f
