We're making sure that the game is as realistic as it physically can and you might be wondering - what about many places from the real Chernobyl and Pripyat that weren't caught on any film?
As you might already know - we're doing our best to ensure that the experience you will go through when playing Chernobyl Liquidators Simulator will be as "real" as possible. We want you to be able to look around in the game and see world as it was right after the catastrophe happened in 1986. That means that we're putting a lot of attention on the visual aspect of the game to the point of going through many historical photos, reproductions, plans and maps.
However - sometimes it's simply impossible to recreate everything in 1:1 ratio. Some places remain a mystery, some have not been visible in any of the photos in any of the archives. We put a great care into making sure that places that we cannot recreate from photos will still have the appropriate dose of realism injected into their metaphorical veins. To that effect some of us have embarked on a photographic urb-ex journey trying to make sure that we can feel the atmosphere of the places that will be shown in the game. You can even check here some of the photos one of our artists took during their photographic trips to catch that fleeting atmosphere one can have so many difficulties spotting in everyday life. Below you'll see one of the examples that inspired us to create environment in the game.
On the two screenshots above the aforementioned photograp you can see control room. It's not any specific control room - it's one of the many similar rooms that could have been in the Chernobyl. You will be able to enter many similar (but not identical!) rooms that we have created. We are happy and proud to say that we've put a lot of work into making sure that these rooms will still encapsulate and emulate the feeling and atmosphere of the real buildings, flats and different rooms you would be able to find in the catastrophe area. That work was very important to us as we know that you demand the highest standards and we hope you will find our job satisfying. We definitely believe your journey will be exciting and unforgettable.
Thank you for tuning in this time - take care and see you next time!
Kind regards,
Chernobyl Liquidators Simulator Team
