About game

Exploration of post-apocalyptic landscapes creates a thrill that few other settings can replicate. STALKER: Artifacts drops you straight into the haunting silence of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, where every shadow might hide a lethal secret. You must navigate five iconic locations, from the decaying Duga Radar Station to the rusty Ferris wheel, while hunting for rare relics. The core loop involves careful movement across treacherous terrain, where a single misstep near an anomaly can end your run instantly. To survive, you will need to toss bolts to neutralize environmental hazards and keep a close eye on your radiation levels. Mastering the parkour challenges is essential to reaching the most secluded spots where the best loot resides. Successfully returning an object to your vehicle marks a victory, but losing one means facing the harsh reality of the zone again. Collect all 15 items to prove your expertise and unlock prestigious achievements. Play STALKER: Artifacts for free directly in your browser without any downloads required.
