About Chernobylite Complete Edition
Chernobylite Complete Edition is a science‑fiction survival horror RPG set in a hyper‑realistic, 3D‑scanned version of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. You play as Igor, a physicist returning to Pripyat thirty years after his fiancée vanished, confronting hostile military forces, rival stalkers, and supernatural threats.
The game blends base building, crafting, resource and team management, stealth, combat, and non‑linear storytelling. Every decision—from trusting companions to allocating supplies—shapes the narrative, making each playthrough distinct while you strive to survive the zone’s harsh environment.
01 / THE GUIDE
Base Building & Crafting
Players can construct a personal base that serves as a hub for planning daily operations and excursions. Workstations within the base allow the creation of gadgets, traps, and weapons, as well as modification of existing equipment.
The base functions as a central point for crafting, enabling players to adapt tools to their needs and prepare for the challenges of the zone.
- Consider how you arrange your workstations for efficient crafting.
- Experiment with different weapon modifications to suit your playstyle.

Resource & Team Management
Companions are essential for survival, requiring careful daily planning of resources and task assignments. Managing supplies directly impacts the ability of teammates to assist in exploration and combat.
Each day demands strategic distribution of limited resources, influencing both the health of the group and progress toward uncovering the story.
- Balance resource allocation between immediate survival needs and longer‑term research goals.
- Monitor companion status regularly to prevent unexpected losses.

Stealth, Survival & Combat
Survival in the Zone is challenging; players can avoid detection through stealth takedowns or choose open armed confrontations. Both approaches carry risks as danger is present in every corner.
Combat encounters are unpredictable, and the environment can quickly shift from quiet exploration to intense firefights.
- Use stealth when supplies are low to conserve ammunition.
- Observe enemy patterns before engaging in open combat.

Non‑Linear Storytelling & Strategy
The narrative adapts to player choices, ensuring no two playthroughs are identical. Decisions about trust, resource use, and conflict resolution directly influence the story’s direction.
Strategic planning is required to balance personal survival against the broader goal of uncovering the truth behind Igor’s past.
- Weigh the long‑term narrative impact before making major trust decisions.
- Track resource expenditure to see how it shapes story outcomes.
