Lovely stuff. My mate was chatting about this and it’s the same book (or series of) that STALKER is based on, I think. Also, Metro has some of the STALKER devs too and it really shows. Glad they’re working on something from the same universe. Anyway… with all of that in mind, I’m fascinated to see how it turns out as it’s coming from good stock so might even make a good film. :-)
