Here at once two story lines that divide the game into 2 parts. First, the main character Shram has to collect documents for the laboratory "O-consciousness." This is the first storyline.

In the second location you have to look for transitions in the changed Zone. This is the second storyline. However, it is worth noting that these tasks are hidden in the game, that is, there is no mention of them in the PDA of the main character. Therefore, they should not be forgotten.

The plot is closely intertwined with the events in the "Stalker".
