My earliest memories are of death...
Now, with a total loss of identity and past, it has taken another lifetime to progress from being unwelcome and destitute - lacking even a decent weapon to protect myself in this unforgiving and desolate place - to learning who I was, where I’d been, and where I needed to be. To get there I had to search for clues, in addition to weapons, medicine, and protection from literally everything in the Exclusion Zone - that natural hell born from arrogance, hubris and fear that will forever be remembered as 'Chernobyl'…
Level 0 of STALKERSOUP is simply massive, with quests ranging from basic to complex and far-reaching. I have been testing this initial level of the much larger game for over a year and, though I've taken on the same quests many, many times, I still have to think about what I’m doing to survive and prevail. It is that varied and involved.
There are NPCs whom I hate, some I consider trusted friends, mutants I enjoy hunting, and those I get very nervous about hunting me. The quests and storylines have been carefully adopted from a diverse number of writers, and it shows. There is great variety even in the smallest things. I have played countless games in real life, but can honestly say that STALKERSOUP will always be in my top five. I look forward to every regular upgrade, to the multitude of new experiences that I know will come and, each time, I feel the call…
I take a shot of vodka, put on my old leather coat, and break out my timeworn semi-accurate pistol. I check the action briefly, throw two boxes of ammo and a handful of medkits into my battered rucksack and, after a cursory glance behind me, head back once more into my adopted home, the Zone...

STALKERSOUP Features
"This independent game by TecnoBacon is widely considered to be one of the best and most stable adaptations of the STALKER trilogy..." (quote by Dan)
Used to adding total conversions to your current STALKER game? How do you feel about one total conversion naturally leading into another? And another?
Welcome to STALKERSOUP...
A custom 56-level all.spawn, incorporating the original conversion and storyline of Narodnaya Solyanka (People's Soup) with the Large Zone Mod, Arsenal Mod, and AMK/DMX enhancements, is the base for a unique level-up system that continues the storyline over many more levels
The result of over five years of relentless coding to merge all these mods with additional content, the complete game has a dedicated worldwide team of testers, ongoing English translation from the original Russian (steve2000, Sword2012), further translation to other languages, and regular monthly updates (TecnoBacon, aleks1970)
The game has benefited from a major refit before going Alpha, providing a more substantial and robust gameplay experience than ever before. Level 0 (the base game) and Level-up 1 (The Collector) are fully working, while Level-ups 2 (Desolation) and 3 (Reclamation) are partially complete but working within the game, with new level-ups to be provided via downloadable content in the future
Containing over 230,000 objects, the 12Gb download unpacks a game weighing in at just over 19Gb, and covers a legion of quests over every map from Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, and Call of Pripyat, plus many new areas, creating several hundred hours of freeform gameplay
