Funny thing is, in Roadside Picnic, the soviet era novel that inspired the movie Stalker and the subsequent game series, the Zones were created because of an event called "The Visitation" caused by alien objects landing on Earth and mutating the environment around them in several places of the world and vanishing as mysteriously as they arrived. People breaking into the Zones started calling themselves Stalkers and brought back artifacts which propelled human technology hundreds of years forward in a matter of decades. So this game is clearly a sort of love homage to the initial source of inspiration for the Stalker phenomenon, and that's frankly amazing. EDIT: Duh, it even says in the Steam page that it's based on Roadside Picnic lol
that guy openly writes that on the steam page. he is a very big stalker fan and wanted to make a top down stalker game. it is (in his words) a love-letter to stalker!
I just discovered you a few weeks ago, and I'm so impressed that every day you're putting out good looking and interesting indie games. You are doing such a service to the community. Bless you from an independent game maker.
Dude is insane, he's been doing this nonstop for years! it's seriously impressive, I've found [easily] 100+ games from this channel over the past 3 or 4 years
@@ARescueToaster Dont be silly, comrade. If there is anything of your concern on another side of the gate, gate would not be there in a first place. It was built to protect something of value from you, so you being able to open the gate makes no sense.
This game is incredible. I bought it on release almost 2 yrs ago. the dev, a single guy afaik keeps updating the game till this day. It's a passion project for sure and it deserves more recognition.
Hey Splat. The eye is there because when you garrot someone, a lot of times, the eyes will pop out of their sockets because it's almost impossible to cut off the blood coming from the heart, at least when you use stranglation, because of the pressure the heart creates when it pumps. It is a lot easier to stop blood from going back to the heart because the heart has to pump the blood through a barrier in order to move the blood back to the heart.This is also why arteries spray blood and viens don't. TL;DR When you strangle someone pressure bulds up quickly in the skull and that pops the eye balls out! Keep up the great work!
I love you Splat! Thanks for being an awesome guy and doing these videos. You make difficult days as an above knee amputee a lot more enjoyable with some solid gameplay and smooth af voice.
i’ve always heard it pronounced toongooska… love your channel dude. “…what’s up guys and gals and welcome back to the nerd castle…” is the beginning of an awesome 30+ minutes 🤗
this game looks amazing...on the wishlist. You cost me a lot of money Splatter. Edit: I went ahead and bought the game and both DLC before the end of the video. It's on sale right now in Steam!
@@rotoristworkshop6530 I actually think the dev watches Splat and somehow pulled strings to get a sale going with all the built hype.. Pretty damn cool!
Splat: looks like you could climb the wall over there but I don't know why you'd want to. Also splat: IMMEDIATELY proceeds to waste a bunch of time tracking down gas to open a gate in that wall
Fun theory. The most likely scientific explanation for the Tunguska Event is a type of meteorite that has enough mass to survive entering Earths at osphere but it’s internal structure meant it exploded on the way down. Basically like an airburst mortar/artillery but much much much more energy involved. Like move over Hiroshima levels of energy but thankfully no radioactive fallout.
Played this game - it's awesome. Big Stalker and Metro series lover here. And this game is an amazingly good one that somehow manages to recreate the same feeling. Highly recomend it!
The Tunguska Event where something exploded in the lower atmosphere, probably a small comet or asteroid, and levelled 800-850 square miles of forest, can't recall exactly right now. Didn't even hit the ground and did a ton of damage.
there were some attempts at making STALKER with top down camera, mostly Men of War mods. But only 2 were finished - Tunguska and Zero Sievers. The guy making the game is doing so-many-updates I can't pick the right time to start my playthrough... reminds me my dillema with ATOM RPG and Trudograd.
Probably after the deadzone DLC comes out in a few weeks (hopefully), that way you can get all the updates that I plan to put in the base game - anything further will likely go to the DLCs :)
A note to western game developers: despite Czechoslovakia and Soviet Union were both socialist block countries, Soviet Union never used Scorpions, never mass produced .32 ACP ammo. Scorpion is not a Soviet/post-Soviet staple gun, .32 is less common than 5.56 there. In 90s Russia small batch of Kiparis SMG was produced, which looked somewhat like oversized Scorpion in 9 mm Makarov, but that is all.
38:15 Don't you mean "sneaky cheeki breeki"? ;) Thanks for taking a look at this one. It caught my eye a while back but looked undercooked. Very encouraging to see all the progress that's been made on it. I think I'll take a look for myself after this.
Am I the only one SEEING the anomalies? You don't need to throw things around to find out where they are O_O Thanks for getting yet another game in my radar though!
"Investigative reporter" huh Splat? (just your cover-story!), No you're not, you're a freakin arms dealer, it said so right on your pass-port!, Our Splatty a merchant-of-DEATH, oh I knew-it!, he does have a deeply unsavory (like crazed Murican militia-member, livin in the "compound") liking for gunz!, good-lord!, and the garroting animation!, it was like he was sawing the guys head-off!!!
Reading up on the actual Tunguska event is pretty wild. It's odd how that area seems to get hit by meteors often, like that famous one about 10 years ago that burst a whole lot of windows.
If you're referring to the Chelyabinsk meteor it wasn't in the same area by a long stretch as Ural and Siberia aren't even on the same continent geographically.
@@ARescueToaster are you saying, you're surprised that the largest country on the planet, has the highest chance of something landing in it? Let me blow your mind - most stuff hits the ocean, underwater conspiracy confirmed, amiright...
If your shotgun is limited to 3, you might have a plug in. They make you use a plug for certain Skeet/Trap and a lot come with them from the factory. You can remove them for 6
@@joe125ful Haha. Ok ok, now we're in the realm of 'high capacity magazines'. I left CA for NC to avoid that nonsense. :P But outside of normal tubes, CA and other states put the Saiga in the same category as an AR unfortunately, not a shogun. :( (Yes, I'd love one too. :) ) Next purchase is a Vector though - tangent)
@@RobertGalloway Yeah i like pump shotguns too its soo easy to manipulate and fun to use but you know..in modern days mostly ppls buy only semi auto shotguns not much pump ones.
Yeah, wolf is a no joke critter. First time I ever saw one up close I had just woken up and stepped out the RV to pee. I'm in nothing but boxers and half awake when I realized I'm looking into the biggest yellow eyes of the biggest damn dog I'd ever seen. What really makes the story crazy is I was in a beach parking lot in San Diego where no wolfs are to be expected. It was a guys pet and it had slipped it's collar moments before I came stumbling out. After that I never went outside without pants on again.
I'm always too quick to jump on the stuff Splatty misses when doing these, but I really wanted to say how much I appreciate this channel and all the work you do. I get exhausted by all the games you cover, I cannot imagine being the one doing the coverage. Big ups to you sir.
Can confirm that unopenable green gates exist in the balkans aswell, but here we do not discriminate, I saw black and white and bright blue gates. Fight against gate racism today.
I am your longtime subscriber. And I want to thank you. There is no false hypocrisy on your channel that is not related to the channel or any value. About what is happening right now. With love from Russia! Tunguz is in Russia. The minimum information is known. Tunguz meteorite. Stalker takes place in Chernobyl. This is Ukraine.
I liked the section of the video titled "butthole", lol. Also, I wish I kept a closer eye on your channel. I just bought ZERO Sievert and this game seems to have more points for the kind of game I was looking for initially. Plus it's not early access >_> well, you win some, you lose some. Wishlisting for later!
i like how everyone u murder in this game has a name rather than just a generic title like guard or henchman etc.. would be cool if they added photos of loved ones as well.. like when austin powers kills a henchman and then u see his family & friends being really sad
Was some 1285 square kilometers or roughly 500 square feet wiped out . 80m trees estimated to of been wiped out by the meteor air burst. Was equivalent to like 180 Hiroshimas. If I remember correctly. Coffee hasn't kicked in yet. Brain still foggy.
Please tell me I watch too many movies and the guards eyeball didn’t pop out when he was strangled 🤣 I’m more ok with the idea he just had an eyeball chillin is his pocket for some reason 🤔

I first saw the game in the last video - have it on the wishlist since, but was not convinced.
Now I am. Thank you for your efforts!
Strangling a guard with a knotted garotte? Now *that's* journalism!
Cut-throat journalism XD
This is Stalker,just with top-down view
The start Town is exactly the starter Town from Stalker 1.
Yep I can recognize the place, and I've played Stalker years ago 🤣

watching this gave me so much joy and serenity.
Love your videos, Splattercat
Damn this game got me sold 10 seconds in into the gameplay
The eyeball popped out naturally from your choking him
Nothing exploded there. Mr. T and Chuck Norris have each other a high 5! True story.
now this looks solid, it almost feels like Stalker but then in third person
This game is awesome, I've played through it three times. It definitely has that stalker feeling.
three times... wow, OG ghoul hunter here :)
In most tube pumps there is a wooden dowel that can be removed and you can load more shells

The only reason any shotgun should have less than six shells is if its a double barrel or a itty bitty sawed off

Oh look another one. Can't wait
omg been looking for something like this for some time thanks good sir :D
Oh yea this is actually the rookie village
FYI: Popeyes spinach is a real world brand. 😁
Popeye spinach actually exists. One of the brands you can buy canned.
This is sweet! It'll scratch that stalker itch while waiting for the new game.

Nothing holy happens in basements... Literally a priest.
Reminds me of the game Commandos by Pyro Studios.
Looking forward to you trying my game man!! Keep up the great content!
I have dignity and I'm excited about my youth.
I recommend the game: Fire in the Beastland
Investigative journalism sure has changed a lot since when I was in school. Why didn't anyone tell me about this during career services day.
I think I'd like to try this game out. Looks cool. The good kinda janky. Also, that eyeball tho.... Can we use that for a retinal scanner?
haha good idea :P but later they will be used to create a special serum
It's literally homebrew S.T.A.L.K.E.R. That's so cute! ^_^
Wow that part at 2:50 is an exact copy from Stalker 1 cordon village lol.
“BYOOOOOTIFUL!”
Was some 1285 square kilometers or roughly 500 square feet wiped out . 80m trees estimated to of been wiped out by the meteor air burst. Was equivalent to like 180 Hiroshimas.
If I remember correctly. Coffee hasn't kicked in yet. Brain still foggy.

Huh, I thought this was ATOM RPG for a moment, or a sequel of sorts.
Right!?
24 shotgun shell ksg shotgun
"wow is this magic?"
A spent round stuck in the slide is a "stovepipe".
its like Project Zomboid and Stalker combined
The game looks like have a great inspired on Atom rpg im gonna love that game was hoping it have cross flatform
About the green closed ates, if you've ever been to Russia, you'll see similar gates, usually closed, everywhere
Xavierju7k7kiioecu
cool game will check it out
You call it a Klobb because Goldeneye. Which is a fantastic game so I don't blame you.
AI not triggering anomalies was super jank in Stalker too,
Twitch Stream Tunguska? :D
