The Chornobyl disaster, the worst nuclear disaster in history, remains etched in public memory. Yet, its real-world consequences are often overlooked. Chornobyl Liquidators, an upcoming immersive sim from Live Motion Games and Frozen Way, aims to shed light on this history. Set to release in June, the game will immerse players in the roles of Liquidators, the brave individuals who confronted the aftermath of the 1986 nuclear disaster.
Drawing from historical documents and artifacts, Chornobyl Liquidators promises an authentic portrayal of the event, interwoven with a gripping fictional narrative. Unlike other games set in Chornobyl, there will be no mutated creatures or anomalies caused by radiation. Instead, players will confront the raw consequences of the reactor failure, including a stress mechanic that can lead to heart attacks.
The game will present multiple endings and will immerse players in different perspectives and episodes that occurred between late April and mid-September 1986. From the perspectives of firefighters to soldiers, players will participate directly or indirectly in these historical events.
Chornobyl Liquidators is a mature and emotionally engaging narrative that incorporates moral decision-making. It seeks to commemorate the disaster and its victims, while also exploring its lasting impact on the region and the world.
