Story
Pro-American forces came to power in the country and American peacekeepers were introduced into Russia to "restore order and the final declaration of democracy." In fact, foreigners were only interested in natural resources.
Maintaining order and welfare of the civilian population was not part of the military contingent. After the self-dissolution of governing bodies, the military and the police, a large part of the population of the provincial Ural town “Thirty” was mired in a bloody civil war.
The player acts as a marauder Akhmet, who has to survive in this situation. Starting the game with a double-barreled shotgun and a bunch of rounds of ammunition, the player will have to assemble a "family" (a detachment of one to four people), arm it and survive in a constant war of "all against all."
