Chernobylite: Game graphics and reality in a video comparison

Before the post-apocalyptic survival RPG Chernobylite leaves the early access phase at the end of July, the developers use videos to illustrate how detailed regions around the real Chernobyl were transferred into the game.

As a kind of mixture of stalker and fear, Chernobylite started the Early Access program on Steam in October 2019 after a successful Kickstarter campaign. The role-play mixes survival, combat and horror elements with a sci-fi setting in the exclusion zone around Chernobyl, which was destroyed by the nuclear disaster and which was visualized from the real world using a 3D scan.

New videos show how much the game graphics move in the original by comparing scenes from the real world with the virtual world. On the one hand, you can see the Emerald Summer Camp, a former holiday camp on the banks of the cooling pond of the Chernobyl power plant. On the other hand, Cafe Pripyat served as a template.

On July 28, 2021 Chernobylite will leave the early access phase and will appear “final” on Steam. For the most part, the ratings from players are currently positive, but bugs and crashes are also repeatedly criticized, which the Polish indie studio The Farm 51 should still eliminate.
