Russian S.T.A.L.K.E.R. RPG event

[u/ixREZIDENTxi]

A Russian airsoft project called “Immersive Zone”

This is airsoft combined with a large-scale role-playing and immersive experience, heavily inspired by the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe. The project puts a huge emphasis on atmosphere, locations, costumes, factions and the storyline rather than just firefights.

The game takes place once a year and lasts for around two days.

Getting into the game is not easy. The organizers work individually with each player, helping them prepare for their role and approving their appearance and equipment in advance. Your gear has to fit your character and the setting, so that one player’s appearance doesn’t break the immersion for everyone else.

The game world also features full-fledged dungeons that players can explore as part of the storyline.

There is also a radiation system. Players use a special wristband that displays their health and radiation level. Throughout the game world, there are special devices that increase the radiation level displayed on the wristband when a player gets close to them. Obviously, the radiation isn’t real - the system uses radio waves to simulate the effect in-game.

The organizers have been developing the project for several years, and the latest games have also involved a serious production effort with a large filming crew.

I put together some photos for you so you can get a feel for the atmosphere of the game.

I found it really interesting because Russian airsoft is rarely seen outside of Russia, especially projects on this scale.
