Why Is Z:SS Special?In the briefest possible terms, The Zone: Stalker Stories is one part top-down RPG, one part deck builder/card battler, and one part rich visual novel.
But IG, you might ask, in this crowded market of things constantly competing for our attention, why is Zone worthy of my time and support?
Well, we like to think we're offering something that you can't find anywhere else.
There's features which we felt have been missing in other deck-builders, like the lush overworld maps to explore and seek out adventure, in a perspective that's never been explored in games inspired by STALKER and Roadside Picnic.
We've got a singular visual style, bursting with beautiful hand-drawn art, as well as a sound that's all our own.
Our inventory system is unique in that it lets you change your deck composition and various passive bonuses almost at will, however you like.
And perhaps our biggest strength, something which our past games have always been praised for, is story. Zone will have a full proper plot and dialogue written by industry veterans. Though our demo doesn't currently have voice acting, it's a likely future addition.
This demo is what we've put together with a bare handful of people -- 3 artists, 1 composer, and me doing everything else -- all in our spare time with virtually no budget. Imagine what it could become with your support!
[ 2020-06-09 17:00:28 CET ] [ Original post ] This is
the Zone -- a post-apocalyptic world where strangeness and confusion are the norm, filled with treasure, danger, exploration and strategic card battles.
Advance through environments filled with deadly anomalies and twisted abominations. Unearth artifacts of incomprehensible power, and use them. Develop your psionic abilities to the limit and blow away your enemies with the power of your mind.
Inspired by games such as
Slay the Spire,
S.T.A.L.K.E.R and
Darkest Dungeon,
the Zone seeks to seamlessly blend exploration, card battles and RPG elements, with a rich story crafted by industry veterans (
Mount&Blade,
The Next World).
