My most anticipated game of the year is GSC Game World's Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, the sequel to one of the most special FPS experiences on PC. Heavily inspired by the novel Roadside Picnic, the special sauce with Stalker is the setting of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. It's desolate, terrifying, filled with the ambience of a dead world being slowly re-taken by the living..
Because that's what I want from Stalker 2, a place to get lost in. The original's Zone is one of those places that lives with you long after finishing the game, all of which might explain why GSC Game World has decided to officially release a 30-minute long YouTube ASMR video featuring Zone noises.Yes I agree: It might not seem the most obvious fit.
If you stay away from such corners of the internet, ASMR of course stands for autonomous sensory meridian response: In other words, the tingling satisfaction some folks get from all sorts of noises, whether that's rustling or whistling. Or the plaintive wail of a giant radioactive beastie that needs shooting., and at this point I just want November 20 to roll around. The hype train is heading straight to the Zone, and I'm fully on-board—typing away to my Stalker ASMR.
