One of the most challenging aspects of MISERY is its brutal economy. The lore of MISERY states that Ukraine is in the midst of a major recession. Resources are scarce, and what is available is extremely expensive, probably due to hyper-inflation. - Iain @CD
Stalker: Legacy of Times was an attempt to create a STALKER-inspired game on CryEngine 2, however, its dev team announced its official cancellation.
