Description
Somewhere in Europe, there is a forbiden zone. Lying in the heart of this zone is Pripyat, at one time a model city inhabited by some 50 000 people. On April 26, 1986, an invisible enemy forced the residents of Pripyat and surrounding villages to evacuate the area in order to escape. Constructed in the early 1970s, Pripyat is now a ghost town. The land it was constructed upon has reverted back to its natural state, but traces of its former occupants are still visible some twenty years after.
