The player must survive living in the wasteland and complete their goals (in some cases, it's finding a way to restore the water production equipment inside your vault, in others it is trying to find your father, who fled the vault to continue his project to bring drinkable water to the outside world).
Stalker is a survival game series that takes place now, in the radiation zones around Pripyat.
The intro video is like something out of a 90s video game, and doesn't explain anything about it, so I'll skip posting it.
