About

Shadows of Kurgansk is a single player horror survival title that transports players into a dark and hostile environment called “The Zone”, it challenges them to escape from the haunted area both alive and with their sanity intact. Dangerous enemy attacks are the least of your concern compared to the real nightmares that await: a wrong foot in the quest to escape can lead to anomalies that can slow players down, drive them insane or even kill them. The character might starve to death or be driven mad unless the player exploits resources in the environment and improves their character. Search, hunt, and discover to stay alive.
