A recent map mod showcases what the atmospheric game could achieve with some added graphical touches. Talented map modder, Black Horizon, has recently showcased his upcoming creation; a set of custom map levels based on various different places such as Pripyat, Chernobyl, and a deteriorated urban China. You can see his (in progress) works below:
Pripyat
Chernobyl
