The game is set two years after the original, which followed a rookie Soviet ATOM agent tasked with venturing into the post-apocalyptic wastes of the USSR several decades after a nuclear exchange with NATO. That agent discovered a new threat that could destroy the already scattered remnants of humanity. In the sequel, players are sent to a ruined metropolis that might contain what humanity needs to fend off the threat revealed at the end of the original game. Besides a new story, Trudograd features numerous enhancements, tweaks, and upgrades that were requested by the community since the first game launched nearly two years ago.
