* SerialNumbersFiledOff: The Moscow's info-commandos are stalkers, [[Literature/RoadsidePicnic the original deal]], in everything but the name.
* TooBleakStoppedCaring: As expected from a setting where "the war is over - the machines have won". The typical crapsack nature of post-apocalyptic settings is dialed up to eleven in just about every aspect, while there is very limited space to affect the situation from player characters level, making it more of a (particularly bleak) survival horror than anything else.
