A thoroughly curious blend of genres this one with The Zone: Stalker Stories offering up exploration, deckbuilding, card battles and RPG elements. On top of that, you're also getting treated to a visual novel styled story that's being carefully crafted by industry veterans from Illuminated Games who worked on the likes of Mount&Blade, The Next World and more. 

Inspired by the likes of Slay the Spire, S.T.A.L.K.E.R and Darkest Dungeon it's not going to be a roguelike, instead their plan is to offer a richly detailed story experience with hand-crafted environments with plenty to explore and secrets to find.

Are they sure there are no IP issues with this game? They might run into issues regarding either the books or the games...

Or the movie?

Anyhow, it doesn't quite pass the "idiot in a hurry" test. But in the end I guess it's the same situation as with Ion Maiden/Ion Fury. It all depends on how expensive a lawyer the trademark holder have, and how big jerks they are.
