The finale of the remarkable modification "Wind of Time" (version 1.3) brings us to the walls of the X8 laboratory, where an Unknown Essence appears before us - an ethereal, but powerful spirit created by the genius of O-Consciousness. The main character is faced with a difficult task - to survive in confrontation with the spirit, while we are forbidden to use any weapon. The only thing we can do is run around the laboratory rooms and pick up more first-aid kits.

Immediately upon entering the final location of the Wind of Time mod, the Unknown Entity starts a dialogue with us. According to the plot, we need to find the control point of O-Consciousness, but the labyrinths of the laboratory do not lead us anywhere. We have to outwit the disembodied monster. It is not clear to us where to go and what to do. The only thing we see on the map is the marked corpse of a scientist. Having searched his body, we get nothing we need, except for a note about an Unknown Entity that has gone out of control.

To go through the confusing finale of the "Wind of Time" modification, do the following:

• We go into the large hall of the laboratory, where there are six large iron tanks. We do not go down, but we pass to the left into the distant opening. We see the descent down.
• Below, in front of the iron door with a combination lock, the Entity stops us again and says that it will not let me into the control room.
• After a long dialogue with the creature, we are teleported to the lower tiers of the laboratory, where the Unknown Entity begins to kill us - the main character is burned with chemical anomalies, objects are thrown at him, the brain is burned out with psi radiation, etc.
• Our task is simply to eat first-aid kits and survive this moment of the game, because there is nothing more we can do. During psi attacks, you can take psi blockade pills, and during chemical attacks, you can take chemical defense pills.
• We go up the stairs, which is behind the boxes. Again we find ourselves in a dialogue with the creature, now they are trying to strangle us with poisonous gas. The one who was dressed in the "Seva" suit with a closed breathing system acted prudently, otherwise we eat first-aid kits.
• After running around the location a minute later, the dialogue opens again. This time the Unknown Entity asks us - how best to kill us?
• We need to deceive the Essence, to tell us to be killed, to take and tore apart our body. Do not answer the creature that you do not need to kill us, on the contrary, we act on the contrary in order to stun the disembodied spirit.
• As a result, the Unknown Entity asks us to turn off the power installations in order to go into oblivion and calm down, we agree.
• But we are offered the last test, so that fate determines our survival - two teleports - one leads to death, and the second - sends to the room with the O-Consciousness feeding devices that need to be turned off.
• At this point, we just save and go at random to one of the teleports. If we have not guessed right and swim as in zero gravity, then we are doomed to death - we load and try again, if we see a long corridor with a door in front of us, then our goal is close.
• Next, we go to the control room, turn off all the switches of the power plants.
• This is the end of the difficult stage. We are watching the dialogue with the projection of Professor Kalanchi, and then we are transferred to Novikov.
• We run after Novikov, covering him from snorks and zombies. Together we launch the installation, read the last dialogue with Novikov - the game is completed!

About modification

The mod is partially a remake of the final version of PM. The plot of the modification is based on the original version of PM.

Background

In the fall of 2014, in the vicinity of the Exclusion Zone, the largest emission in history occurred, as a result of which the Zone began to absorb more and more large areas of the Earth, threatening the existence of life on the planet. In 2048, a time machine is invented, and its creator, Professor Demyanenko, has a plan to save humanity, which consists in sending a military specialist into the past who is able to understand the causes of emissions and prevent it.

Game process

Despite the fact that the plot of the mod originates in the future, there are absolutely no elements of fiction in the mod, with the exception of the world of the Zone, invented by the developers from GSC Game World. There are no blasters in the mod (with the exception of the gauss cannon, if you can call it that), starships, aliens, wars with space people and the like.
The main action takes place in 2014 and is a continuation of the original trilogy.
The plot of the mod is calm and semi-freeplay, it does not lead the player along the rails. Completing the main quests, new levels open with additional tasks, some of which will lead to unique locations.

Major changes

• there are elements of mysticism and horror;
• redesigned artifact system;
• animation of weapons from the Re-Animation Project 2 mod;
• the structure of dialogues with ordinary NPCs in the manner of the RFP.

Graphics:

Used developments

Absolute Nature, Shocker Weapon Mod, Path in the Haze, Despite Death, Valley of Rustles, Pripyat: Starting Point, STCoP, Cubic Mini Mod, Spatial anomaly, Call of Chernobyl, SWTC, Re-Animation. If you notice your own development in the fashion, but it is not included in any of these mods, then I apologize, since I do not remember all other people's developments that were used in the development of the modification.

Possible problems and solutions

In fashion, not everything is smooth and perfect, so revision is planned. The mod can crash quite often, so save as often as possible.
Before lowering the bridge in the Red Forest, be sure to save, then press the button. Also, do not save while the bridge is lowering. All of this can lead to bridge problems and crashes.
Very rarely crashes without a log at the stage of loading the save. If this happens, reload the save.
Research Institute Agroprom - for unknown reasons, a very problematic place, the only one in the game. Try not to save on this location at all and not to die on it. Loading / saving at this location very often leads to a crash. If, when switching from Bar or Yantar to Agroprom, crashes when loading, try to load an autosave until the location is loaded without a departure.
