Logged in after dinner, figuring I'd run one short loop through the Zone and quit. Ended up pinned in a gutted lab for half an hour while an anomaly storm chewed through the hallway outside; could hear the Geiger ticking and someone else's boots on the floor above.
The pacing's off once you start looting. One minute you're checking desk drawers, the next you're deciding whether to fight or flee because a patrol just rerouted into the same building, and then another ten minutes disappear while you wait for an exit route to open.
STALZONE handles the border shifts better than most survival games, but the constant threat of losing your haul still pushes you to keep moving even when you'd rather hole up and sort inventory. I logged off still thinking about a half-finished barter I wanted to finish, which means I'll probably be back tomorrow whether I plan to or not.
