Introduction[]
Radiation is a major mechanic in the game. It makes multiple things in the game more difficult, like mining uranium, as being close to the ores will raise the player's radiation levels. The amount of radiation is indicated by a Geiger counter on the bottom left side of the screen, on top off all other stats.
Mechanical[]
Radioactive objects and places include radioactive ghouls, uranium ore, the Irradiated City, and green barrels. If the player goes close to these objects or places, the needle on the Geiger counter will start to move. If the needle moves to the red zone, the player will lose health until they die or the needle leaves the zone. Without protection, it takes 10 seconds for the player to reach max radioactivity.
When the player is irradiated, a sound resembling a Geiger counter will play, getting louder the more the needle advances.
