Dark Days (2000) - Marc Singer follows a group of people living in an abandoned section of the New York City underground railway system in the 90s [1:21:42]

Dark Days is an American documentary film directed, produced, and photographed by the English documentarian Marc Singer. Shot during the mid-1990s, it follows a group of people who lived in the so called Freedom Tunnel - a railroad tunnel carrying the West Side Line under Riverside Park in Manhattan, New York City. The filming took two-and-a-half years. Documentary won three awards at the Sundance Film Festival.

Dead Meat, Nick Clausen (2019)

To quote the book itself:
"It seemed so ... solid. All the institutions, law enforcement and military. All the rules and systems that were in place. You’d think a modern society would be able to withstand challenges. But it all just crumbled when this thing got out of hand."

Just finished the series, what a ride! You've got nine books, each describing events that took place during one day. Really "Night of the Living Dead"esque. Action takes place at the beginning of the outbreak in Denmark. The setting makes it a quite different read from traditional US based apocalypse. There’s no widespread gun ownership in Europe, so you'll be following lots of close, in-your-face struggles, usually ending in bites.

The War Game, Peter Watkins (1966)

The only fictional documentary that won Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. Despite being produced for BBC it was withdrawn from airing in 1965, after causing dismay with its depiction of violence and human suffering. Mind you, the film questions the survivability of a nuclear attack despite following the government guidance. The TV ban didn't forbid the cinematic distribution.

Triple-feature along with The Day After, Nicholas Meyer (1983) and Threads, Mick Jackson (1984).

Amazing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. lore videos

Anomalous Dugout's channel has been on my radar for a few years now. Lots of in-depth, scrutinizing detail videos about various lore bits of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s universe.

I loved scouring forums and reading fan theories leading up to the initial game's launch and also after each new installment was released, this channel scratches that itch. It's a crime to see low view count of such content.

Peripeteia

Peripeteia is an upcoming first-and-third-person role-playing stealth game taking place in alt-history cyberpunk Poland. Inspired by immersive sims from Ion Storm and Looking Glass Studios, Peripeteia expands on the formula with new ideas and an original setting.

Huge levels with multiple viable paths to get to the objective, with different ways to approach the actual mission. As a mercenary you get to pick or juggle agendas of three different factions while completing your tasks. Resource based access to augmented cybernetics. Shares D.N.A. with Deus Ex, E.Y.E, Half-Life 2 Beta.

Highly recommend to check the available demos, especially "The Chasm" level as it is the most representative of the style of levels, that we're going to get with the full release.

Comes out this year.
