Ukrainian developer Vladislav Tsvetkov personally created a functional pocket personal computer in the style of the STALKER universe. The device is designed for viewing collectible cards, reading their descriptions, and listening to thematic audio messages.
Currently, the first technical prototype of the homemade gadget is up for auction. According to the author, the current bid for the custom device has already reached 6,500 UAH.
Visually, the gadget follows the idea of stalker devices from previous versions of the game. The device's case is printed on a 3D printer. As the developer himself notes, this case is "not serial, but adapted for the Zone," while the internal filling is assembled based on components from several old PDA models.

The device is equipped with a touch screen and physical control buttons, including navigation and special keys. It runs on a built-in battery with support for charging via the USB-C port. The gadget also has an MP3 player and a speaker. An archive of 48 cards is loaded into the system's memory, which are accompanied by descriptions and audio materials of research from scientists.
The author classifies the device as a technical prototype and notes that there will be no mass production. However, he does not rule out the possibility of creating several more copies later specifically "for real fans."
As a reminder, as part of the promotional campaign for the Ukrainian shooter STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, the ATB supermarket chain, together with the game developers GSC Game World, released a limited collection of cards. The campaign caused a significant stir among the Ukrainian community, and the cards themselves quickly became collectible and resold on marketplaces.
