Set in the fictional Eastern European country of Ghulovka, amidst a terrible civil war, Affliction allows players to take on the role of Vasya, a patient plagued by nightmares and fractured memories, who awakes inside of a cell in a bizarre research facility where grim human experiments are taking place. With no memory of their reason for being there, players are forced to fight for their survival through a hellish catastrophe while frantically seeking answers to discover the truth behind their identity and unveil the mystery surrounding the horrific true purpose of the complex.
Venture into the Triglav Complex: an abandoned, cold war era, soviet military research base whose original purpose involved developmental weapons. Now, the derelict compound is operating once again with similar intent. A dreadfully dangerous and highly classified chemical weapon known only as Morana has been under design for years, but has become too difficult to control and containment has been breached.
Experience the terrifying possibilities of human experimentation, biological manipulation, and chemical warfare from a first person perspective. The game features many different locations to explore including a disturbing research facility, a dark wilderness, a desolate city, and more. Exploration can be rewarding, but it can also be very unforgiving.
Adapt and use extreme caution with every choice as there are also many different types of enemies who will bring a grisly demise to anyone foolish enough to underestimate them. Military death squads tasked to purge, ghastly mutants hunting to feed, and renegade anarchists attempting to resist are only some of the many hazards that await.

Cheers OP, I installed this, the game plays well and I like it. Weirdly though, it takes about 5 minutes to load a saved game. Even if I have just loaded up that same saved game, played for about 30 seconds and died; reloading that same saved game again takes another ~5 minutes. It's like some sort of bizarro reversion to the early to mid 1980s when cassette decks were plugged into computers and games were (very slowly) loaded up that way.
Has anyone else experienced this?!?
[I have a decent laptop btw, SSD drive, plenty of HD space/RAM, dedicated graphics card, etc.; it's just bizarre!]
