''Roadside Picnic'', like the above titles, focus on the Alienated Zones, where debris and items ejected by visiting extraterrestrials are concentrated. These Zones are filled with bizarre anomalies and physics-defying objects, ranging from having the sun appear to stay still all the time, to two pieces of metal that forever repel and attract each other.
