Taviana The Origins is a post-apocalyptic survival video game developed by Mayak Game Studios. It is the standalone successor of Origins Mod.

The game plot takes place in an alternate reality in the Taviana SSR — a fictional Soviet republic covering a number of islands tucked away in the Baltic Sea, called the Novistrana archipelago.

It is winter, 1989. Citizens wake up to the breaking news that several people have been infected with an unknown virus and quarantined in the capital's Central Hospital. People initially don't think much of the virus as the first symptoms appear harmless, but they are soon followed by rotting of the skin and decay of the brain. The infected are reduced to bloodthirsty zombies with only primal instincts who now roam the land.

Despite the authorities' reassurances that the situation is under control and their subsequent attempts to contain the outbreak with mass evacuations, and the isolation of whole cities, the virus spreads beyond the islands. Realizing nothing can be done to stop the inevitable, the Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, better known as Mayor George, flees to a secret air force base known as Sector B with high-ranking government officials and other wealthy residents — leaving everyone else to fend for themselves.

A small number of individuals turn out to have a rare genetic mutation which means that they remain unaffected by the virus. This group of people is called the survivors. Some survivors attempt to reach Sector B, but they soon discover that it is guarded by elite mercenaries who are not keen on visitors.

The true origins of the virus are never established. However, several theories exist among the survivors based on legends, speculations, and classified documents found in various government buildings.

As one of the survivors, you are thrust into this post-apocalyptic world with little more than the clothes on your back. The first order of the day is scavenging for food and anything else you can use to survive as you explore the vast remains of your country and make sense of this new world.

Beyond just survival, you can find weapons to protect yourself from the zombies and other players that may want to get their grubby mitts on your loot. The more loot one has, the harder it is to lug it around. So, you can try out your skills as a mechanic and repair some of the vehicles, boats, or aircraft scattered around the map.

Sleeping in your car isn't going to cut it; sooner or later, you'll get found by the zombies, another player, or worse, a bear! What you need is a house. Time to get out the old hacksaw and try out your base-building skills!

Once you've returned some normality to your life and perhaps made a few friends, you can't help but wonder what happened that caused you to get here in the first place. Scattered across the map are documents left behind by those that didn't make it; they speak of Sector B, known as Salvation City among the survivors, an island not just full of rare loot but possibly the answers you're seeking. Curiosity won't let you sleep, so you set off into the unknown. You are about to find out that survival is just the beginning!
