The game is more like the Stalker movie than the book.
In the book there were research missions and active urban life as well as smuggling, whereas the movie is spearheaded on going through the Zone while uninvited. The movie also has the post-apoc vibe whereas the book does not. The whole point of book is co-existence of the unknown with normal(ish) human society.
