The Cutting Room Floor
The Cutting Room Floor is a site dedicated to unearthing and researching unused and cut content from video games. From debug menus, to unused music, graphics, enemies, or levels, many games have content never meant to be seen by anybody but the developers — or even meant for everybody, but cut due to time/budget constraints.
Feel free to browse our collection of games and start reading. Up for research? Try looking at some stubs and see if you can help us out. Just have some faint memory of some unused menu/level you saw years ago but can't remember how to access it? Feel free to start a page with what you saw and we'll take a look. If you want to help keep this site running and help further research into games, feel free to donate.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky serves as a prequel to Shadow of Chernobyl, further elaborating on The Zone’s many mysteries. Clear Sky was released only a year after the previous game, utilizing ideas that were abandoned during Shadow of Chernobyl’s prolonged development.
While Clear Sky didn’t suffer from a lengthy development, there’s still plenty of cut content lurking within, including cut weapons, quests, audio, and dialogue.
