About
USSR, 1986. When Ira Grachevskaya goes missing in the closed city of Vorkuta-5, not a soul seems to be concerned – except for the quiet outcast Asya Shubina, that is. Uncover the mystery behind Ira’s disappearance, transmit your radio signal to the universe and learn why a bird flies past the window.
Meet the cast.

A problem child and a truant, Ira doesn't have the best reputation. Her standoffish demeanor makes her difficult to talk to, especially for someone as meek as you. There is a rumour she's been meeting with an older man.

Marina's carefree personality makes her quite popular among her classmates. Adults don't seem to like her very much, probably due to poor grades. Despite the girl's outgoing nature, her worldview is rather cynical.

A boy with an unpleasant sense of humour. Likes picking on people weaker than him, namely you. His family has been a little out of it the past few weeks.

You. Not worth writing about.
Z.A.T.O. is a linear visual novel with roughly 7-8 hours of playtime. There are no choices. The ending is predetermined. Sit back and enjoy your time in a town that doesn't exist.
DISCLAIMER: the game contains strong language, loud noises and flickering images.

A true labor of love with beautiful art and unique style. I love this game and everything in it, and I can't believe it's free.
我爱死她们了,可爱,疯狂,又电波系的三小只,伊拉消失的那段时间里,发生了好多事。。。随后,玛丽娜也开始变得逐渐不正常,或者说,逐渐撕开了正常的外表,露出了原有的创伤。当阿雅莎去看玛丽娜的时候,你是否看见了玛丽娜憔悴的面庞,着实让我心碎。。阿雅莎,抱抱她吧,抱抱她吧。。当伊拉再次出现之时,我的心里翻起一层惊涛骇浪,眼眶已然温润。是这世界太残忍?是这疾病太无情?我怜悯,我共情,我为她们的破碎心生悲楚,她们此时的状态,正如苏联那凌冽寒风的永冻土层,不见天日,不见希望。我一直觉得,只有悲剧才能在人类的文学长河里名垂青史,只有最深沉的苦难才能刻骨铭心,但我祈求,im begging you,让她们幸福吧,不要再让这残酷的世界挖去她们的灵魂了。。。

全篇没有选项,只有一个结局。刚玩的时候还有点看不懂。游戏里出现cg时代表切换人物视角。出现信号中断之类的字样时代表出现了一些想象中的,类似幻觉之类的东西,故事背景在前苏联,结局有现实原型。美术风格我挺喜欢的,游戏流程在6到7个小时左右。
This is the only game that has made me want to kill myself one night, then the next morning make me feel such immense love for the world. Unfortunately Asya is a near perfect mirror of myself, and I hate myself, but I love her, so perhaps I have some introspection to do. One of the best stories I've ever read. Ah, in addition, it seems that steam did not properly save my playtime as I played it when my wifi was out - I have read the whole thing, it just needed a minimum recorded time open when online to allow me to post the review

One of the few unique visual novels that dives into some pretty interesting topics. The writing is clean, but cryptic in some spots, though the writer probably intended it to be that way. It has a bit of a slow start, but the characters and story start to warm up to me. I was interested to learn more. The music is really nice. The art is well drawn. For a free VN, it was pretty lengthy as well. I enjoyed the play through. It was bitter sweet.
献给挚爱的你。
What a lovely game, the visual styling and presentation is exceptional and Asya's interiority is so vivid that I had momentary flashbacks to the times I dissociated in 10th grade English class. Find out why a bird flies past a window.
