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.

El universo es infinito, y por ello alberga infinitas posibilidades todas ellas hechas realidad en una medida infinita. Es ilimitadamente grande, silencioso y bello. No es una pregunta de "si el universo tuviera" - el universo tiene conciencia y unos sentimientos. Desde su incomprensible infinidad, nos observa a nosotros, pequeños, insignificantes, y finitos. Y aún así nos quiere. Nos ama profundamente, infinitamente, eternamente, Nosotros, desde lo alto de nuestras pequeñas casas, respondemos al cielo: " Te amo , te amo , te amo . " / / / Es una vergüenza que esta novela visual sea gratis. Si fuera fisicamente capaz de llorar habría soltado una pequeña lagrima. Muy bonita, muy disfrutable, muy bella. Completamente recomendable.
Love it to pieces

This game in and of itself teaches you how to love it. Despite the questions unanswered, despite the vagueness of the message, I love this game and everything in it.
