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.

raw, short, and phenomenal [spoiler] [ я тебя люблю. я тебя люблю. я тебя люблю ] [ I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU ] [/spoiler]
Beautiful story. A nice Soviet twist on the classic — for VNs, that is (although still very much a niche within a niche) — genre of denpa.

It feels like this game was written for me. Which is of course entirely self-centered. Thank you either way <3
абсолют синема. по ощущению как врата штейна + експериментs лейн
good
Love the mirror in front of you and everything in it.
为了那份对世界的爱,你愿意做到何种地步?假如世界会在乎,那就穿过平流层。到达世界的无限去说我爱你吧,到了那时,不会再有任何事,比爱更重要了。回到游戏本身,不建议玩家一口气玩完,因为一口气玩完之后,我觉得这是我遇见过的后劲最大的游戏,它值得让你慢慢咀嚼
沉浸感和代入感真的强,通关后对我自己的现实感到陌生 但最重要的是,我接收到了结尾的信号 我体会到了那一份对 你 的爱意
Beautiful visuals, soulful characters, immersing atmosphere and breathtaking story. I recommend this visual novel from the bottom of my heart.
