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.

Reviews
Zato is a great game. If I had to compare the experience to something it’d be to that of Serial Experiments Lain. While playing as Asya you get to experience the awkwardness that is her life and feel her view on the world and universe. This game is definitely a must play if you love slice of life with something a little more insightful and mystical mixed inside.
i love it

说不上是一篇足以改变世界的旷世神作,但对上电波的那一刻足以成为我一生的挚爱,完全的震撼,说不上缘由的感动,后劲很大,我的眼眶一直湿湿的。 封闭的系统固然有一套他自己的运作系统,一条直线上的任何曲折波动在宏大系统下都不足为过,所以在看清这个世界,这个宇宙,这个巨大的无法被干预的圆环后,你选择逃避还是放弃这一切?不知道明天是否还会到来,所以会害怕吗。即使明天是世界末日,今天也要努力向宇宙发出讯息吗。就算你的存在本身就是巨大的扭曲,依然会选择关心这个世界吗。我不知道答案,但我的存在是宇宙的旨意,所以我爱这个可爱的它,想要学会珍惜它给我的一切。你问我这个游戏真的给我带来了什么东西,好像简单到只剩下爱。但这足够浪漫了。 完全值得的五个半小时,文本和视听都是顶级,比起完全空洞的哲学探讨和各种晦涩的理论解释,zato带给我的思考和震撼已经超过很多作品。。。好这口的话请务必一玩。 我爱你。我爱你。我爱你。
花了差不多4个半小时,很有新意,喜欢

很不错推荐
분위기가 좋고 캐릭터가 귀여워용
窗外是一成不变的飞鸟与望不到头的动土 宇宙啊能否听到我的声音 那就让我以自身为天线 向全世界传达我满溢的爱 在这压抑的雪国 飞雪朝天空飘起 我向世界发送电波 请聆听我的讯号 Я люблю тебяЯ люблю этот мир и всё, что в нём есть I love you. я тебя люблю. Пожалуйста, послушай мой сигнал
能对上百分之七十的电波,游戏旨在让你相信爱,爱自己,爱世界,当你的讯号足够强烈世界一定会听到
Ну как фильм норм, а как новелла не очень (Выбора нету (В чём прикол новелл тогда?). Персонажи вроде хорошо прописанные
