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.

The game has some deep moral or something, but I think my brain is not evolved enough to understand it. Sending a love confession into the cosmos probably has some deep meaning to it but my type of message would be: .. -- .- --. .. -. . / -... . .. -. --. / .- -. / .- .-.. .. . -. --..-- / .-.. .. ...- .. -. --. / --- -. / .- / .--. .-.. .- -. . - --..-- / .- -. -.. / - .... .. -. -.- .. -. --. / - .... .- - / -... . -.-. .- ..- ... . / -.-- --- ..- / .- -. -.. / -.-- --- ..- .-. / -.-. --- -- -- ..- -. .. - -.-- / .-.. .. ...- . -.. / - .... . .-. . / -.-- --- ..- / ... --- -- . .... --- .-- / --- .-- -. / - .... .- - / .--. .-.. .- -. . - / .-.. -- .- --- .-.-.- / -. --- .--. . --..-- / .. - / -... . .-.. --- -. --. ... / - --- / .... ..- -- .- -. .. - -.-- .-.-.-

A bit ♥♥♥♥ pacing, i didnt realise it was fantasy until 2/3 of the game and at that point it just kinda feels like, yeah alr, ig its fantasy. Some parts also drag on a bit. Could be a lot better if it gave more sprinkles of the fantasy parts and have the player question stuff, because as of now its mostly just stuff that makes too little sense for you to come up with your own ideas and i thought it wasnt a fantasy game for the most part so when it then hit with the "fantasy stuff" it felt a bit arbitrary 7.5/10
我会爬的高高的,凝视天空,调整自己的角度,让发射轨迹恰到好处。 接着,我会以此生最强的功率传输,我会嘶吼着 “谢谢你”和“我爱你”, 声音大到让方圆三千公里内的所有人,都在他们的心脏、骨骼和肌肉深处感受到震颤。
我爱你 我爱你 我爱你 .-.- - . -... .-.- .-.. ..-- -... .-.. ..-- .-.- - . -... .-.- .-.. ..-- -... .-.. ..-- .-.- - . -... .-.- .-.. ..-- -... .-.. ..--
what a cute game, with a cute message and cute atmosphere in general it's a very comforting VN with no serious issues if you're not expecting anything extraordinary or groundbreaking, everything about it is unique and i really enjoyed it in spite of the shorter length, lack of super deep character development and things like dedicated soundtrack
Good!!
