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.

这是我玩过最浪漫的游戏,或者我甚至可以说,它就是浪漫本身。 第一次体会到什么叫爱满溢出来,导致我真的无法一次玩完这个游戏,必须要中途休息,平复一下自己的情绪。 另外,我的生日也是12月28日。
I think if I could only read 1 story in my life, I would pick this one.
I could write a dozen pages full of everything I love about this game but I don't wanna sound like a chatterbox. This game is such a gorgeous, nostalgic and the most depressing yet hopeful game I've probably ever come across. Wonderfully written characters (Marina is SOOOOOOO RELATABLE), really cute sprites and beautiful ambience. I think you'll just finish the game wanting to give everyone a hug (you can skip Vadim if you want, but if he's right about something is that you're gay).

That makes sense :D
raw, short, and phenomenal [spoiler] [ я тебя люблю. я тебя люблю. я тебя люблю ] [ I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU ] [/spoiler]
这个制作真的非常牛。无论是op还是正文,还是cg,都非常精美,音乐特别好听,画面也有视觉效果。 剧情中可能暗含隐喻的地方我没有太看懂,我觉得阿莎雅非常异于常人,她好像比其他人都更渺小,又好像比其他人更宏大,可能她自己就像宇宙,并且深深的爱着。 我其实觉得阿莎雅像白切黑切白。 [spoiler] 玛丽娜这个角色我非常喜欢,本来印象是幽默风趣的家伙,鬼点子颇多的那种,结果居然是演出来的,并且也只有在信任的人面前才会放松下来……能被玛丽娜信任的话我觉得其实挺幸福的。 伊拉真的令我难受,,如果没有这个病症的话,哪怕她们不会因此相识,但也能在各自的生活中过得幸福。 结局真是又难受又难受的,一句“我爱你”是一个孩子用尽了她的一生所呐喊出来的。短暂的一生,她却又无限的爱着。阿莎雅,我搞不懂你。[/spoiler]
在世界的中心呼唤爱的野兽
