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.

I imagined Ira throwing a hundred chairs. A hundred chairs flying towards a hundred Garins.

我爱你。
我爱这个游戏。我爱这个游戏。我爱这个游戏。
自卑,也是一种骄傲;爱宇宙,也是爱自己。即使世界末日,这份爱也会喷薄而出。结局实在浪漫,充斥着一种自毁般的暴烈的美。
电波作 选曲很有意境 意识流的地方绝了 最后[spoiler] 我爱你我爱你我爱你我爱你 [/spoiler]
This visual novel is amazing. I randomly came across it while scrolling through steam a while ago, saw that it was free, and added it to my library. I then forgot about it for 3 or 4 months. I can't remember. About two weeks ago, I finally decided to install and play it. It took me about 2-3 weeks to finish, I usually read it on Friday nights for a few hours. It motivated me to continue to write, It inspired me to write another story, bleh im too lazy to continue typing here its free and a pretty good psychological horror vn go get it I Love the World and Everything In It
