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.

For i cannot stand on an objective standpoint to rate this game as it is subjective to each and every person's external perception of many problems. Subjectively speaking, i would recommend this game to anyone as each and every of them will perceive the meaning differently, but it will definitely be an insightful one at that. I just want to say that you should try this game without searching up external reviews, settings of the game or anything akin as it will detrimentally give you a very wrong look on the game's content for better or for worse. Finally, I love you.
原来这种作品被称作电波作啊。。。这种前苏联以致延续至今的悲伤,就像,像是一大片雪,我情不自禁让全部的我投入进去,感受这无暇白雪带来的刺骨寒意,我喜欢这种感觉。。。回到游戏,真是可爱的游戏,最大的特色就是Asya的心理描写了吧,很能让人共情,总之,非常棒的游戏,每个地方都带着制作者的爱意,我很喜欢。

????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU.
Primeiramente temos que citar essa arte fenomenal, q arte incrivel pprt, facilmente muitas artes dai podem virar seu wallpaper, segundamente, os personagens, é incrível o quanto o jogo se aprofunda na visão de mundo da asya(protagonista), e por mais que ela seja um pouco esquizofrênica ainda é incrível <3. E terceiramente nós amamos ZATO e tudo que há nele Caso vc queira, tem tradução feita por fans que é incrível tbm
Хоть и концовка остаётся сильно открытой, но игра всё равно хороша, никогда не думал что мне будет интересно играть в визуальную новеллу
非常好的时尚单品,使我的小头旋转
Brilliant
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。
