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.

触动人心的神作文游!在漫天飘雪的封闭式苏联小镇背景下,在镇上唯一一所学校里。少年们的相遇,无论是痛苦还是美好,欺凌还是保护。在太阳之下都显得那么可爱。很适合晚上开始推直到主角发送电波,窗外渐白太阳升起。会有让人爱上世界的感触。
Niña se autoinduce sindrome de estocolmo hacia el amor fati. Es corto, lo recomiendo.
this is obscenely good and in my idiot opinion actually compares favorably to many VN classics (that i've read at least)
