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.

It feels like this game was written for me. Which is of course entirely self-centered. Thank you either way <3
Я тебя люблю Я тебя люблю Я тебя люблю
Very surreal experience. Honestly, if I were you I would skip reading any reviews and just go into this game as blind as you can. I would probably put this up there with Serial Experiments Lain in terms of story telling. I can easily see a 5 hour YouTube analysis on this game in the future. 8.5/10

最无声的爱,最敞亮的沉默
Love the mirror in front of you and everything in it.
沉浸感和代入感真的强,通关后对我自己的现实感到陌生 但最重要的是,我接收到了结尾的信号 我体会到了那一份对 你 的爱意
very cool game
С любовью
I really loved the experience and the aesthetic of the game. To some point, Asya is really relatable and easy to insert myself as like an unconscious soul. I would've had nothing bad to say if the last bit of the game hadn't ruined it for me. It felt very rushed towards the end and felt very unpredictable. I do love the games message either way. Would recommend. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU.
