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.

세상이 너무 아름답네요 사랑해 사랑해 사랑해
Крутая вроде игра. Но я когда играла забывала сохраняться и вдруг отключили свет и включают через 5 секунд ну а я ведь ленивая падла приходиться идти смотреть пересказ. Не буду ведь диалоги скипать до тех пор где я остановилась а я играла 5 часов без сохранения :/

Miré por algunos foros a varías personas que tenían este juego en muy alta estima... y por ello he decidido probarlo, ahora que lo he terminado por completo francamente no me gusto, después del prólogo el comienzo no fue el más motivador para comenzar a leer ésta Novela Visual, después de ello se da el contexto de el porque de la situación pero sinceramente... Antes de ello casi abandonó Z.A.T.O. por completo. Me gustó como se fueron desarrollando las interacciónes entre los personajes hasta que tuvieron algo conciso entre sí para que a la hora de la verdad no hubiera un cambio, Asya estaba teniendo un buen desarrollo como personaje para convertiste en una persona independiente y con voz propia pero al final sé quedó como alguien que deja que los demás pasen sobre ella solo por seguir creyendo en la meritocracia, sinceramente..- Sentí que leí la historia de alguien que intentaba auto convencerse de que sus creencias eran suficientes para ignorar su realidad, no apoyo ni apoyaré la meritocracia así que... a otro perro con ese hueso. Al final le dieron un desarrollo a Ira como "Trama principal" y la dejaron como algo inconcluso sin un final claro, ¿Cuál era el objetivo en sí de éste juego?, porque parece que el deterioro de una persona con una enfermedad psicótica no, agradecer por encontrar lo bueno hasta en lo malo??, si claro. Me sorprende que esté juego sea Gratis. Lo recomiendo?, no.
好玩
very good, verity good
This was a bit of a rollercoaster I enjoyed it I have never felt good while feeling hopeless, however this made feeling hopeless feel okay, even if only for a little bit. This is likely going to live rent free in my head for a bit
Can't say I can reach the same conclusion as Asya, but I will try. good read
havent finished it but this game is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good oh my god
