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.

"A single, perfect stroke. You might say, but what if the fluctuation is so massive, it encompasses most of that line? What if the shift is so monumental, it can’t be ignored even when viewed from outer space? Easy. The line needs to be longer. And past a certain point, all deviations – even ones spanning thousands of light years – will become negligible. Do you see what I mean?"

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 :/
