Z.A.T.O.: I Love the World and Everything In It

A short, text-heavy visual novel set in the closed Soviet city of Vorkuta-5 in 1986, where a girl goes missing. The story is linear, with no branching, and leans on atmosphere, pixel art and a slow, unsettling mystery with philosophical undertones. Is it your kind of game?
