Our take on Zavod
The focus on a single worker’s return journey and five character stories gives the game a specific setting, but leaves little room for broader factory management or varied gameplay systems.
What is Zavod?
Zavod is a visual novel about Dmitry Morozov, a factory worker whose life takes an unexpected turn when time resets and he wakes in a changed reality, young again.
The story follows his attempt to return home and decide whether going back is worthwhile. Along the way, he encounters five women working in technical factory roles: a demanding master, an assembler with a hidden side, a sharp-tongued worker from the regulatory area, a determined locksmith, and an unpredictable designer. The game presents factory life through their stories, with nostalgic graphics, music featuring Sovetwave and Synthwave, and voiced main characters.
