• FACTORY REPORT №5: Regarding the Second Episode of the "Zavod" Visual Novel - 30 January 2026

  🎨 Architectural & Design Bureau: • Backgrounds (70%): Changes have occurred in the production process. Both our lead and new artists have stepped down for personal reasons. We have found replacements: artsam has taken on one background, and two more were drawn by an active subscriber (huge thanks for your help!).
