    The authors study billiards in right angles and introduce a new family of periodic trajectories in such billiards which are called \(S\)-trajectories. They show that such a trajectory passes through any point of a right-angled billiard. They also prove instability of all known periodic trajectories in right-angled billiards and consider some generalizations of these results to the high-dimensional case.
