我会爬的高高的，凝视天空，调整自己的角度，让发射轨迹恰到好处。 接着，我会以此生最强的功率传输，我会嘶吼着 “谢谢你”和“我爱你”， 声音大到让方圆三千公里内的所有人，都在他们的心脏、骨骼和肌肉深处感受到震颤。 —————————————————————————————————————————————————————— 在电波系领域，几部常见且知名的作品一般是日系电波视觉小说，通常会引用近代以来的西方哲学进行电波思辨，内容上是“内省”的，带有“病理学剖析”性质，因此精神分析领域几位不同学派的大师往往也是常见的座上宾。而ZATO不太一样。本作更具有斯拉夫文学的特点，偏向于“后苏联文学”，讨论的对象也不再仅仅是“我”，还有作为共同体的“我们”。 我认为本作的核心议题其实就写在它的标题里，谜底即是谜面。“Z.A.T.O”是苏联保密行政区的缩写，也是主角等人以外的整个社会所代表的“大他者”的象征。故事背景中，苏联宏大叙事的国家愿景已在悄然崩塌。故事中的几位角色认知到了“大他者”表象之下的世界秩序本质，宏大的信仰对象正在物质层面死去，并对此分别做出了不同的应对方式。主角ASYA（阿莎雅）面对正在崩塌的世界（大他者），没有陷入虚无主义，而是选择以自身为源头，向世界广播出爱的信号，也就是标题的后半段：I Love the World and Everything In It

I love this game. I know there are probably five million bits and pieces of symbolism here and there. However, I'm not smart enough to understand it. I understand the main message this game is trying to tell you and all. Either way, I still love this game. I love the message it says as well.

genuinely an incredibly thought-provoking VN with a gripping story and some amazing messages. if you're ready to cry a couple times and experience a world that tastes of grim cosmic justice, you should absolutely pick it up.
