Serial Experiments Lain Game Series With The

The game shares the themes and protagonist, but not the plot, with the anime series with the same name.

The creators themselves did not call it a game, but Psycho-Stretch-Ware, and it has been described as being a kind of graphic novel: the gameplay is limited to unlocking pieces of information, and then readingviewinglistening to them, with little or no puzzle needed to unlock.

Lain distances itself even more from classical games by the random order in which information is collected.

The aim of the authors was to let the player get the feeling that there are myriads of informations that he would have to sort through, and that he would have to do with less than what exists to understand.

As with the anime, the creative teams main goal was to let the player feel Lain, and to understand her problems, and to love her.

In the video game, Lain talks to a therapist, a character that doesnt appear in the anime, while most characters from the anime (like Alice) are absent from the game.

Lain herself is basically the only common element between the two, and even the ending is different: while she erases everyones memories and becomes an entity of the Wired in the anime, and kills Eiri Masami, in the video game she commits suicide to escape to the Wired, where she is finally joined by her psychiatrist.

There has been speculation that the plot of the anime follows on chronologically from the game.

A high quality animated TV series with a cult following, that mixes reality and fantasy.

Please enjoy the deep and quite charming world of lain from a slightly different perspective.
