| Description: | Description: The game was designed as a "network simulator" which the player would navigate to explore Lain's journey between real life and online life. The creators themselves did not describe it as a game but as "Psycho-Stretch-Ware," incorporating visual novel and non-linear multimedia elements; the gameplay is limited to unlocking pieces of information and then reading/viewing/listening 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 information that they would have to sort through and that they would have to do with less than what exists to understand. As with the anime, the creative team's main goal was to let the player "feel" Lain, "to understand her problems, and to love her". |
