On November 26, 1998, Pioneer LDC released a video game with the same name as the anime for the PlayStation. It was designed by Konaka and Yasuyuki, and made to be a "network simulator" in which the player would navigate to explore Lain's story. The creators themselves did not call it a game, but "Psycho-Stretch-Ware". 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, and "to understand her problems, and to love her".
Gameplay [ ]
The gameplay is close to the visual novel. The player 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 player can still follow a story as each information is in a chronological order (despite being available in a random order). For example, the player can read Touko's dairy (named Tda in the game) by following this order: Tda001, Tda002,... but the player may have access to Tda028 first since that's the closest to where you start from at the beginning of the game.
At the beginning of the game, the player can select files by moving Lain around the select menu. The select menu, called Site (there are two sites: A & B), has 22 levels that can be accessed by moving Lain up and down with each floor having one to nine parts accessible by moving to the right or the left.
Files are floating around each floor. You can separate each files in category:
- Touko's diary (Tda): Touko's personal thoughts.
- Lain's diary (Lda): Lain's personal thoughts.
- Diagnosis (Dia): Lain's diagnosis after their interactions, provided by Touko.
- Counseling (Cou): Lain and Touko's interactions.
- TaK: Random quotes by Lain.
- Dc: Videos.
- Collectibles (P2)
- Mr. Recovery (SSKn): An "upgrade requirement" to unlock some media.
- GaTE: A "gate pass" to unlock Site B
Sometimes, when you try to open a files, Lain will fall over and won't be able to open it, it means that the files is locked and need a Mr. Recovery upgrade to unlock it.
Collecting all the Collectible (P2) will give you access to two extra idle media files.
Fan Translation [ ]
As the videogame has never been officially translated, a team of fans has recreated the entire game in English and made it playable entirely in a web browser. The translation was released at the end of May 2021 [1] .
The project was titled lainTSX and was in work since July 2020. The team opted for a Webgl implementation of the game instead of hacking the PS1 game. This decision made the translation, especially the integration of the subtitles easier, and gave the opportunity to smooth the gameplay and the animation using a better framerate and overall timing.

Description

Serial Experiments Lain is a visual novel developed and published by Pioneer LDC for the Playstation . It was designed to expand upon themes introduced in the anime of the same name and allow players to empathize with the character of Lain, while telling an alternate story designed by Chiaki J. Konaka, the lead writer of the original anime.
Due to the large amounts of text and voice acting present in the game as well as the niche appeal of the anime, Serial Experiments Lain never saw release outside of Japan.
Serial Experiments Lain focuses around exploration of the game's core plot. This takes the form of a large number of diary entries, animated videos , and audio logs , presented in a non-linear fashion. Many of these entries are locked, and can not be accessed until the player has interacted with other entries, whether they be "mT up-date" applications, or entries which only become visible upon accessing other logs.
Entries are browsed via a central hub, designed to resemble the futuristic computer operating systems seen in the Serial Experiments Lain anime.
Serial Experiments Lain follows an alternate concept of Lain, the protagonist of the original anime, through certain moments of her daily life, such as her psychiatric sessions, diary entries, and interactions with her friends and family. As the story progresses, Lain becomes more interested with the idea of artificial intelligence , and creates one to emulate her father. This eventually leads to Lain leaving her body by uploading her own consciousness to "the Wired", the game's interpretation of the internet, and living on inside of the Wired.

These are the episodes of Serial Experiments Lain gotten from a Blu ray rip, although the quality is not HD. Subtitles were applied from a subtitle database. However, I also added subtitles for the moments of the show where it is written Japanese text on screen. I got the translations from the script pages of the Serial Experiments Lain fan wiki.
