Serial Experiments Lain (game)

2025-05-05T21:17:39Z

Prince:

{{DISPLAYTITLE:''Serial Experiments Lain'' (game)}}[[File:Lain_PS1.jpg|thumb|The cover artwork for the PS1 game.|right]]
'''''Serial Experiments Lain''''' is a Japanese video game for the [[Wikipedia:PlayStation 1|PlayStation 1]] based on [[Serial Experiments Lain|the animated series of the same name]], which was released on November 26, 1998. The game consists mostly of pieces of information collected in a random order that allow the player to piece together [[Lain Iwakura]]'s story. [[Serial Experiments Lain Official Guide|A companion guidebook]] was released in December 1998.

==Summary==

The player controls a Lain avatar and navigates a hierarchical system of computer files. The events of the game follow Iwakura Lain and her psychiatrist Yonera Touko. The following is a rough summary of the game's events as related by Keisuke Shindo.

*Lain (11) begins to visit Touko (27) because of hallucinations.
*Touko teaches Lain about psychopathology.
*Lain has a friend named Kyoko, who she has a falling out with going into junior high school.
*Lain enters junior high, gaining a friend named Misato and an interest in computers and networks.
*Lain's father disappears under mysterious circumstances, and she programs an AI into a robotic replacement of him.
*After 3 years of counseling, Touko thinks Lain has no more problems.
*Touko begins to diagnose Lain again after finding out from classmates of Lain that Misato does not actually exist.
*Lain programs her father into the Wired and destroys its robotic body, subsequently beginning to program her own personality into the Wired.
*Touko experiences frustration over her lack of mobility at work. Her boss kills himself.
*Touko experiences relationship difficulties, getting dumped by two men in succession.
*Touko becomes emotionally unstable and Lain begins to diagnose her.
*Lain meets her Wired entity and kills her physical self.
*Lain appears before Touko and kills her, absorbing her personality into the wired.

==Characters==
* '''[[Lain Iwakura]]''': An apparently ordinary girl with a highly introverted nature and low self-esteem. At age 11, she begins to see and hear hallucinations, most prominently a double of herself. As a result, she sees a therapist at Tachibana General Laboratories. Lain also proves to be adept at psychology and computer science. Most of all, she is unbearably lonely.
* '''[[Touko Yonera]]''': Recently graduated from an American university, Touko serves as Lain's counselor and psychiatrist. She is a new employee at Tachibana Research Center, and Lain is her very first client, establishing quite a good relationship with her.
* '''[[Makino Shin'ichirou]]''': An ordinary office worker who encounters Lain online. Impressed with her abilities, he provides news, data and computer parts for her.
* '''[[Tomo]]''': A boy in Lain's elementary school class that Lain has a crush on.
* '''[[Kyoko]]''': A girl in Lain's elementary school class that Lain is somewhat friendly with, who treats Lain like a younger sister.
* '''[[Mayu]]''': A friend of Kyoko's.
* '''[[Kaori]]''': A girl in Lain's elementary school class that tries to be friendly with everyone.
* '''[[Yasuo Iwakura]]''': Lain's father. He and Lain are very close and he treats Lain very kindly, often buying her presents. He is a businessman that occasionally needs to travel.
* '''[[Miho Iwakura]]''': Lain's mother. She and Lain are on slightly less good terms, and she is a bit harder on Lain than her father. She still treats Lain very well and looks after her when she needs help. She is a housewife.
* '''[[Misato]]''': Lain's (imaginary) friend in her middle school class. Getting along extremely well, Lain and her do all sorts of things together, at least in Lain's memory. Misato is an ideal girl, able to play the violin beautifully, paint exquisitely, and is also very beautiful and elegant.
* '''[[Harumi]]''': Touko's longtime friend. She rather abruptly gets married.
* '''[[Kanako]]''': Touko's longtime friend. She's a hardworking woman trying to become a publisher.
* '''[[Takeshi]]''': Touko's boyfriend, met while studying abroad. He works at Tachibana General Laboratories alongside Touko. Their relationship is very platonic.
* '''[[Yoshida]]''': Touko's other lover. He works at an exercise equipment manufacturing company that visits Tachibana General Laboratories from time to time. He is popular with women.
* '''[[Professor Takashima]]''': Touko's boss. A well-meaning man that often dumps chores on Touko, impeding her research. Touko hates him.
* '''[[Mr. Rabbit]]''': A friend that Lain made online. He teaches her how to hack.
* '''[[Shock Spammer]]''': A malevolent user online that sends encrypted shock images to Lain's inbox, such as images of a dead infant and a dead woman.
* '''[[Progenetis]]''': Lain's father. After the disappearance of Father, Lain begins to make artificial replacements of her friends and family, starting with Father.
* '''[[Bike-chan]]''': A stuffed toy dog that allegedly has been Lain since her birth. Lain seems to view it as a friend.
* '''[[The Other Self]]''': A hallucination of another Lain that appears nude. She is the reason that Lain starts seeing Touko.
* '''[[CLN-1]]''': An unnamed woman in a school-girl's uniform that shoots her boyfriend in public.

==File system==
The game's interface is designed to be somewhat similar to a database, apparently called the "life instinct function" or "lif", which appears to be located on a server at [[Tachibana General Laboratories]]. The name of the database could hint that it is serving the purpose of keeping lain alive somehow. The database is divided into two Sites: Site A and Site B. Site B is locked when the player begins the game, and can only be unlocked by finding updates hidden in the files. Each file in the site contains an invisible version number. The version of the player's in-game media player must be greater than or equal to that number in order to play the file. The media player can be updated by finding various upgrades hidden in the files.

Located within the database are several different filetypes:
*'''Lda''', standing for lain's_DIARY in game, is a collection of 237 diary entries written by Lain over the course of roughly three years. The diary was given to Lain by Touko early into the counseling sessions as a place to confide her often negative and personal feelings. Interestingly, there is an image included in the game of Touko giving Lain a physical book, but the diaries themselves have evidence to show that the diaries are electronic. It is possible that Lain writes the diaries and then records herself reading them.

*'''Tda''', or TOUKO'S_DIARY, is a collection of 92 diary entries written by Yonera Touko over the course of roughly two years.

*'''Cou''', or COUNSELING_REC. is a collection of 53 recordings of counseling sessions between Lain and Touko. While the earlier sessions had Touko acting as a counselor to Lain, in the final recordings the roles are reversed after Touko becomes unstable. Lain acts as a counselor using her wide knowledge of psychology from independent study.

*'''Dia''', or DIAGNOSIS_CLN## is a collection of 48 diagnoses by either Touko or Lain regarding their patient's behavior and actions to be taken as a result. Touko's recordings bear the designation CLN_01 (referring to Lain) and Lain's bear the designation CLN_00 (referring to Touko). The final recording is done by both.

*'''TaK''' is a series of 181 recordings of a single sentence each by either Lain or Touko, seemingly addressing the player. These sentences are often random questions. Unlike other filetypes, which are mostly presented in chronological order by level number, these files are presented in two apparently parallel chronologies, one consisting of the recordings by Lain (TaK001-TaK121) and the other by Touko (TaK122-181). There is no label for this filetype, but the Serial Experiments Lain Official Guide calls them "Talk" files.

*'''Ekm''' is a series of 6 recordings of conversations between Lain and Kyoko. The label for this filetype is "DATA of CLN01", but the Serial Experiments Lain Official Guide calls these files "Extra Kyoko's Memory". These files only exist on Site A.

*'''Ere''', or RESEARCH_"Ky" and RESEARCH_"Ka" is a series of 10 interviews between Touko and some of Lain's classmates regarding Lain. The Serial Experiments Official Guide calls these files "Extra Research". These files only exist on Site B.

*'''Eda''' or RESEARCH_"Ma" is a series of 4 counseling sessions between Makino and possibly Professor Takashima, and 1 news report. The fifth file has the designation NEWS_SHOW. The Serial Experiments Lain Official Guide calls these files "Extra Data". These files only exist on Site B.

*'''Sskn''' or SaiSei-kun is a collection of freeware upgrade apps for the game's movie playing tool. Each successive update unlocks more content. There are seven upgrades available. The designation for these files is "mT up-date App."

*'''P2-''' or POLY-TAN PARTS are pieces of a virtual bear model named Poly-tan. Collecting all parts unlocks some files, according to the Serial Experiments Lain Official Guide. There are 6 in all, all of which are located on Site A.

*'''GaTE''' is a series of network applications that are needed to proceed from Site A to Site B. There are 4 in all.

*'''Dc1''', or DATA of CLN## is a series of 57 animated video files, mostly of Lain. While the numbers do go up to 058, Dc1029 is missing. Unlike the other filetypes, these files are presented in mostly random order, Site A containing the first 28 and Site B containing the latter 29. Each video file has its own name. Interestingly, the name "drive" is used twice. It is unknown who filmed these files or for what purpose, or whether there was even a cameraman at all. While some files have a distinctly handheld look to them or are clearly for the purpose of filming a counseling session, others are far more unusual; some appear to be hidden cameras, others appear to be professionally edited to show a series of events from a certain angle, and still others appear to be impossible or difficult shots, like aerial shots or shots of Lain in a bathroom mirror with no visible camera behind her. The CLN number, or client number, varies occasionally, but for most of the files is CLN01, or Lain. A few files in Site B use the designations CLN00 (Touko) or CLN-1 (a seemingly unnamed woman). The missing file, Dc1029, appears to be located between Site A and B, and its contents are located in the short manga "[[The Nightmare of Fabrication]]". The Serial Experiments Lain Official Guide calls these files "Dcl".

*'''Env''' or network voices? is a series of 12 files that contain nothing but static and assorted voices. The server data for all these files are corrupted. These files are extra content and are not part of the regular game. All of these files are located on Site A's Level 0.

*'''Xv0''' is a collection of unused video clips. These files are extra content and are not part of the regular game.

*'''Xa''' is a collection of miscellaneous audio. Most of these files contain Touko in an apparent state of distress, though the first and last files contain Lain's voice. These files are extra content and are not part of the regular game.

==Connections between the game and the anime==
This game explains many elements in the [[Serial Experiments Lain|anime]] that are taken for granted or left unexplained. It can be considered an alternate timeline to the anime, perhaps one where Lain is incarnated into a different environment.

*Lain's haircut: In the game, it is revealed that Lain cut her own hair. The longer lock of hair where she clips her [[Lain's Hairclip|hairclip]] is meant to prevent something that "enters from the right" from "going out through the left". Not much is known about the context of this statement (at least to the English-speaking fandom), but it has been theorised that Lain's hairstyle wards off demons or prevents her memories from disappearing. According to the [[Serial Experiments Lain Official Guide|guide]], Lain's mysterious statement is referring to her [[crosstalk|auditory hallucinations.]] See [[Q&A]] for more information.
*The chip from [[Layer 09]]: This may be the same in nature as the machine that [[Touko Yonera]] received from [[Tachibana General Laboratories]].
*Shared [[:Category:Themes|themes]]

As part of the same franchise, both the game and the anime cover topics such as the reliability of [[memory]] and the nature of existence and [[reality]].

==Translation==
Access to the fan translation at [https://laingame.net/ laingame.net]

As the videogame has never been officially translated, a team of fans has fan translated the entire game in English and made the nodes easily browsable. Project began in 2008 and the translation was released in 2014.

A long time passed after a team of volunteers decided to remake the game from the ground up using web technologies (React, three.js, WebGL) making the whole game playable in the web browser. Work on [https://github.com/ad044/lainTSX lainTSX] started solo by ad044 since August 2020, and on 13 September 2020 help was gathered from community. Decision to recreate the game in the browser 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.

'''''Cyberia Layer_2''''' is a compilation album of techno by [[Chikada Wasei]]. It is a sequel to 1998's ''[[Serial Experiments Lain: Cyberia Mix|serial experiments lain sound track Cyberia Mix]]'' and was released as part of the 20th anniversary celebrations for the franchise.

In addition to Wasei, the album contains big name features from across the Japanese dance music landscape: Q'HEY, one of the fathers of Japanese techno; KO KIMURA, known for popularizing electro and acid house; Hideo Kobayashi, who works in deep house and techno; and TaQ, a composer known mostly for his contributions to the ''beatmania'' series of rhythm games. Notably, remixes of ""s"peEd" and "Cloudy, with occasional rain" from the original ''Cyberia Mix'' are included on ''Layer_2''. "Cloudy" is erroneously credited to Wasei on this album, when it was actually produced by Akira Takemoto.

''Cyberia Layer_2'' was unveiled at the "serial experiments lain 20th Anniversary Event" at CIRCUS Tokyo club on the 7th of July 2018, which also featured [[Chiaki J. Konaka]], [[Yoshitoshi ABe|yoshitoshi ABe]] and [[wikipedia:Kaori Shimizu (voice_actress)|Kaori Shimizu]] in attendance. A limited edition promo CD, ''"Cyberia Layer_2 JJ's Bootleg Mix"'', was given away at this event.

The packaging for the album was designed by yoshitoshi ABe. Purchase of the physical edition included a download code for the two songs from ''JJ's Bootleg Mix''; the DJ mix as an MP3, and the remix of "Duvet" as a WAV.

'''''Serial Experiments Lain: Cyberia Mix''''' (also stylized as '''''serial experiments lain sound track Cyberia Mix''''') is the second soundtrack for the ''Serial Experiments Lain'' [[Serial Experiments Lain (anime)|anime]]. It acts a soundtrack for the fictional nightclub Cyberia, which is depicted in the show. ''Cyberia Mix'' was created by [[Chikada Wasei]] and Akira Takemoto. It also features the TV edit and a remix of the opening theme song, "Duvet" -- both of which were removed for the American pressing.

Though none of the songs were featured within the series itself, several of the songs are based on the [[serial experiments lain BOOTLEG|score composed by Takemoto]]. "antidepressant o44" is based on "Cyberia Texture 5a" and "Cyberia Texture 5b"; "invisible file" samples "Collapsing Mika" and "Adult Site"; "prayer" centers around "Enormous Lain"; "K.I.D.s" contains elements of "KIDS system" and "Beauties of nature"; and "INFANiTy world" opens with a sample of "Loneliness 1b".

Duvet

Prince: /* Lyrics */

The opening theme of the [[Serial Experiments Lain (anime)|Serial Experiments Lain anime]], by the band [[Bôa]]. It was included on their album [[Twilight (Bôa album)|Twilight]].

Has 4 versions: regular, TV size, acoustic, and [[Cyberia]] mix.

== Lyrics ==

<blockquote>
And you don't seem to understand 
A shame you seemed an honest man 
And all the fears you hold so dear 
Will turn to whisper in your ear 
And you know what they say might hurt you 
But you know that it means so much 
And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling 
I am fading 
I have lost it all

And you don't seem the lying kind 
A shame then I can read your mind 
And all the things that I read there 
Candlelit smile that we both shared 
And you know I don't mean to hurt you 
But you know that it means so much 
And you don't even feel a thing

(I am falling 
I am fading 
I am drowning 
Help me to breathe 
I am hurting 
I have lost it all 
I am losing 
Help me to breathe)

(Repeat)
</blockquote>

==Story==
The song was selected by the director [[Chiaki J. Konaka]], after the band Bôa signed with the Japanese record label Polystar despite Boâ being a British band with the main singer, Jasmine Rodgers being only half-Japanese and only speaking a "really little bit" of the language. It was an unusual choice as most of the opening themes are written for the show. For Jasmine, "Lain was a happy coincidence". The song became a huge hit among anime fans. As the success continued, Bôa was invited as guests to conventions. Even if the band has not made any statement about being dismantled, their last album was in 2005 and since then Jasmine Rodgers started a solo career writing a piece for a classical Indian musician. Jasmine Rodgers doesn't want to sing "Duvet" anymore specified that the song “is ours, not just mine” talking about the band.

==Trivia==
* The song also inspired the name for Bolivian rock band Duvet.
* Despite being a huge success and the band being British, the album The Race of a Thousand Camels was never released in UK.

何の罪も無いはずなのに 
何らかの罰を受けてる 
時分で蒔いた種でもないのに 
咲き乱れた花摘まされる 

知らないことともいえないが 
片棒かついだ覚えは無い 
自由を高く買わされた気もするが 
心まで安く売った覚えは無い 

Hey Hey　くたばっておさらばするまで 
Hey Hey　誰の手にもかからない 
遠い夜をうろついてる 
知らないだろう永遠のならず者達を 

ゆるせない仕打ちでもないが 
癒せる傷でもあるまい 
泣けそうな夜には女抱いて 
このちんけな娑婆から高飛びさ 

Hey Hey くたばっておさらばするまで 
Hey Hey　誰の手にもかからない 
遠い夜をうろついてる

<blockquote>
With my body free of sin, 
I withstand punishment without reason 
The seeds have not yet fully grown, 
But still I pick the flowers that bloomed from them 

I can't say I knew nothing, 
But I unknowingly became an accomplice 
I thought I wouldn't sell my freedom so easily, 
But I unknowingly sold even my heart cheaply 

Hey Hey When I'm out of strength and wave goodbye 
Hey Hey Nobody will be able to touch me 
Wandering in the distant night, 
Unknown to you who cannot be eternal 

Although I never did anything unforgivable, 
And didn't suffer any unhealable wounds, 
On nights when I want to cry, I hold a woman 
And fly high, away from this mundane world 

Hey Hey When I'm out of strength and wave goodbye 
Hey Hey Nobody will be able to touch me 
Wandering in the distant night, 
Unknown to you who cannot be eternal 

With my body free of sin, 
I withstand punishment without reason 
I thought I wouldn't sell my freedom so easily, 
But I have no guts to sell even my heart cheaply

|genre = rock, electronic (remix)
|length =

The opening theme of the [[Serial Experiments Lain (anime)|Serial Experiments Lain anime]], by the band [[Bôa]]. It was included on their album [[Twilight (Bôa album)|Twilight]].

Has 4 versions: regular, TV size, acoustic, and [[Cyberia]] mix.

== Lyrics ==
<blockquote>
And you don't seem to understand 
A shame you seemed an honest man 
And all the fears you hold so dear 
Will turn to whisper in your ear 
And you know what they say might hurt you 
But you know that it means so much 
And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling 
I am fading 
I have lost it all

And you don't seem the lying kind 
A shame then I can read your mind 
And all the things that I read there 
Candlelit smile that we both shared 
And you know I don't mean to hurt you 
But you know that it means so much 
And you don't even feel a thing

(I am falling 
I am fading 
I am drowning 
Help me to breathe 
I am hurting 
I have lost it all 
I am losing 
Help me to breathe)

(Repeat)
</blockquote>

==Story==
The song was selected by the director [[Chiaki J. Konaka]], after the band Bôa signed with the Japanese record label Polystar despite Boâ being a British band with the main singer, Jasmine Rodgers being only half-Japanese and only speaking a "really little bit" of the language. It was an unusual choice as most of the opening themes are written for the show. For Jasmine, "Lain was a happy coincidence". The song became a huge hit among anime fans. As the success continued, Bôa was invited as guests to conventions. Even if the band has not made any statement about being dismantled, their last album was in 2005 and since then Jasmine Rodgers started a solo career writing a piece for a classical Indian musician. Jasmine Rodgers doesn't want to sing "Duvet" anymore specified that the song “is ours, not just mine” talking about the band.

==Trivia==
* The song also inspired the name for Bolivian rock band Duvet.
* Despite being a huge success and the band being British, the album The Race of a Thousand Camels was never released in UK.

このちんけな娑婆から高飛びさ 

Hey Hey くたばっておさらばするまで 
Hey Hey　誰の手にもかからない 
遠い夜をうろついてる 
知らないだろう永遠のならず者達を 

何の罪も無いはずなのに 
何らかの罰を受けてる 
自由を高く買わされた気もするが 
心まで安く売り飛ばす腹は無い 
</div>

===English===
With my body free of sin, 
I withstand punishment without reason 
The seeds have not yet fully grown, 
But still I pick the flowers that bloomed from them 

I can't say I knew nothing, 
But I unknowingly became an accomplice 
I thought I wouldn't sell my freedom so easily, 
But I unknowingly sold even my heart cheaply 

Hey Hey When I'm out of strength and wave goodbye 
Hey Hey Nobody will be able to touch me 
Wandering in the distant night, 
Unknown to you who cannot be eternal 

Although I never did anything unforgivable, 
And didn't suffer any unhealable wounds, 
On nights when I want to cry, I hold a woman 
And fly high, away from this mundane world 

Hey Hey When I'm out of strength and wave goodbye 
Hey Hey Nobody will be able to touch me 
Wandering in the distant night, 
Unknown to you who cannot be eternal 

With my body free of sin, 
I withstand punishment without reason 
I thought I wouldn't sell my freedom so easily, 
But I have no guts to sell even my heart cheaply

[[File:Index.png|thumb|Bike-chan from the Nightmare of Fabrication]]'''Bike''' (びけ ''Bike''), '''Bike-chan''' is a toy dog owned by [[Lain Iwakura]] that is unsuccessfully automated by her an unknown number of times. It appears in the [[The Nightmare of Fabrication|manga]] and the [[Serial Experiments Lain (game)|game]]. Lain has reportedly owned it since birth, although there is no way of knowing how many incarnations it has had.

==Trivia==
*A stuffed toy dog closely resembling Bike-chan appears in the [[Serial Experiments Lain (anime)|anime]]; it is dropped at Lain's feet by a young girl in [[Shibuya]].
*In the official translation of the manga, its name is written as "Bikeh" as an aid to proper pronunciation.
*In ''Alice in Cyberland'', a PlayStation game of which [[Chiaki J. Konaka]] wrote the scenarios, there is a holographic cat of the same name.
