Reality slippage causes people to become obsessed with Lain. Told in first person as one of the other characters - could be anyone, but perhaps Alice or Taro are easiest to use. Concurrent with Layer 12.
A light comedy where you go to school, explore the Wired, flirt with Alice, hallucinate, fulfill the prophecy, fend off your other self and try not to be too socially awkward.
The conspiracy from the perspective of a nameless Tachibana Labs Employee, covering the modification of Protocol 7 and the incarnation and conditioning of Lain. A prequel to the anime.
You play as yourself - you can enter your name or handle at the beginning. Voices are whispering things in the Wired. They're mostly random things, but when you speak to the Wired, it listens and begins responding, allowing you to collect information. Possible topics of investigation: Knights, Lain, some sort of conspiracy theory? And if you say the wrong things, the speakers become increasingly chaotic and perhaps attack you by spreading rumours until you can't stay on the Wired anymore.
