How it feels
A quiet, dreamlike navigation through a girl's fragmented digital existence that feels more like a meditation than a game.

About
An adventure game where you follow the cybernetic journeys of a girl named Lain.
What players say
A slow, cerebral and deeply unsettling interactive experience built from FMV diary fragments exploring mental illness, isolation and the network with raw, lingering dread. Barely a game in the traditional sense, it haunts players and has grown into a cult curiosity.
