Mind-blowing experiment of interactive mediality, Serial Experiments Lain detaches itself almost completely from the script of the anime to address the theme of subjectivity in relation to digital information from an entirely new perspective. The game appears as a digital folder from which a range of different audio, visual, and textual files can be accessed in no particular order, through which the narration unfolds as it goes along through more or less explicit clues and information about the events and the evolution in the interactions between the characters. There are many extremely interesting elements such as the focus on realism in the depiction of mental health issues and the therapist-patient relationship with its inherent criticalities and the ability to handle a script that functions perfectly even in a very nonlinear way: a title that may be difficult for many to approach, but one that it is so essential and rewarding to dive into in order to study it in all its parts because of its uniqueness and charm.
