The fan-made novel game Lain: Protocol 7, based on Serial Experiments Lain, has released a trial version on itch.io. The project, crowdfunded via CAMPFIRE, has raised over 11.75 million yen against a 2 million yen goal. The trial lasts 20 to 40 minutes.
The trial version of Lain: Protocol 7 is now downloadable from itch.io. It is an unofficial fan work made under the Serial Experiments Lain official TTL 2019-2028 guidelines, not an official product or sequel.
The project began with the question of what would happen if Serial Experiments Lain connected to the reality of the 2020s. Crowdfunding on CAMPFIRE has raised 11,757,007 yen against a 2 million yen goal. The novel game was set as a stretch goal at 5 million yen total support.
The trial takes 20 to 40 minutes to play. The full game will offer routes different from the anime and alternate endings from the production process. A 15 million yen stretch goal adds Lain: Protocol 7 Complete Edition, a re-edited version with over 10 minutes of new scenes.
