I am not a gamer but the gameplays of this indie game called "last seen online" caught the algorithm and I was HOOKED from the beginning. I watched a few more videos and the decided to play it myself - and what should I say, what a masterpiece.

This game and it's themes freaking BROKE me. Like, I just felt so down the next few days. I remembered Liz's anguish, agony, her situation... and I just saw so many parallels to when I was that age. I saw what she felt when she was alivei n this world.

It made me think about what my culture tells us about eternity and death and souls - we believe a person lives on through another for of life. Death is just like changing clothes, and it's the soul that changes it. It is nothing to be afraid of. Life is just temporary.

Just makes this whole game story even more interesting to me - because a soul being trapped in a game, uploaded and basically stored as a destructible file, is stuck there forever and cannot go through the normal cycle. It is just such a haunting thought.

Also, what exactly happened? How did the sould get uploaded, and what happened to her body? Did she disappear? Was it an euphemism for her taking her life? Was the prerequisite for OtherWorld to be dead? And how did Liz

Her fear of being alone. Her fear of being forgotten - which resulted in her being stuck in this file system of a game. We still don't know how exactly you can "upload yourself" into the game, and the fact that the physical body just disappears or dies while the soul and consciousness just stays the way it was, forever, until everyone else leaves... and you're waiting and waiting in anguish, passing your time, regretting and regretting again...

It filled me with a LOT of existential dread and some sort of emptiness. Good job, dev team.

Another cool thing is the graphics. The disco place especially was so so eery and melancholic, and the Windows XP vibes with the use of the pop ups, pixel graphics, custom wallpapers and "creepy font" was very nostalgic.

I made this in school after watching serial experiments lain, and yes, Lain is a kiwi, it fits her in my opinion. P.S, this is not a ship, this is just a joke.

she just like me frfr. this game was amazing, the amount of personality they fit into a mere desktop screen is amazing. Like you could just tell shes the type of girl to rot in her bed all day just to be chronically online on forums like myspace. I just wished they added more traces of trauma, like the part about her mommy issues 😭😭it was so real. also the concept felt like i was serial experiments lain, like literally going through lains pc or smth

In Lain we stand

think i'm going to take my original wip off of ao3 so i can focus on just working on a first draft without needing to post it. that said, i really would love to find someone (or multiple people) who might want to share a reciprocal beta reading situation, for both fic and original fiction

[ofdreamsanddoodles]

thinking about how the lain who experienced the "love" of everyone in the wired was the one who dressed provocatively & laugh about inappropriate topics (like her friend's crush on that teacher) & how lain told her she sounded just like eiri & that was what made her finally disappear. eiri said he made her but all he did was mold an already existing idea into a girl that he could enjoy manipulating & as soon as lain realized she didn't have to be that, she was set free

[not-poignant]

The question 'which of my original stories is least likely to be booted from a distributor (like Amazon) for its highly questionable content' is like...a tough one, because I inevitably end up with something like 'oh what about The Wildness Within? That's pretty tame and- OH THE INCEST' and it's like...

Oof okay try again.
