| Developer Team MJM has announced an occult-themed RPG called "//signal", which will be the second official game adaptation of the cult original anime "Serial Experiments Lain". The game is set to be released 30 April of this year. It will not be made directly by the creators of the original anime or the first 1998 PS1 game, but has been approved by the title's original creator and made within the established guidelines by the current IP holder. Do you believe in the potential of this game and what do you think about it? Are you okay with the idea of a game being created by third parties based on the first game adaptation, but with the blessing of the original author? |

Seems kinda unlikely to become successful nowadays.
| @Zarutaku They imply that it will be some sort of reboot or alternate version of the first game. I'm not entirely sure how that will work, as they say Lain will still be in contact with characters from the old game in the new story. |

| Definitely interested, but I think I would’ve preferred a rerelease of the PS1 game. |
   Did you hear me? I said I'm gonna do my best!! ☆ |

This does not good at all. It looks like a fanmade game that was created in less than 4 months, unfortunately.
| @NoUsername09 If you close your eyes to the official promotion, this is essentially an indie project. |

guys i don't know much either but this game made by the lain TTL community, it has a remix of wasei jj chikada (the guy who makes se:l music) and the lain producers are aware of it and send a support letter to developers. So it's not exactly official, JJ said in his last live stream that it was created through community effort. also search for Lain TTL thingy, This is a license that allows people in Japan to make and sell fanworks under the name "Lain" until 2028. (im not sure i dont know nihonjin)
