<LAIN> is a puzzle platformer where you create new paths by turning the layers that make up the world on and off—and rearranging their order. Transform familiar spaces into entirely new structures, uncover the rules hidden within each layer, and solve every stage.
About the Game
If the world of the game were a single image, you would be able to directly manipulate the layers that make it up.
<LAIN> is a 2D puzzle platformer that reimagines the layer system found in image-editing software as a core puzzle mechanic. Disable layers to remove obstacles, rearrange their order to change how objects interact, and find your way to the destination.
Turn Layers Off, Turn Them On, and Create a Path
A wall blocking your way does not always need to be destroyed. Turn off the layer containing it, and the wall will disappear as though it had never existed.
However, disabling a layer also affects every platform and object within it. Decide what you need at each moment, toggle layers on and off, and create a new path forward.
Swap the Layers
Active layers are stacked in order from top to bottom.
Changing their order does more than alter what appears on the screen. It also changes the relationships between overlapping objects and the way each puzzle functions.
Observe carefully, decide which layer should move forward and which should be pushed back, and uncover the hidden solution.
