Following the increasing number of pre-orders for the physical edition of Serial Experiments Lain RPG<\/a> \/\/signal.<\/strong>, Team MJM announced that it will conduct a Campfire crowdfunding campaign<\/a>, running from April 15 until May 31, 2025. In addition to covering the production costs of the physical copies, the extra funding will allow the developers to improve the quality of the game.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team MJM originally planned to produce only 300 physical copies of \/\/signal. After receiving over 5,000 pre-orders in less than a month, the team initially wanted to cancel physical pre-orders altogether. Due to people\u2019s love for the game and franchise<\/a>, however, Team MJM decided to crowdfund the project instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of funds earned from the campaign will be put to production of the additional physical editions. Return item productions costs, shipping costs within Japan, and the fee for putting the campaign on the crowdfunding website are also covered. Interestingly, the production of new illustrations is also mentioned, giving people extra incentive to back the campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with many crowdfunding projects, the \/\/signal. physical edition crowdfunding campaign has multiple tiers that reward backers based on how much they donate. Layer:01 (the lowest tier) costs 1,000 JPY (around $6.81 USD) which entitles you to a physical copy of the game, a PC and phone wallpaper, and a \u201cThank You\u201d email from the developers. The most expensive tier – the Accel Course \u2013 costs 100,000 JPY (around $681 USD) and gives you all the rewards found in the lower tiers in addition to being able to choose a new costume that will be implemented into the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
