The beginning of the L game genre of needle. For better or for worse, it fucking happened!

Wow...
So this is my hypothesis.
What I believe is that "lie" (aka "Believe") was just messing around but did have "entertainment" in mind. It was a brutal failure, but what spawned a new "genre" was the response and popularity it had. Nobody (if few) liked this game, but we all like a good challenge and then show it off as "cleared". Had this not received the response it had with so many reviews, I think this genre would have died immediately instead of inspiring countless cancerous fangame makers to release AIDS content into the wiki.
This was never meant to be an impossible game, and I can tell it was meant to be playable. How bad is the design that you can actually change your align with A and D? You have no idea. But the experience is so pointless and downright terrible that when you reach the bottom right corner you spot out a huge skip which I can't believe was overseen --> What do you prefer? Two buffed corners in a row followed by a double upwards plane, or a simple TAS jump followed by a horizontal gate? Hey, don't blame me! I wanted to finish this game asap!
If you're curious, play it. Obviously I don't recommend it but if you wanna L at least once in your life, beat the original L and then stop. I do regret it. At least Nue Houjuu's remix was ok.

For better or worse, this was a pretty influential needle game. It's easier than a lot of L games that came out later on, but it still isn't easy. It was pretty fun aside from the second to last save, but there are better games out there.
