Awesome point and click adventure game! All i have to say!. Enjoyable atmospheric puzzle hacker-story.
The game's main focus is on figuring out how to progress step by step while keeping a watchful eye out for clues.
The story has some nice points to it and the amount of details added as flavor make the experience more interesting and "alive".
Keyboard (typing) and mouse (left click) are used, but no prior hacking nor programming knowledge is required to play the game.
But short, so consider on sale if you're concerned about $/time.. Mainlining is fun, frustrating, and a great entry in what seems to be an emerging subgenre of investigative point-and-click games. It is well-priced and worth a buy (sale or no sale) even if you don't enjoy point-and-click games (like myself).
In many ways it is similar to Orwell from developer Osmotic Studios, which is a good thing, but also provides a positive gameplay experience of its own. The use of separate windows within the game and the typing/hacking element makes you feel more involved in the game than the point-and-click moniker would suggest, but the game adds at least one new element every case to prevent the game feeling too stale by the end.
My main complaint would be that the arrest system doesn't feel as 'clean' as in Orwell: you can think you have undeniable evidence on someone only to find out that because you've got the wrong location of where the suspect committed the crime or you haven't picked the right piece of evidence, you get a screen saying that you've wrongly arrested someone. Luckily it doesn't have an impact on the game but it can get frustrating when little feedback is given and could drive people to the few online walkthroughs that exist.
If you're not sure if you'll like it, there's a free demo which is pretty good at showing you what the rest of the game is like. But it's cheap enough to purchase for most people that even if you don't enjoy it too much then you won't be left too far out of pocket.. A really great game you can have a lot of fun with. I did figure out the "twist" in the end credits pretty early on, but, it was pretty enjoyable. Love the art style and music. I like that you can play each case 3 ways so it's harder or you can decide if you think someone should have an easier time of it.
Forgot to say there are some bugs like not being able to scroll using the UI's scrollbar so it's actually essential to have a wheeled mouse, at leasrt when I played it.
Also love the puns and random references to stuff.. This game is the best 'hacking' game i have played so far! When youre playing this game, it really feels like you have become a mi7 agent. I would suggest buying this if youre into hacking and being a detective. I would recommend not using a guide :)
Have fun!
9/10!. Mainlining is a strange good game. You investigate a modern scenario of web fraud and illegal sellings using some police super software that allows you to enter where nobody can.
Hacking is poor here, you just have to collect informations and meta data in order to reach more detailed informations and identify a suspect to arrest.
The idea is innovative, and the game do not have so many levels as you can think, so it can be finished in some times.
The bad is of course a low budget graphic and music. Playing on a room screen every tool shows big pixel and huge font. In any case it's enough funny to try to arrest somebody from the hacking information you have gained. In small words you must provide the location, the suspect, and the object incriminated. If one of these elements is wrong a failed arrest page is shown. Unlucky, even if you get the wrong place but the right person, the text shows that you have failed.
There is no gameover of course, so you could potentially try a brute force of locations.
Funny are the real OS reproduction, as Peyotes for Ubuntu and so on.. I also find the english a bit difficult, travelling through chats and manifests, and sometimes understanding everything was crucial to solve the case.
Near the end you will also find a Pac Man easter egg, and this let me think that the coders are no so young as I could think.. ;)
In general a good game. I've also finished it without crashing problem or something wrong.. but the rest must be a bit more implemented, ok?
Lord Hol Napult's experience: 6/10. TL:DR; Good game, short and to the point. Sometimes too easy but worth a buy, especially if found on sale.
Pros:
-Great Artstyle (If you like Papers, Please or Please Don't Touch Anything you will love this)
-Great Gameplay Ideas (would love to see other game with that Switching OS's idea)
-Later Half of the game does a good job of switching things up on you and making the situation feel a bit more personal
-The Mainline system did make me feel a bit badass at times (Possible a con for some, since the gameplay for it don't change at all through out the game, i was ok with it)
Cons:
-Game is too linear, just when you think you can explore a bit just for fun. You find out the devs never programmed anything that far. (Example: You might find a website or email address, and you want to look it up just for fun but the devs never made anything for it. Would be nice to have more side stuff to hack into or mess around with.)
-Difficulty to some might be level of hand holding
-You personally never feel really attached to anything as a player and the character you play as (You don't really feel like you or your character is a part of the world and everything going on in it, the later chapters start to sort of fix that but by the time you feel something the game is over.)
-Like i said in the Pros list the Mainline System is the main gameplay aspect used in this game (To hack, check IP address, download stuff, etc.) and it can get repetative since it does not change at all
This was my first foray in the Hacker-esque type of games. I had my eye on Orwell, Uplink, Hacknet, etc. but Mainlining hit the right spot with its artwork reminding me of Papers, Please (there might be people that hate that fact that so many games are in a sense "copying" that style but to me i can get enough of it, if done right).
Took me about 8 hours to beat but honestly i left the computer running during gameplay many times so i would say a leisure run through this game for me was really about 6 hours. Once over the game definitely leaves you wanting more but the aesthetics of the "papers' please" type of games always has that to it (Perfect example is the great game "Please Don't Touch Anything").
Difficulty was honestly easy, very easy, sometimes holding your hand easy...but for my first outing in this type of game it showed me what was possible with it and left me wanting a game developer to take advantage of it, so to say in short i kinda have a hunger for more games like this but I definitely need more challenge.
Gameplay mechanics and story was very well done, for a kickstarted game. It seems like the devs had a plan they wanted to execute, they just needed money and once they got the support they needed, they created it flawlessly. The only downside to that is the game feels very linear (Meaning i wish there was even more stuff i could hack it to just for fun, other peoples emails, websites, etc. there's to little in this playground of a gameworld once you really get into it.) but like i said its a kickstarter game so i have forgiveness for it, if it was otherwise i would have to say i feel like the game devs didn't want to strive for more and just wanted to create the bare minimum needed to call it a finished project.
All in all, good game, short and to the point. Worth a buy, especially if found on sale like i did.
