yes i cant for full release
There is something here that's satisfying, but still very bare bones. Very Schedule 1 with alcohol, but you have to track down sales on your own and barter the quantity and price on the spot. The map is big and you only interact with a small slice of it, but still feels kinda empty. My biggest qualm is that I played the demo, then saw this Prologue had recently been put up so I figured I'd try that out. They are the same thing, the only difference being that one quest giver does not require a follow up visit in the Prologue that did in the demo. Not sure why there are 2 offerings of the same experience. It feels like this could go either way; could come out and be way more fleshed out and fun to play, or it could just be a longer version of the demo.

Até o momento só joguei o prólogo, mas o que vi até agora tá muito bom, ele é bem parecido com o Schedule I, porém com suas diferenças, e pra quem já jogou o outro game, vai adorar. Pra quem tiver interesse, postei um vídeo da demonstração no meu canal… THE BREWLINE - Prólogo PT-BR (Sem Comentários) https://youtu.be/Gs0huzFx48c
题材很好,但是为什么经销商不给钱呀是只做到这里了吗,玩法配方单调远远不及Schedule I,配方可以参照酿造物语更多的配方才有更好的可玩性如果能参考酿造物语,再加上一些展会,宣传的内容,以及酒的评级我觉得是这个非常好的游戏发展的一个方向,希望这个游戏的正式版不是来圈钱浪费我时间的
本作游戏玩起来还是不错的,细节打磨不够突出,中文优化较少,指引也缺失,等后续版本再看看吧!
好玩,就是打水和倒水太难受了,别的操作都很方便,一到水桶就这么难受
this game good ash!!!
i got the game on keymailer and look great and love it
The Brewline — Prologue — бесплатная одиночная игра в жанрах песочницы и стратегии с элементами симулятора и иммерсивного геймплея. Действие разворачивается вокруг нелегального производства алкоголя: игрок выращивает урожай, изготавливает напитки, создаёт собственный бренд, налаживает связи с клиентами и строит подпольную империю. В центре сюжета — расследование ареста брата. Игра предлагает открытый мир, крафт, управление ресурсами, стелс‑элементы и сельское хозяйство. Плюсы: бесплатная модель распространения; поддержка русского языка; сочетание множества механик: крафт, менеджмент, сельское хозяйство, стелс; открытый мир для исследования и развития бизнеса; сюжетная линия с расследованием ареста брата; свобода действий: от выращивания сырья до построения бренда; необычные задания, дополняющие основной геймплей; низкие требования к железу (игра на Unreal Engine 4). Минусы: только одиночный режим (нет мультиплеера); возможная сложность освоения из‑за обилия механик; на ранних этапах может не хватать чёткого направления — игрок сам ищет задачи; риск монотонности рутинных процессов (посев, сбор, производство); графика, хоть и на Unreal Engine 4, может не впечатлить любителей фотореализма; ограниченная реиграбельность после завершения основной сюжетной линии; возможны баги в ранней версии (стадия — в разработке). Итог: The Brewline — Prologue заинтересует любителей симуляторов, песочниц и стратегий с упором на менеджмент и развитие подпольного бизнеса. Игра привлекает необычной тематикой, свободой действий и сюжетным мотивом, но может отпугнуть обилием рутинных задач и отсутствием мультиплеера. Хороший выбор для тех, кто хочет построить свою алкогольную империю в открытом мире — если готовы к освоению сложных механик и неспешному развитию.
The Brewline has a lot of potential and I really like the idea behind it. The story is interesting, the mystery makes you want to continue, and the whole concept feels fresh compared to many other simulator games. I especially liked that you can collect trash from the street and make money from it. Small details like that make the world feel more alive and give you more things to do besides just following the main objectives. There are a few things that could be improved. The tutorial at the beginning needs more work because some parts felt a bit unclear/blurry. I also think voice acting could add a lot more immersion to the story, of course only if the budget allows it. The XP system could also be adjusted a bit, because reaching level 2 felt slightly too slow. Overall, I really enjoyed it. The game has a strong idea, good atmosphere, and massive potential. I just hope the developers keep improving it and do not waste the opportunity, because this could become something really good.
