About

The Line is a rogue-like / dungeon crawler/survival with a turn-based combat system. The main object is to stand out from the long line for resettlement from the oppressive east segment of the city. The game begins when authorities decide to show a gesture of goodwill and move people from the rotting district to new buildings.
Our protagonists are Angelina and her companion, the mutated dog Fin. This girl is part of a small group that wants to know about the true nature of the resettlement. The queue moves extremely slowly, so you have to fight your way through or negotiate.

Angelina can use turn-based combat. She has six attacks, most of which have cooldowns. Four attacks can deal buffs and debuffs, and others can deal different amounts of damage.

The second way to proceed is to identify the enemies' mental weaknesses and use them. The third way is to simply exchange places for items from the inventory.
The dog Fin can search in special places that people can’t reach. Players are evaluated for looting chests, boxes, tables, and other objects.

[b]Пожалуйста, расскажите мне как в это играть.[/b] Мне понравилась игра, с первых же минут, но вот продвинуться дальше первого босса у меня не выходит. Да, это не обзор - это крик о помощи.
好久没见到这么草率的游戏了
The Line is a confused mess of game genres and concepts, which might be fine if they blended well together. Part 2D scroller, part RPG with procedurally generated content, part puzzle game and questionably story driven. The game is hard to define, because these elements are poorly integrated. Graphics are an unusual quirky style that looks a bit like magazine tearouts in stop-motion animation, which also might be fine if the rest of the game was there to back it up. At least it's not retro pixel graphics. On to the real problems. No support for HD, let alone UHD graphics, the game is buggy and crashes/freezes or just puts itself into a state you can't get out of (like locking up in a puzzle because there's no available moves). Because the bugs in the game make it mostly unplayable, I can't recommend it.
Увы, и эта "игра" оказалась полным шлаком, как с геймплея, так и с технической стороны. Разработчики - бездари с закосом под артхаусников.
Не сразу разобрался, но по мере ознакомления, начинаешь проникаться: оценивать своё поведение в очереди.
Game does not even work half the time.
I had my eyes on this game for a long time because of it's unique artstyle. And couple of days ago studio organized a small giveaway, Again, thank you very much for that. Now for the review: To be honest I didn't expect much from it's gameplay. I came for the visuals but it turned out the gameplay is actually pretty decent. It's combat/pacifist system is simple and entertaining. The skill tree is logical and does not contain useless skills. Mini-games didn't bore me. (I must say though that it takes some time in the beggining to figure everything out. But it won't take more than 10 minutes ) Sure, as was mentioned earlier in other reviews the game has a fair share of bugs, but I am very pleased to see an actually thoughtful(but kept simple) gameplay.Visuals and atmosphere are absolutely brilliant. As I said, I think that the gameplay is pretty decent, but even if it wasn't the game would still be worth playing just for that awesome artstyle. I recommend this game. Furthermore, right now I'm gonna go and buy their other game - "Blind Boris"
the mini games keep freezing if you enter as the dog which you don't know beforehand and it's a rather confusing bizarre art project instead of an actual game overall but some people might enjoy this. everyone has a different taste. as of now because of the freeze bug this game is unplayable. check for patches clarifying that this bug has been dealt with before buying this game.
[b] Вкратце: [/b] рекомендую эту игру любителям оригинального стиля, интересных идей и простого затягивающего геймплея. Не рекомендую тем, кто не готов мириться с багами и разбираться в том, как вообще играть. [b] Плюсы: [/b] + Очень интересный визуальный ряд в стиле коллажей дадаистов + Разные персонажи в разных районах города, с уникальными и неожиданными анимациями атаки ([spoiler] беременная женщина, за которую дерется ее ребенок из живота — это что-то [/spoiler]) + Поначалу сложный, но ближе к концу простой геймплей, в какой-то момент затягивающий с головой + Атмосферная музыка + Необычный лор [b] Минусы: [/b] - Очень много багов. Не со всеми персонажами выходит взаимодействовать, хотя это самое интересное. Миниигра с собакой зависает, если играть в неё слишком быстро. Хотелось пройти игру на все концовки, чтобы узнать, что еще она ещё может дать, но это сделать не удалось, все ответвления после первого прохождения куда-то пропали или не работали, и так далее - Несколько опечаток Хотелось бы, чтобы игру довели до более играбельного состояния. Она уже сейчас может быть очень интересна, особенно с точки зрения визуала и идей, однако ей действительно не хватает полировки. Надеюсь, когда-нибудь увижу новые патчи для неё.
O jogo é bizarro e isso é algo que até me interessa, gostei da arte estranha e da música que deixa vc bem desconfortável Mas é impossível recomendar pela quantidade de bug que o jogo tem ele simplesmente trava com 5min de gameplay Esperei bastante até para ver se melhorava com algum patch mas não foi o caso
