About This Game "Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say." - Edward SnowdenMainlining is a thrilling point and click hacking adventure that mixes dark and dry humour with a gripping narrative that will have you hooked from the very first case. Following the government's introduction of the BLU Pill Act and the Secret Intelligence Service's reintroduction of MI7, all online personal data is accessible by the powers that be. Mainlining questions techno-ethics and whether it is acceptable for an organisation to have the power to look at personal data. What if someone else got the key to that?Mainlining and its BLU Pill Act mirrors what's happening in our own world. On November 4th 2015 the The Draft Investigatory Powers Bill was discussed in the British Parliament's House of Commons for the very first time. It’s likely that the bill will be passed sometime in 2016, meaning that domestic mobile and broadband providers will be forced to assist authorities with gathering data and storing it for a year. The police and security services will have access to the top line of the UK’s population browsing history, as well as knowing what apps have been used.Referred to in the popular media as “the Snooper’s Charter” and opposed by a number of civil and human rights organisations, the Investigatory Powers Bill is positioned to aid security forces in tracking terrorists and serious cyber criminals who use increasingly sophisticated online methods. Mainlining is a refreshing take on the traditional point and click adventure. The entire game takes place on the simulated desktop of the protagonist’s computer. Assuming the role of a newly recruited MI7 agent and working within the remit of the Blu Pill Act, the player must use their skill, judgement and cunningness to gather evidence by hacking suspects’ computers and phones.As a MI7 operative your primary objectives are to ensure the perpetrator’s arrest and that the courts have sufficient evidence to hand out the longest custodial sentences possible. However, you’ll also have to make judgements on whether the case you're working on is complete. Move in too quickly and you may miss leads linking your case to much higher profile cyber-criminals. Act too slowly and your suspect may detect you and escape.In excess of five hundred known criminals are known to operate within your jurisdiction, who will you investigate?The driving force behind Rebelephant is British-born developer and designer, Sam Read. Highlighted by internationally renowned publication Develop as one of the 30-under-30 to watch out for, Sam has already tasted success as a key member of the HyperSloth team and their critically acclaimed first-person adventure, Dream. Owner of Rebelephant, Sam is responsible for the design, direction and coding of Mainlining.To fit in with the game's 2009, feel Rebelephant has called upon the artistic talents of Dave Grey who, in his own words, "Makes things with pixels. Like games and stories and things". Dave's previous collaborations include Microsoft and HBO.Mainlining relies heavily on an energetic narrative that draws the player into the game, blurring the lines between reality and the imaginary world of MI7. Rebelephant wasted no time and called upon one of the best scriptwriters in the business, Canadian novelist Jill Murray. Jill was nominated for Writers Guild Award for Outstanding Video Game Writing for her work on Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and won the award for scriptwriting on Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation.For the final part of the jigsaw Rebelephant has drafted in the sublime audio talents of Jared Emerson-Johnson. BAFTA nominated, Jared's scores include Telltale Games' Sam & Max series, The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, Tales From the Borderlands and Game of Thrones. 1075eedd30 Title: MainliningGenre: Adventure, Indie, SimulationDeveloper:RebelephantPublisher:Merge GamesRelease Date: 26 Jan, 2017 Mainlining Serial Number main lining of uterus. mainlining case 3. mainlining autoflower. android kernel mainlining. mainlining weed timelapse. main lining 32 colas. mainlining plants. mainlining paso a paso. mainlining guide case 2. mainlining clones. mainlining walkthrough case 4. jesus mainlining. mainlining training. mainlining game how many cases. mainlining game free. mainlining wiki. mainlining the monster. mainlining case 10 walkthrough. mainlining pronunciation. mainlining insulin. mainlining by nugbuckets. mainlining vs super cropping. mainlining of drugs. mainlining en francais. mainlining pc game. mainlining case 1 25 years. mainlining manifold. o mainlining. mainlining paso a paso. mainlining walkthrough case 1. mainlining dmt. mainlining guide case 2. mainlining acid. mainlining case 2. mainlining grow journal. mainlining nugbuckets. mainlining mission 3. mainlining blue dream. mainlining autos. mainlining medical. mainlining nebula haze. mainlining dmt. mainlining case 6. mainlining crack. mainlining walkthrough case 1. mainlining a horse. mainlining week 4. mainlining vs topping. mainlining of drugs. mainlining veg. mainlining review. main lining jdc cannaweed. mainlining case 7. mainlining weed. mainlining case 5. mainlining walkthrough case 3. mainlining fatal error. mainlining game case 3 I keep alt + tabbing out of the game10 / 10. Mainlining is a nifty little adventure game with a hacking theme that, unlike other hacking games available on steam, eschews the nitty gritty of command-line interface wizardry in favor of telling a succint story well within its means. That is to say, if you've avoided other hacking games because they emulate real-world operating systems all too closely, you can relax - Mainlining's CLI is quite simple and doesn't require any foreknowledge of how command-line operating systems work.Instead of bringing the hardcore keyboard thunder, Mainlining opts for funtional aesthetics. When you first start up the game, you'll be looking at a pixelated mock-up of a WinXP-like desktop. Though typing away in the CLI is a big part of the game, you'll only ever need three or four commands, all of which are easy to remember. The rest is as you would normally navigate a desktop OS these days - with a mouse. Throughout the game, you will load applications onto your start bar, read files on your desktop notepad, and browse a well-realized fake web, all the while using information you find to remotely hack into other systems. Throughout several cases, you will follow a bread-crumb trail that will eventually unravel to reveal a story.That story being you work for MI7, a sister org to the famous MI5, only its main focus is online activity facilitating real-world crimes, and the backdrop of all this is a new act simply called the BLU Pill. While it never gets into specifics, BLU Pill basically enables the gov't to break into systems legally in order to fight crime. Naturally, this angers a few people and they organize themselves into a secret hacking group to counter MI7's efforts. The game makes no hard stance on the politics of such a law, but throughout the game, you're never quite sure if you're the good guy or the bad guy.In any case, this is all handled with beautiful pixel-style art from end-to-end, from presenting you nostalgic mock-ups of popular desktops (WinXP, iOS, etc) to a whole database full of pixel faces of the citizens of wherever you are. In terms of aesthetics, Mainlining really reminded me of Digital A Love Story, and it unfolds in a very similar manner. As you read chat logs and other random files you nab off unsuspecting systems, you'll learn about the inhabitants of this world and the characters found therein. Moreover, there are live chat windows on your screen that dole out large portions of the story and all you ever have are names. You're not told who's who, but it eventually all slots into place.While I didn't encounter any glaring bugs, the game doesn't give you a lot of options to go off-script, nor does it make any effort throw any red herrings at you so unless you're really trying to find ways to break the game, you likely won't have a problem. At all times, I was patienly waiting for the proverbial Other Shoe, but it never really came. As each day/case passes, you'll be told what you need to find in order to proceed and any previously-learned knowledge usually doesn't work again, so going off the beaten path doesn't really present itself. You either figure out what to do next or you don't.That being said, I completed the game in about 2 hours or so and never even so much as wished for a hint. All of the challenges in the game are easily met and good segments of the game are just waiting around for some things to happen. I can't really describe more since that would spoil it, but for the most part, it plays a lot like the old standard of cutscene -> gameplay -> cutscene.All in all, I found Mainlining to be an enjoyable experience and a perfect entry point into the genre since it really does a little of everything. Outside of some proofreading mishaps, the game is solid.. A very interesting game that makes you think.. This game was AMAZING! It keeps your interest and is engaging without leaving you completely in the dark. Got frustrated a couple of times trying to arrest people but it was worth the feeling of satisfaction when I got the right person. I also loved the humor, made for some comic relief without going over the top. One thing I would want to see improved would be saving where I pause the game rather than having to start over. Also got me thinking about privacy and safety in the real world. Thanks so much to the creators of this game, I loved it!. I want to like this game, yet...I just can't. You see, there's a game breaking bug I just can't make my way past - I've tried contacting the developers on this game but they just haven't gotten back to me about it. As I looked on the bug report area of steam I've noticed others having the exact same issue as I. Such ashame as I really love the idea of this game and the look & feel.. Wonderful Game!. Pros:- Original concept / few games like it- Amazing pixel art and cool characters- Good story and not too easy- Fun gameplay- Lots of suspects and game mechanicsCons:- Kind of cluttery- Pinging and IPhacking gets repetitiveOverall this game by Rebelelephant is an amazing game and one of very few hacking themed game, among other good hacking games is hacknet. Its a difficult but well made game and i suggest you play it. I myself had to look up on youtube for some cases. But i think you should buy it. It`s definetly worth the money.. Between the pop culture references and the puzzling, I loved this game. I took about 4 hours to play through the entire thing and I was immersed in the story they presented me. When a game drags me in and doesn't let go until it's over, you know I'm having fun with it. My only complaint was that the game's UI could've been better. It wasn't so terrible that the game was unplayable, but as someone who works with computers full time, I definitely felt like I had to slow down a lot to mess around with the in-game windows.
