To be honest the game shouldn't have a price at all. It should be free, if anything. And here's why; [list] [*]The game plays so badly you'd think it's in alpha stage, I had to go back and check if it was in early development and I wasn't confusing it with another game... [*]You can literally write in the menu, like write your own text, it's bizzare, I've never seen that before in a game. It's not a feature, it's a bug. How can there be such obvious bugs at the start of a game already, surely you would have seen it to begin with and fixed it by the time you release it. [*]The game is full of invisible walls. [*]If you select resolution, in my case 1080p, it crashes. [*]The puzzles are really weird and don't really have any logic to them... [*]There's no motion blur or headbob controlls so you will get really sick. [*]I feel bad for saying it but it's so far really boring but I will try to finish it. [/list]

About This Game
The line is a narrative game with integrated puzzles.
In the near future, most of the land was flooded, due to the sudden rise of the seas, creating a social collapse.
A few survivors decided to try and take control again, so they organized themselves into small teams, called lines. These lines were planned for three people, a leader, a safety officer and a health worker. Their mission was to find survivors among the remains of the abandoned cities, prepare them and take them to the few areas where the water had not yet reached, to form communities.
At first everything went well, but with time, some lines disappeared without a trace, so a group of explorers was created, to try to recover the supplies of those old lines and try to find out what happened.
You are a scout, and your mission is to find out what happened to line 14.
- In order to move forward, you will need to find any part of the story, in those parts are the keys to solve the puzzles.
- Follow the path that led to line 14 until its disappearance, over six chapters.
- Overcome four highly difficult puzzles.
The Line is a short but intense game, you will have to be attentive to everything you read.
------------------------------------------------
PATCH 1.1
- Errors in the Spanish texts have been corrected.
- More feedback has been given to the player on the last puzzle.
- A bug has been fixed that allowed to write about some notes.
- Corrected the trees without collision.
- I am investigating the causes of crashing when putting 1080 resolution in the main menu, which has been reported by some users. For now, to avoid it, you have to change the resolution in the pause menu once you are playing, instead of in the main menu.

User Reviews
Yes, the game is not perfect but I really liked the story. I kept me interested through out the whole game. This is your first game? That's awesome. I'm sure you'll keep getting better. Can't wait for your next game. Good job.
I bought this game simply because some of the reviewers here were busting the devs chops. It is a bit buggy at this point, but is promising. It's $1.99, as much as you'd spend for a cheap cup of coffee, and the visuals are good, so if it's this guy's first offering, let him fix it, and then if it still doesn't work, dump on him. Give the guy a chance, I want more games from guys like this. Stop being so impatient. It's a process, hence the $1.99 price tag.
This game was interesting to say at the least. The story was intriguing and after the fourth chapter, I had a hunch of who was behind it. Thus, I was correct but I did not expect that ending. Kudos to the developer for this being the first game (and a team of one). If you like these type of games, it may be suitable for you. Giving this a recommendation because I can tell that the developer worked hard for this and you have my support! I hope to see in the future even more games from you. Pros: -Nice visuals and sounds -Movement was smooth -Third puzzle was by far the best one in the game that I enjoyed (implement that one in your future puzzle games!) Cons: -The last puzzle (maybe in the note, he could hint at time?) -No landing sound after jumping -No inventory system Work ons: -Try to implement an inventory system for collecting the notes (to negate the fact of writing important stuff down or running all the back to the note) -The last puzzle, it was more confusing than the other...
Unique story, albeit a short one. I cannot finish due to the bridge. Platforming is not my thing. I will only try so many times before giving it up. For the life of me, I can't figure out why devs are putting this crap in their puzzle games. That is not a puzzle. It was good while it lasted.
I really want to give this a thumbs up because the environments are so detailed, lush, and gorgeous... but I can't. Two out of the four puzzles are just horrendous, and the final puzzle is intentionally misleading. This results in a huge amount of time being wasted on what should be a simple enough puzzle.
Well, I like to give some indie studio a chance but this one... The graphic settings should have more, the brightness in my game is horrible. I played 30 minutes and I'm already bored. I know it's kind of a walking simulator but with bad graphic I don't feel like walking in there. Sergio diary is in spanish? How the saves work? I exit and when I got back I was at the start of chapter. I don't even understand how this game takes 16gb of space. I don't think steam should have put this game in is store page. As of right now this game is not worth my time. I don't like to give bad review but I paid for something that I don't enjoy.
I liked it.
There are a lot of bugs in this game. The puzzles aren't hard but they are kind of dull.
