About This Game

Just One Line is a fantasy RPG gamebook-like indie game heavily focused on choices and their consequences, in which you may compete with other players in an interactive online leaderboard.
Create different adventurers by choosing their races and backgrounds and embark on a variety of epic quests: each adventurer will progress by increasing his/her renown and relations with the factions of the Kingdom thus unlocking new races and backgrounds for your next playthroughs.



Even though the core game experience is a text-adventure 2.0, anyone, of any age, who likes fantasy RPGs or books should give it a try. In fact, Just One Line has many great features appealing to a broader audience:

  • CHOICES MATTER
    A lot of games say so, but a few truly mean it. Most of the quests in Just One Line are linked together and have different story paths according to your race, background, attributes and, more importantly, choices made in previous quests.
  • ENDLESS GAME EXPERIENCE
    The video game itself is a framework upon which countless quests may be created and played. By exploiting user generated content and partnering with writers, Just One Line could potentially provide ever-growing contents!
  • YOUR ADVENTURER, YOUR STORY
    Create your adventurers as you see fit. Start by choosing a race and a background, follow up with some aesthetic customization and finally shape him/her into a valorous hero or a ruthless villain. Their morality and honor changes according to your in-game choices.
  • WILL YOU BE THE BEST?
    When you resign your adventurer you can compete with other players in the online leaderboard to be the most renowned/good/evil/rich(/whatever!) adventurer of the Kingdom!
  • HIGH REPLAY VALUE
    Each quest has choices, or even entire story paths, only available after certain conditions are met and/or depending on previous quests’ choices! Every time you play with different adventurers, the story changes.
  • ALL ABOUT IMMERSION
    We feature a unique set of locations with a fancy toon graphics and a mesmerizing OST to aid your imagination when embarking on epic quests. You will be amazed!
  • SHORT STORIES, DEEP STORIES
    We believe that wall of texts are not needed for engaging desktop players. Quest telling is rich and thrilling yet not too darn long.
  • INNOVATIVE YET CONSERVATIVE
    The concept of our game is a breath of fresh air! However, you can expect everything a role-playing gamer has come to know and love: races, classes, skills, magic, powerful weapons and armors… Oh! And dragons, zombies and pirates too!

The game is very short, riddled with grammar and spelling issues, and just overall not very satisfying. [quote=Product Description]CHOICES MATTER A lot of games say so, but a few truly mean it.[/quote] Unfortunately this game also seems not to "truly mean it" as most of the choices really only affect a (mostly) binary success/fail for the quest. Some quests are referenced by previous quests, and the whole story is more or less tied to a single event that you unravel in bits, but it certainly doesn't feel like previous decisions have a significant affect on future quests. And with only 18 quests, there isn't really much room to play out the cause/effect mechanic anyway. Overall, it feels like a rather short "Choose Your Own Adventure" book.

Just one line is an interactive choose your own adventure book. You can purchase armor, weapons, skills, and classes that will change how you react to diffrent situations. This is an awesome idea but sadly they were kind of damned from the start because if youve ever read a choose your own adventure book you'll know that every chose is more or less a blind walk in minefield which can make it very frustrating. Just one line sadly suffered from this problem as well. The only way to rectify this issue is to just memorize your choses and quickly click through them just to get back to where you were and ,unsuprisingly, this becomes repetative and unfun. If the devs add a saving system of sorts this could easily be fixed but untill than i cant recommend this in good conscience. TL;DR fun for a bit but gets repetative and boring fast.

An interesting start, but buggy and severly lacking in content right now. Also remarkably frustrating as your adventurers are just going to die one after another assuming the bugs don't just cancel your session anyway. Something to keep an eye on, but can't recommend a purchase yet.

Nice litte game, but there is just too little content right now. I cannot recommend a game of this type that comes with just 15 short quests. You will "beat" the game in a few ours. It is in early access, and "many more quests will be added", as it says in-game, but at the moment, my advice is to wait.

Pros: - Great concept - Your choices really do matter - Quests that are sparked by a choice you've made earlier in your adventure or by an NPCs actions make the world feel more alive and give a feeling of continuity that is getting pretty rare in today's RPGs Eg: [ SPOILER ALERT ] [ SPOILER ALERT ] During one of your first missions, the daughter of your contractor tells you about how she accidentally threw a love potion in a river. That simple mistake makes the animals and plants around the river start to reproduce like crazy, starting a quest where you must help the elves restore the balance. It also awakens a dragon, wich you're later contracted to kill. ___________________ Cons: - Grammar mistakes - Menus and functionality in general still not completely optimized - [ The only thing that made me not recommend this game ] There are only about 13 or so quests... You just finish those quests, retire your adventurer, make a new one and then do the exact same quests again. I woul...

Can't recommend the game at the moment, it's fun the first couple of runs, but then you realize the game has almost no content, i would expect the game to have at least 50 quest, but it only has 18...

Finally a solid "choose your own adventure" has arrived. That is the shortest way to sum this game up. Great early access game and the developers are amazing at constantly working and updating the game. They keep the customers updated and love to hear feedback so they know what to improve. If you enjoy climbing the leaderboards to become the best adventurer, striving for achievements to unlock new races and classes, or just creating your own story, this game is for you. I'd recommend grabbing it now while it's in its early stages. For actually being able to choose your own adventure, I give this game a outstanding 5 stars.

It's cute, it's cartoony, it's simple, and it doesn't (at least for now) take itself seriously. It's basically a "choose your own adventure" game in bite-sized chunks, in which you get quests from a quest board at the tavern, perform them through a series of text choices, succeed (or fail) and get rewarded, as well as unlock other races and classes. The production values are good, with a consistent art style. No crashes in 30 minutes of play. - The overall feel for the game and fact it can be played in short sessions makes me believe it would do well on mobile platforms. The engine could allow for other genres as well. - To the devs: You will need a native English speaker to write your text. It is never possible to do this well if English is not your first language. The current English is passable, but contains odd phrases and some incorrect words and grammar. For example, many quests refer to the "Reign", when the word you wanted was "Realm". But fixing small mistakes such as this...

Really short at the moment but has the potential to become a great 'choose your own adventure' type game. I would recommend the devs run a spell check on their quest dialogues though. One thing I love is how the way you complete quests affect your options in other quests. I would love a few more options with quests though - I felt as though I was railroaded a lot of the time into taking quests where my options were limited due to their difficulty. I would also like to see a way of levelling up and increasing your attributes throughout the game. Being stuck on a base of 1, with a max increase of 2 from trinkets/equipment really does limit what you can feasibly do and the decisions you make. At the moment, it's a fun way to spend an hour or so. Not sure if worth the asking price considering the amount of gameplay at this stage, even if it is early access. That being said, it is enjoyable and the art style is lovely. Tbh I'm mixed, but am optimisitc and would lean more towards yes.

Please keep in mind that I write this review from the perspective of someone who paid for the game. Since it is now free, you might as well give it a try. I love the concept, I really do. However, the game is just far too short only having about 18 quests. You can finish a play through in under an hour. You get a total of four races to choose from, each starting with an extra point for either power, wit or cunning. However, the only option you can really choose is power, simply due to most missions requiring combat. It almost feels as though the developers just abandoned this game after launch, which is a true shame as it had some much potential.
