There is only one Reason why I can't recommend Mainlining to anyone: It's super linear.
Ok that's not a Problem at first. A Game can be good if there is only one Final Solution or narratively the same thing always comes out.
This is not the Case here, by the way, you can arrest each Mission one of three Crimean Minelles. Why you can't book all three and why you always find two smaller ones on the Way to the self-sought.
The Problem with Mainlaining is that the Way to Solve it always has only one Way. In a Game about Information, there is not enough Information! You should find something out of XYZ? Yeah ok. Either is far too easy: I have two Documents. One in which he confesses and one in which stands that his Dog has made racing. WHAT WIRDS WOHL BE?!
Or there's a lot to be cloked: Oh, I'm just supposed to type random ne email addresse. Ja ok da was talked about by nem strip club called Fishers. My first Idea now is not to hope that there is a ne homepage. Especially not when the Game has taught you to pay attention to links.
You have to keep guessing. Extended not advised correctly? Well, bad Luck doesn't go any further.
Nor should we guess too well. If you advise a Step too far, the Game says that's not possible. Only Works when you advise at the right Time. Which you don't usually do anymore. Won't Go the first time!
Mainlining makes Titles like Uplink, Hacknet and Orwell, all of which have weakened, seem like flawless Wonder games.

Decent, but definitely the game is not worth €10, I bought in the summer sales at 2.50 and still think it's too much. (or think about buying the Deluxe Edition, you can find virtually any OST of a game in the files of the same, if not, on Spotify)
It'S a pretty simple game in terms of graphics, It could run on any toaster.
The Soundtrack is good, though something repetitive.
The gameplay reminds a little of Papers, Please. One case after another in which you have to find the suspect, his location and evidence of the crime through a program called "Mainline" (which is suspiciously similar to the cmd of any computer).
As you advance in the game you are getting new programs that will help you to solve the cases, such as Tracking Map and SkyBox. And others you have from the beginning as the Notes (which in my opinion is practically useless).
It got something more interesting when Oswalt us goodbye to think that we are the murderer of Cooper, what I did not just convince is that immediately we have another computer and someone who sends us the files to get out of that trouble, could have done something to lengthen A little and put more tension I say. [FIN SPOILER]
Not bad, but the cases are too short if you've already played video games of this type and you know where to look and read from each file. I give it a 6.5/10 basically because it is very short and the story is very better.
If you are interested in Hackerman type games because you have never played one, this is a good start. Of Course, if you don't mind that the game is completely in English.
