Gameplay
Mainlining is a traditional point and click adventure. The 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, judgment, and cunning to gather evidence by hacking suspects’ computers and phones. As a member of “MI7”, the player must investigate around in files, folders, websites, online profiles, bank statements, trying to find evidence on a target. The player must submit their evidence, along with the suspect’s location, to an ‘arrest system’. If the player got the right piece of evidence, on the right person and the right place, they get locked up and it’s on to the next day’s case file.[3][4][1][5]
