Linework

About

Linework casts you as a forensic artist figuring out crimes in 90s China through point-and-click interactions. You gather witness accounts, analyze evidence, and reconstruct scenes using sketch-based puzzles. The gameplay hinges on logical deduction and careful observation, with choices influencing how cases unfold. It’s a slow-burn mystery that prioritizes methodical thinking over action. The game’s specific historical setting and reliance on procedural puzzles set it apart. Though not backed by major sales figures, it has drawn praise from niche puzzle communities for its atmospheric design and layered storytelling. The clean visuals and deliberate pacing make it a low-stakes pick for players who enjoy methodical detective work.
