A puzzle-detective game set in 1990s China: play as a forensic artist, interview witnesses, drag and drop testimony and documents, sketch suspects from clues, and piece together evidence to solve mysterious crimes.

Witnesses don’t lie the same way twice.In Linework, you’re a forensic sketch artist working cases in 1990s China, where story has gaps, every detail shifts, and the truth hides inside what people say. In Linework, you interview witnesses, learn their contradictions, and rebuild a suspect’s face from an imperfect memory. One line at a time.With each case lies a mystery where you have to talk, compare, doubt, and redraw until the picture matches reality.DIALOGUE DRIVEN INVESTIGATION<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Interview witnesses and extract details that don’t quite match</li><li>Compare fragmented testimony to cross-examine contradictions and missing pieces</li><li>Connect documents, clues, and statements to form a theory</li><li>Sketch a suspect's portrait with your findings</li><li>Solve cases that connect into a larger narrative</li></ul>KEY FEATURES<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Forensic Sketch - Reconstruct suspects from conflicting witness accounts<video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4176720/extras/0225a5297ffd8fe183c1e998446894e8.poster.avif?t=1768303643" width=1170 height=658 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4176720/extras/0225a5297ffd8fe183c1e998446894e8.webm?t=1768303643" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4176720/extras/0225a5297ffd8fe183c1e998446894e8.mp4?t=1768303643" type="video/mp4"></video></li><li>Drag, sort, and connect testimony and relevant evidence to deduct cases<video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4176720/extras/eda51a15f4cd9d470193e13c9c751248.poster.avif?t=1768303643" width=1170 height=658 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4176720/extras/eda51a15f4cd9d470193e13c9c751248.webm?t=1768303643" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4176720/extras/eda51a15f4cd9d470193e13c9c751248.mp4?t=1768303643" type="video/mp4"></video></li><li>Standalone cases that connects to a larger truth<video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4176720/extras/3735ce435655fc2a9c1071cd4d36bee5.poster.avif?t=1768303643" width=1170 height=658 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4176720/extras/3735ce435655fc2a9c1071cd4d36bee5.webm?t=1768303643" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4176720/extras/3735ce435655fc2a9c1071cd4d36bee5.mp4?t=1768303643" type="video/mp4"></video></li><li>Atmospheric late 90s settings<video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4176720/extras/2d1057b1495fb5125a25434016037471.poster.avif?t=1768303643" width=1170 height=658 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4176720/extras/2d1057b1495fb5125a25434016037471.webm?t=1768303643" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4176720/extras/2d1057b1495fb5125a25434016037471.mp4?t=1768303643" type="video/mp4"></video></li></ul>
