Mainlining is an engaging point-and-click hacking adventure that combines dark humor with a captivating narrative, drawing players into a world where privacy rights hang in the balance. Set against the backdrop of the BLU Pill Act and the revival of MI7 by the Secret Intelligence Service, the game challenges players to confront the ethical implications of surveillance as all personal online data becomes accessible to the authorities.

In this immersive experience, players assume the role of a newly recruited MI7 agent, tasked with hacking into suspects' computers and phones to gather essential evidence. The goal is to secure arrests and ensure the courts have sufficient proof for lengthy custodial sentences. However, players must exercise caution: moving too quickly may cause them to overlook crucial leads, while being too slow could result in suspects evading capture.

Mainlining's narrative parallels real-world events surrounding privacy legislation, echoing debates about the balance between security and civil liberties. With over five hundred known criminals operating within the game, you must strategically decide who to investigate. Developed by Sam Read and featuring contributions from renowned talents in writing and music, Mainlining offers a unique blend of skill, judgment, and cunning in a striking simulated desktop environment.
