Mainlining is a new take on the traditional point and click adventure. The entire game takes place on the simulated desktop of the protagonist's computer. Assuming the role of an MI7 agent, the player must use their skill and cunning to gather evidence by hacking suspects' computers and phones.
As an MI7 operative your primary objective is to ensure the perpetrator's arrest and that the courts have sufficient evidence to hand out the longest custodial sentences possible. However, you'll also have to make judgements on whether the case your working on is complete. Move in too quickly and you may miss leads linking your case to much higher profile cyber-criminals. Act too slowly and your suspect may uncover you and escape. In excess of 500 known criminals are known to operate within your jurisdiction, who will you arrest?
