The Line is a rogue-like / dungeon crawler/survival with a turn-based combat system. The main object is to stand out from the long line for resettlement from the oppressive east segment of the city. The game begins when authorities decide to show a gesture of goodwill and move people from the rotting district to new buildings.

Our protagonists are Angelina and her companion, the mutated dog Fin. This girl is part of a small group that wants to know about the true nature of the resettlement. The queue moves extremely slowly, so you have to fight your way through or negotiate.

Angelina can use turn-based combat. She has six attacks, most of which have cooldowns. Four attacks can deal buffs and debuffs, and others can deal different amounts of damage.

The second way to proceed is to identify the enemies' mental weaknesses and use them. The third way is to simply exchange places for items from the inventory.
