Once Upon a Line
A narrative adventure game set in a future where a pandemic has decimated humanity and giant insects help survivors build a new world. Players control talented beings, uncover hidden words on a scratch-off board, and collect the corresponding cards to reveal the story and new objectives. Each chapter introduces riddles, anagrams, palindromes, and other obstacles. The quest must be completed before the final square on the Line of Tragedy is scratched off.
