Out of Line

Out of Line is a platform game with adventure game elements. It was developed by an independent Portuguese studio Nerd Monkeys and was published by Hatinh Interactive.

Plot

The main character of Out of Line is a boy named San. During the game we follow the protagonist in his escape from the factory, which used to be his home. The case is not easy, because the facility has been taken over by a sinister entity. Fortunately, our protagonist is not alone and is not defenseless - he can count on the help of his allies and deal with any adversities encountered with the help of his javelin.

Mechanics

Out of Line is a side-scroller. Traversing various locations, we have to show not only dexterity, but also ingenuity. The former comes in handy while overcoming terrain obstacles and jumping on platforms, while a sharp mind is necessary to solve numerous environmental puzzles. To deal with the puzzles, we have to use the javelin, with which we interact with the environment; we can, for example, use it as a lever or throw it at hard to reach switches. As San can't fight, he often has to dodge the enemies he encounters on his way. As the protagonist progresses, he also encounters friendly characters who are willing to help him in his perilous crossing.

Technical aspects

The graphic design of Out of Line was kept in the original style, which makes this production similar to a painting painted with watercolors.
