FEEL SOMETHING.

A face, a sunset, a moment in time—our lives are the emotions we feel, and the stories we tell.

These are our stories.

Lineweight is a brand new experience from Cipher Prime. Each of its five chapters showcases a story with a specific emotional focus, illuminated with the studio's signature stylings of color, light, and music. Every moment, word, and image is controlled by your swipe, marrying storytelling and graphic design in a unique union we can't wait to share with you.

Ratings and reviews

I had access with Play Pass... However, occasionally, I purchase Play Pass games regardless. I may do that with this game whenever I can afford it because this isn't a game. It's a freaking work of art. Let me paint a picture for you... I'm autistic, and I struggle to relate or empathize with others for various reasons. The second chapter had tears running down my cheeks. I finished the game and immediately pulled this up to leave this review. Things like this make a difference in the world.

Not a game, but lovely narrative experience. If you want an interactive game or puzzle, this is not it. Anyone who reviewed this as boring was looking for something else. This is an incredibly creative and visual exploration of what interactive storytelling can look like. There are 5 chapters, unrelated vignettes each centered around a specific emotion. It's short, but thoughtfully executed. The small interactions you do to reveal and engage you in the story add to the emotional weight.

As somebody with a background in graphic design I really love the graphics in this game!! The parallax scrolling concept is fantastic, but I feel the game needs more development. There's not enough game play but I'm looking forward to seeing the direction it's going in. I've given it 5 stars because it's worth downloading for the pretty graphics and I want to support the developer, but it needs some improvement.
