Ink and Lines
A downloadable game for Windows
Ink and Lines is a game about censorship and secret communication in a dystopian setting.
The game is set in a derelict city ran by The Ministry, headed by the ignoble Grand Magus. You are hired as an official Ministry Cleanser, tasked with censoring documents from the press, citizens, and the historical archives.
But there is a stir of rebellion laying beneath the surface of censored letters and propaganda newspapers. Will you play your part in it? Or will you prioritize your own safety?
An alpha demo is available to play on Windows. The only requirement is a standard mouse. Please give it a try and let me know what you think!

I reaally love the concept and you got a great thing here. I just got very frustrated after 2 attempts and always getting the first few documents wrong somehow for "miscleansing". I think the beginning of the game should have smaller documents to begin with, it was a bit taxing on my to read every sentence and try to determine if it complies with each rule.
I also genuinely don't know what I did wrong, I guess I censored too much ? Maybe there should be less of a penalty for that, or at least show the parts you shouldn't have censored cause I just left very confused.
Please keep working on this I'd love to see where this goes and pick it up again soon :)
Thanks for trying it out! I'm getting similar feedback from others as well. I'll be looking into ways of ramping up the difficulty better and making the exact meaning of each of the rules clearer. Thanks again!
