This one came out of left field for me, but I’m glad I noticed it just before release! I am really looking forward to my Mainlining blind playthrough because of its similarities with Orwell (which I loved) and the overall look, feel, and concept of Mainlining: that we’re a hacker working for an intelligence agency. So come and let’s play mainlining (this video we are focusing on the mainlining first case)! I cannot wait to see more Mainlining gameplay. I’ll probably also offer a little Mainlining review or my Mainlining first impressions; so lets play Mainlining!

Episode 1 of the Mainlining blind playthrough has us log into MI7’s systems only to find that muscleboy81 has erased all of our data. After a general reboot, we start hacking a series of clandestine websites in an attempt to find his real name and any evidence that he committed crimes. Episode 2 of let’s play Mainlining blind, we continue investigating Thorn and have to track down a drug dealing ring calling its product “Hare.” Episode 3 has us investigating the courier form last time; we find out that fake identities, illicit gambling, and pony fanfiction are all involved! Episode 4 of let’s play Mainlining has us work through Case 4, wherein we look through Bud Blaze’s computer. Episode 5 (Case 5) of the Mainlining blind playthrough gets serious as we follow Agent Cooper on an undercover op. In Case 6 of let’s play mainlining, we investigate the disappearance of Neysa Wood and explore her connections to various shady characters. Case 7 has us tracking down the person who murdered Kim Seo-Yun while she was in the prison at MI7. Case 8 of let’s play Mainlining blind has us look through a mysterious laptop in search of more clues. Case 9 of Mainlining blind playthrough has us working form home. Case 10 of let’s play Mainlining has us working to stop Mr. Blue from murdering PW. Mainlining Case 11 has us track down wacko_ninja. In Mainlining, we read front-end website, back-end server content, and anything else we can find in order to get the job done. The mainlining gameplay is very similar to Orwell, except we aren’t presented with any clue as to what is or is not important. Overall, I am very excited to continue my let’s play Mainlining blind series, and hope you stay with me throughout this mainlining full playthrough and guide.
Mainlining gameplay is built around a case model—solving a case leads to new clues for another case, and so on. The Mainlining story gets deeper, more complex, and more challenging. We will cover it all in this mainlining full walkthrough.
Overall, Mainlining seems like a slow-paced game that is very heavily reliant on reading and information gathering. Mainlining asks players to read documents, websites, and to decide how and when and where to hack using the Mainlining tool. Using the information gathered in these investigations, the Mainlining gameplay then requires players to make decisions about who to arrest and on what charges. For each arrest, you need a name, location, and evidence of the crime. There are obvious parallels between Mainlining and Orwell, another excellent game that we’ve already played. I hope you come with me on this new journey and let’s play Mainlining!
