In one line

No monsters. The cave is the threat. A cave-diving game built on the real rules divers live by.

Short description

The Line is a cave-diving game for iPhone, iPad and Mac with no monsters: the cave is the threat. Follow a single guideline through six flooded cave systems, keep a third of your gas for the way home, and find out what happened to Nadia Vell, the diver who went into the Ciega system alone and never came back.

About the game

The Line turns the real rules of cave diving into quiet, tense play. A continuous guideline is the only way home. The rule of thirds decides when you turn. Touch the floor and the water turns to milk: a silt-out, zero visibility, one hand on the line. Every dive ends with an accident analysis that names the rule you broke.

The campaign runs through six systems, from a jungle cenote to an alpine expedition to a black-water spring whose current never stops. Each has its own person on the surface and its own ending. Off the line wait 95 finds, lost slates with treasure maps and survey stations. A Daily Cave is the same for every diver in the world; a Weekly Cave adds one special rule and lets you race a ghost of your own best run.
