The Old Line

The Old Line is an atmospheric 2D endless runner about abandoned weather stations, unfinished research, and the traces people leave behind.

After the death of his mother, a former field researcher, a young man follows a forgotten survey route through remote forests and mountains, uncovering the remains of a project that may have discovered something nobody was ready to believe.

Run along a forgotten weather survey route inspired by abandoned field stations and remote maintenance trails.

Collect journals, recordings, maps, and archival fragments left behind by the Atmospheric Observation Program, a failed forecasting project shut down in 1984.

Traverse forests, open fields, and mountain ridges while uncovering the story of the people who once worked along the old line.

How to Play

Begin at the start of the old survey route and follow the line through forests, fields, and mountain stations.

Collect memories scattered along the path, represented by glowing stars, while avoiding obstacles by jumping or sliding beneath them. Each outpost acts as a checkpoint. If you hit an obstacle, you'll rest at the most recent station before continuing your journey.

As you progress, you'll uncover journals, photographs, recordings, and other fragments connected to the Atmospheric Observation Program and the people who worked along the old line.

Collected memories, narrative entries, and discovered outposts can be viewed in the Journal tab through the pause menu or the settings menu on the main screen. Overall gameplay statistics, including total distance traveled and total rests, can be viewed in the Stats tab.
