ONE LINE
--------
One contract, one Mark, one clean second - then the long walk off the
roof. A systemic noir sniper thriller in a city that eats its own.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
In Morrow City, 1991, you are a contractor: study the map, take the
perch, read a fully-voiced police band, and drop the Mark before they
reach the venue - without hitting a civilian and without getting caught
in the net that closes the instant you fire.

Every rifle wins at something and nothing wins at everything. Every
mistake has a number, and the city adds them up. A deep mystery unfolds
across hand-built chapters (Story), or you take on escalating random
cities forever (Challenge). Left click, right click, the wheel - that's
the whole game. The depth is in the reading.

KEY FEATURES
------------
- A fully-voiced police band where every officer is a permanent, named
  character - the feed IS the threat model.
- The IDEA doctrine: Intel, Deployment, Engagement, Abscond.
- A systemic Chaos Ladder: every mistake has a number, and the city
  sends waves from real precinct doors.
- Three rifles, three sidearms, three disguises - everything is the
  best at something, nothing at everything.
- Story mode: a deep mystery across hand-built, deterministic chapters.
  Challenge mode: escalating random cities, forever.
- Noir art direction inspired by the Mac classic Another World.
- The whole game is left click, right click, and the wheel.
