Run Between Tall Buildings in This Futuristic Mirror's Edge-Like Parkour Adventure
Master your tricks while delivering goods in PANLINE.
Viridian Matters
The time to enjoy the freedom of movement is now, or whenever PANLINE is out in 2026. The game might remind you of Mirror's Edge with its skyscrapers and running mechanics. And running is what you're going to do a lot here, as you work for the Charter crew, "a network of couriers, fixers, and data brokers."
"PANLINE is the Civic Flow Engine that sustains abundance for all. A system of systems, integrating governance, economics, and public infrastructure to implement the best possible material conditions for the citizens of The City. All essential and most non-essential goods are produced at zero cost. "
Your job is to deliver goods in a city full of closed doors and secret passages. Use your tools and the PANLET device to access the best spots. Just be careful: if you land wrong, the PANLET will break, and you'll have to spend your hard-earned money on repairs.
Viridian Matters
Features:
- Falls wipe you: What you carry is what you risk, and progress only counts once you make it back to base.
- Learning New Movement: New techniques come from senior runners. Look for them on the rooftops.
- Non-linear, open city: Pick a direction and run. Don't forget the way you came from.
- Pure navigation: No map. Landmarks, memory, and your compass are everything you need to keep yourself oriented.
- Day/Night structure: Run during the day and return to base at night to consolidate until you get your Night Running Pass.
- Salvage: Items found in The City enable repairs, upgrades, and the ability to take riskier contracts.
- Inventory pressure: Limited space. Secured slots keep your most valuable cargo safe after slip-ups.
- Procedural jobs: Work appears dynamically through boards and contacts. Keep an eye out for the type of payout you need.
- PANLET Hacks: Bring up your PANLET and manipulate the city's infrastructure to suit your needs.
- District progression: New areas open when your movement, PANLET capability, and social reach are advanced enough to operate there.
- Runner's Hideout: Repair gear, upgrade your loadout, manage your stash, and spend your favors at night to get ready for the next day.

The developers from Viridian Matters seem to have a pretty solid idea about what they want the world to be like, so if you're interested, wishlist PANLINE on Steam.
