A Blurred Line is a futuristic game that makes us play as Talan, a regular blue-collar worker at a factory run by the powerful Delcentric. When the Director of the Agency is assassinated after giving a speech at the factory Talan works at, Talan finds himself the prime suspect and goes on the run. It's then up to Talan to evade his pursuers while discovering his new powers and getting to the bottom of the mystery at hand.
A Blurred Line is an old classic praised for its compelling storyline and non-linearity. Aside from a couple of puzzles and minigames, this is a classic Rpgmaker 2000 adventure that uses the default system with a party of characters with various abilities and random battles. Unfortunately the story was left incomplete, the final chapter, Line's End, was teased for a winter 2003 release, but since then, there has been no word on it. It's no doubt that this game influenced several other Rpgmaker games of the following years.
Random Fact: maybe a coincidence, but the protagonist's name is Talan, almost identical to Taran, the name of a previous complete game by Lysander86: The Book of Three, that was an adaptation of the classic fantasy novel of the same name by Lloyd Alexander.
Final Verdict: a classic Cyberpunk adventure, sadly unfinished. I played and enjoyed it a long time ago, and probably hasn't aged well at all. Still I think it was pretty good except maybe for the maps, not really the strong point of Lys86. The non-linearity was instead the main and best aspect.
